Good riddance. The only "good" thing that could have come out of this, was that the Goldman family would have been able to collect some $$$ from OJ.

Knowing Fred Goldman's character, though, I'm fairly sure that he is much happier at OJ not getting this exposure.

So the advertisers were listening, to the public as well as thinking ahead, if the above is true.

No matter the reason, that dirtbag doesn't get to joke and make fun of killing his ex. Good move on pulling the plug on this travisty.
