"If I Did It"... this is a new low in publishing and promotion
Category Everything Else
O. J. Simpson is out promoting his new book "If I Did It", which takes a hypothetical look at how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend "if he did it".
Is anyone else appalled by the audacity and greed at work here? I don't care if the publisher considers this "his confession"...
What's worse is that with the legal concept of "double jeopardy", he can't be tried criminally for those murders again. So the final chapter could be "guess what? I *did* do it!", and there's nothing much that could be done about it.
Society is so screwed up...

Is this common sense or the market winning out?
