Asylum.com has started a Megan Fox media blackout in response to the young star's recent overexposure. The Transformers star (last seen accidentally dissing a young fan and then publicly apologizing) had been plastered across magazines, entertainment pages, and who knows how many blogs all summer long, and lad mags 'round the globe have had enough. Which is strange if you think about it.

A Day without Megan Fox will take place on August 4. So, on that day, you're not supposed to mention [REDACTED] in any news article. We'll see which sites can make it for the whole day, and which will succumb to shameless pandering.

"You can have too much of a good thing," AskMen.com's editor-in-chief James Bassill tells the New York Daily News. "We're joining in the media blackout and giving our readers a one-day reprieve from the woman we've been drowning in all summer."

This may also give another pretty young thing that once-in-a-lifetime chance to get a foot in the mass-media door. Or, indeed, any other female who has not perhaps gotten the media attention she deserves.

Also participating: AskMen, Boobie Blog, Whip It Out Comedy, Banned in Hollywood, Double Viking, On205th, I Heart Chaos, Yep Yep, Just a Guy Thing, The Bachelor Guy, and Asylum UK, Australia, France and Germany.
