Letters to the Editor

Let's see ...
Are we supposed to be offended that Anniston's angst over her breakup has followed pretty much the pattern that anyone else's, other than that it has been unwrapped for us in national magazines. How crafty of her and her "master publicist" ... how positively riveting for Salon to deconstruct it ... But it does seem to me to be much easier to apply Occam's Razor, look for the simplest explanation. She's really famous and probably pretty normal, by Hollywood standards; so we get fed, ad infinitum, the same story we'd get if it was an actual girl friend who went through a break-up, only it's entirely vicarious and hurts less. Tastes great, less filling, etc. The whole story could be done in a 30-second commercial ... and despite the media, writing this letter has taken more of my time than I've spent paying attention to Anniston in 2005.
