On Monday, Rupert Murdoch, the mogul famous for scandal, decided to cancel the OJ Special just a week after it was announced. “I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project.”
Erin Crum, spokeswoman for HarperCollins, joined him and cancelled OJ’s book as well. Some copies had already been shipped to stores, but they will be recalled and “destroyed.” With Ebay Fever already gripping the nation, resulting from Holiday Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii auctions, the Bag Man predicts that any “misappropriated copies” will instantly become top sellers on the auction site. Hopefully, if that’s the case, Ebay will join Fox and HarperCollins to ban these auctions.
It’s about time someone chose doing what’s right over some extra money.
