There is H.O.P.E.

Note to Paris Hilton.
I learned recently of a group called H.O.P.E., Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment. They demonstrate in front of appearances by questionably talented but unreasonably famous people (e.g. Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson) and hold up signs like the one pictured. I saw a photo of one gentlemen at Paris' book signing holding a sign that said, "Read a Book, Don't Write One." Come on. That's some funny shit.

Want to particpate? Check out this petition to Ashlee Simpson's record company to make her stop singing. Funnily enough, some of her supporters and fans signed the petition as well, "just to get their voice heard that some people still support her talent." Just goes to show the intelligence quotient of a person who claims to support a pop star by signing a petition to stop her from singing. Huh? Yeah, why don't you read a book as well, sweetie. Books. Check 'em out.
