Remember How E! Online Totally Stole Beet’s Idea?

E! Online came up with the completely unoriginal idea to conduct a poll to see if they should ban news stories regarding a certain couple from their website.  Beet made that call last year, but whatever.

Anyway, the poll results are in and a resounding 94% voted in favor of no more news about them.  Of course, network executive Suzanne Kolb isn’t willing to draw the line at not reporting about them unless they die.  “If her album went to No. 1, that would be a newsworthy thing. If they were to become parents, we’d see that as worth noting. If something did happen to them, physically, we’d probably cover that.  But ultimately, we were looking at it more like avoiding stories about them walking down Robertson or going to dinner.  It will affect the various news shows on E! and it will affect online.”

Okay, this is starting to feel like a real movement.  Who can we petition next to join the Anti-Speidi Coalition?
