Fox tries to ban OJ Simpsons
Daggers drawn by Murdoch company as innocent man gets another kick in the teeth
A barely-humourous parody of OJ Simpson's family in the role of the Simpsons hasn't gone down well with the lovely people at Fox who have demanded it's removal from the internet.
The clips, which are proving rather popular on YouTube, show the world's most famously innocent man discussing with his children how he would have killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown IF he had done it. Those that think this might be a bit below the belt would be advised to seek out a manuscript of a book OJ wrote last year on the exact same premise (no, really...). Sadly someone thought this potential publishing phenomenon might be a bad idea and the book was cancelled by the publishers ReganBooks who, like Fox, are part of News Corp. Small world.
The cartoons bring some much unneeded extra publicity to The Simpsons with their first movie out later this year; an event so exciting for Simpsons fans that they are almost willing to forget that the show has been speeding down hill for years.
