Covert Action II: Lying Moneygrubbing Boogaloo

Barnes & Noble publicly reversed it's decision to not stock copies of "If I Did It" in its stores. Originally citing lack of customer demand, the chain told the AP on Thursday that it would indeed carry the book. Clearly, they underestimated the demographic of interested people who are willing to come into the store to buy the book, and banking only on interested people who were only willing to buy online.

Spokesliar Mary Ellen Keating said,"We've been monitoring the pre-orders and customer requests and have concluded that enough customers have expressed interest in buying the book to warrant stocking it in our stores. We do not intend to promote the book but we will stock it in our stores because our customers are asking for it."

Yes, requests like the one from Susie in Duluth, who would rather buy the book in person in two weeks, than order it now and have it show up in two weeks. After realizing competitor Borders was stocking instore, they were foolish not to do the same. OJ may have been black, and victims Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman may have been white, but money is still green. And watermarked. And with a tingle of red and gold and a few hints of other colors. But green too.
