    Don't Be Cruel

    First off, Salon is looking a little pathetic complaining about the coverage of a woman it regularly covers.

    Second, she is in our faces because she has been marketed by media corporations to willing consumers. Just because she's rich and fucked up doesn't mean she deserves all the blame for being a product, or for being written about in Salon.

    In fact, I consume huge quantities of real news and the only time I read about Paris Hilton, outside grocery check-out-lane-headlines, is when Salon writes about her. That means Salon, not Hilton, is most to blame for her antics coming into my life.

    This woman will never lead a real life because those around her have taken advantage of her bad instincts at a young age. Not exactly a situation in which it is “progressive” to tell her to fuck off.
