Throw the Book at OJ December 19, 2006 - by Ian Bogost The Game Show Network, who previously brought us a Mel Gibson newsgame, has created a new one lampooning the recent ill-fated O.J. Simpson book. Throw the Book at O.J. is a simple target shooting game in which the player throws books at O.J.'s head. Meanwhile, Simpson throws footballs at the player. Comment from Patrick Dugan on December 20, 2006
I love the sportscenter music in the background. Too bad they canned the book, it sounds like a riveting read. POST A COMMENT
