The only way that Paris Hilton will go away is if the media stops writing about her. The reason I have subscribed to Salon for all these years is because I want to read about things that matter. I want to read about people who matter. I don't subscribe in order to read the same crap that I can find on Perez Hilton's blog or TMZ or one of the seemingly thousands of websites devoted to the worship of empty celebrities.
Unfortunately, like every other third rate blog, tabloid, entertainment news show and all the other tools out there that work so hard at distracting people from issues that are actually important, Salon can't resist jumping on the slowest moving bandwagon and devoting an article a day to this totally irrelevent person. The bulk of the American population has turned into junkies, Paris Hilton is the most powerful drug since crack cocaine and the Catholic church, and the media has become nothing more than the archetypical drug dealer hanging out in front of elementary schools.
