    Just. Stop. Now.

    I'm not sure what's worse, the endless coverage of this imbecilic woman, or the endless articles about why right-thinking people are/should be sick of her. And Salon, despite the quasi-lofty tone of this particular piece, is no better than E! Television and the rest of 'em in terms of feeding this particularly well-groomed beast.

    If you're really, truly tired of her, Salon, stop the coverage. And stop it now. PR 101: Publicity, good or bad, elongates the news cycle. When the attention stops being paid, these people tend to go away. As a case in point, we don't hear too much about Anna Nicole these days, now do we?
