Even if you do live in a cave you could no more have missed the Paris-goes-to-jail spectacle than you could have missed the OJ trial or the death of Anna Nicole (both of whom were soooo culturally important that no proper or surnames are needed).
Having a chance to catch up on my e-mail this morning I came across a couple of items that were extremely well-written; and you KNOW how I feel about the MSM (main stream media). I decided that if I was going to rail against sloppy and subjective reporting, I may as well laud the good stuff, and herewith is the first of the awards.
It’s the opener for a piece entitled Paris isn’t free -- and neither are we
“Resistance is futile. You can avert your eyes, cover your ears, change the channel and close your browser, but you can't escape the truth: Paris Hilton has become an omnipresent cultural icon, a symbol of the depravity of our times, and thanks to Friday's sobbing, O.J.-level arrest spectacle, she’s destined to remain at the forefront of that rushing flow of global news until we're all old and gray.”
If they'd have used "..flushing flow of global news ..." it would have been absolutely perfect.
