FFS, world meeja, just quit whining about covering stories that involve a certain celebutante, will ya? Stop arguing when other journos want to put the stories through the shredder. I used to do some snarking on celebs here at Hoyden, and a while back I mostly stopped. It’s not that hard to ignore them, and it’s nice to think of other things. She and others of her ilk will disappear if we just don’t look.

From The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horrors 6: Attack of the 50 foot Eyesores
“Together: [singing] Just don’t look. Just don’t look.
[people turn away; the monsters turn to look]
Just don’t look. Just don’t look.
[more people turn away]
Just don’t look. Just don’t look.
[the monsters try to destroy things faster, but start
collapsing]”

(approx length 6.5 minutes, song approx 5 minutes in)

Bonus: video of the journo refusing to read the celebutante news report. (approx 3 mins)

Who else are we sick to death of?
