Did she buy it like Rupert Murdoch? Have you been commanded to watch her? If you're fed up with Paris why don't you just turn the station to something worthwhile. If everything you find worthwile is so filled with news of Paris Hilton, maybe the problem lies with you...you wouldn't be alone..and "the media" is counting on you to watch so it can sell you the wonderfull health of "corn syrup and water" and "viagra" and SUVs and...well, you get the picture...cuz it's everywhere.
As long as a non-violent, non-threatening person like Paris (or Scooter Libby or Martha Stewart or Joe Blow (especially non-white Joe Blow) is put in jail for something someone should be fined and made to do public service for, none of us are really immune from being threatened with jail...and you know why jail is unpleasant...because it is a form of torture. We keep it crappy and abusive presumably so it is a deterrent...you can see how well that works. It's the living definition of insanity.
Save your anger for stuff that matters. The media doesn't care if you like it or not...they only want to sell you stuff and have shown consistently there is nothing they wont do to keep your attention. Stop being such a dupe and soon Paris will go away. In the mean time let's start taxing the before profit revenues from these abusers of the airwaves and cable in order to pay for campaign finance..there's an issue that should make you upset but one that the Media (controlled by Paris, really?) won't even allow to be discusse on their oxygen sucking PR machine which proffers itself as news.
