Our Jennifer fixation

We've seen her laugh, we've seen her cry. We've seen her almost-exposed breast. Will we ever get enough of Jennifer Aniston?

    Not all subscribers object...

    I've been a subscriber to Salon for several years and will continue to be so even if they occasionally include content that I'm not interested in. Would be kind of difficult to tailor every feature story to the needs of a very eclectic readership. As a photographer working in the entertainment industry for example, the occasional article about celebrities and their "fluff" has as much relevance to me as political essays have to those of you who earn your living in careers that are heavily influenced by what's going on politically.

    Hollywood and its players generate an extreme amount of revenue in our culture and I think that makes an article about Ms. Aniston at least somewhat newsworthy considering how much cash her name and face have generated this year for a lot of people. It's a cultural phenomenon that I think is worth exploring and I personally have no problem with it being done here on Salon because it's part of a bigger picture that Salon does a great job of covering.

    Not for the world would I consider canceling my subscription to Salon because it occasionally features columns and/or essays about things I'm not interested in. If something doesn't interest me I don't click on it.
