The Horrified Observers of Pedestrian Entertainment have protested Paris Hilton book signings and put the gears in motion to stop Britney Spears (stopbritney.com).

They will accept CDs from the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Creed, Limp Bizkit (in addition to Ashlee) and send you music from The Ramones, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell or Elvis Costello (to name a few). Saving America’s kids one bad CD at a time. hopeinamerica.com.
