Paris is burning

| | Comments (2)

So it’s come to this: A news organization has made news for making the bold decision not to cover news that isn’t news at all, which is to say: anything concerning Paris Hilton.

The Associated Press does plan, however, to report a story in the future on “the repercussions of our blackout for AP both editorially and business-wise, and most importantly the forces that cause the world to be fixated on this person who, despite her shallow frivolity, represents an epochal development in our culture.”

Lest you fear you’ll be utterly deprived of future editions of the Paris Review, exceptions will be made in case of “major, major news.” So Hilton’s going to have to step up her game and start prepping for an overdose STAT.

That, or you can still follow her antics via the thousands of other media outlets who just can’t help themselves.

* UPDATE: Uh-oh, looks like the AP is already going to have to break its embargo on all things Hilton: Paris doing time in the slammer probably qualifies as "major, major news."

If Paris is burning again, I'll bet it's in her crotch. Which, of course, is hot news on its own, thereby continuing the circle of skank.
