So long, Paris

For years we've been paralyzed in the tractor beam of her brainless celebrity. Now it's time to kiss the creepy dollie goodbye.

    Articles like this only perpetuate the Paris media saturation

    I totally agree with Traister that Paris Hilton is a mortifying symbol of young American womanhood. But Hilton feeds on any press, whether positive or not, and the nauseating phenomenon just continues. This is what she wants. When all of the media, including well-intentioned invectives written in Salon, just cease giving her attention then her popularity or notoriety (however you want to see it) should hopefully cease as well.
