At 12:32 today the Associated Press attempted an act of social alchemy : they tried to make Paris Hilton gossip go away. Seriously.
This item ran over the AP broadcast wire to radio and tv stations:
Stations: KILL the following cuts fed on the 12:32 P.M.
11-13-07-take 1 network feed:
Cut 233, 234 and 235
A publicist for Paris Hilton says Hilton never made any comments
about helping drunken elephants in India.
A kill is mandatory. Make certain this material is not aired.
A sub will not be filed.
AP Broadcast News Center
Way to go AP; keeping those mainstream media clients in line!
Meanwhile, over in the Blogosphere Technorati reports 1,976 blog posts on "Paris Hilton" AND "Elephant."
So either its a bogus rumor, or its goofy, true and real... in which case the news is more about silly publicists and the power they yield. As in, "Kill the following: A publicist for Paris Hilton says Hilton never made any comments about helping drunken elephants in India."
Remember the old saw about you cant make this stuff up?
The world can only take so much of Paris Hilton. I remember just a couple of months back when it seemed like Paris' jail sentence was everyone's problem. Almost all forms of media were covering the whole thing. It makes one wonder why news about the environment or other such issues don't get the same publicity as one heiress. Would the world actually change if Paris decides to take on an important issue?
