I've noticed this as well. I've dealt with it by flat out banning any user or page that has nothing to do with HN. I will flat out never look at it again.

Now granted they could probably care less and I probably never would have looked anyway, but it works for me.

Across 4000-some users? What if it's Richard Branson? Isn't he a plausible user? Only way to fix this is add code to the circle compiler that checks for the G+ ID in public comment field here. That catches on virally, and the data gets cleaned. It's been done before for other HN groupings elsewhere.
Nah, I figure Richard Branson might actually have some plausible connection, he gets to stay. Paris Hilton? No.
+Paris Hilton ? Eww! Thanks for warning, I've updated the G+ post!
