O.J. Publisher fired

So, Judith Regan has been fired.

A month after announcing she green-lighted Old J. Simpson's attempt to cash in on killing his wife, Harper Collins has red-lighted her career.

Regan has made a career out of sensationalism. Publishing books from Jose Canseco, Jenna Jameson and other bastions of role models, Regan has long lived by the mantra of 'controversy creates cash.' Her actions have allowed many to make millions for being a scuzzball.

Evidently, even America has had enough. After glorifying such snots such as Paris Hilton, Terrell Owens and Kevin Federline (ok, maybe not), even a society who is more concerned with the zany shenanigans of celebrities than genocide in the Middle East has finally found something that disgusts them.

Harper Collins gave no reason for the dismissal but I'm sure it had something to do with potential boycotts (read: 'loss of profits') which had put Harper Collins in the same neighborhood as Fox News Corp. and World Wrestling Entertainment.

Of course, unlike the WWE, the deceased person Harper Collins almost profited from wasn't their own employee.

So, kudos to you, Harper Collins for telling Old J. that you will not be a part of him profiting of his crimes.
