The Associated Press took a stand. They decided to do an experiment. For one week they attempted to ban all news about Paris Hilton. Well the ban ended last week when Paris got ticketed for driving with a suspended license. This was not breaking news by any means,but it meant a lot for the Associated Press. The ban was over, they broke when they wrote a 3oo word article about the incident. They wanted to see how long the ban would last, the intention was to only do it for a week but they did not even make it that long. They were trying to take a stand. There is so much going on in the world but some people are more interested in celebrity news, with stories of Paris being at the top. I admit it is a lot more fun to read stupid crazy stories about other people than it is t hear about people dying or the weather. It is American pop culture and it is fascinating, you can't help but get hooked. Time to go read UsWeekly. LOL!!!
