Reason #2,395 That Journalism In West L.A. Is Ridiculous...
My editor recently received an email that had this Lindsay Lohan picture attached:

Now, I'm not sure what's more ridiculous in this situation:
1. That a 21-year old movie star girl went to rehab for substance abuse.
2. The fact that said girl going to rehab has been covered more by the media than 1 billion more important news stories.
3. That the creator of the LOLA hat thought our paper would like to write a news story about the movie star girl wearing his hat brand on her way to rehab.
I think I want to kill myself now.
