David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Killer Synergy
An appropriately outraged take on same.
Question: $3.5 million? Really? O.J. can still pull that kind of dough? Judith Regan got hosed: I could've talked him down to $1.75 million, easy. And anyway, shouldn't that money go directly to the victims' families? After all, he hasn't coughed up much of the $33.5 million they were to receive from a civil suit.
Little-known fact: Your Mayor attempted to shop that very book, also entitled "If I Did It," but unfortunately there was no interest. Why? Because I didn't do it. Even the no-doubt-incredibly-ethical Ms. Regan and O.J. himself must concede that no one cares how someone who didn't commit a crime might have gone about it.
Question: When O.J. fills out his tax form next year, how will he describe his mode of employment? First Amendment Champion or Merchant of Death?
Question: When, in another decade or so, O.J. decides he needs a little more cash and a little more attention, will he simply re-release the book with all the hypotheticals removed?
Question that answers itself: Do you think Fox will send out screeners for review of the interview?
Another question that answers itself: So what does that say about what Fox thinks of its own actions?
Question: Who's going to run their commercials during the interview? Who'd patronize someone who ran their commercials during the interview?
Herewith, your assignment: Think of something more appalling, something that left more incredulous jaws on more floors, in the annals of Television. And no, "Date My Mom" doesn't cut it.
Comments
While the phrase "a new low" gets tossed around with some abandon, I'd say it's very appropriate here.

This is just stunning, and in so many ways. How does this animal manage to garner attention AND MONEY anymore?
I'm with you, it'll be interesting to see who advertises during this travesty. That doesn't mean I'll be watching it; that's your job.
