Paris HiltonParis Hilton is a stupid ugly slut, and I’m tired of hearing about her.

I generally stay pretty well informed. My feed reader grabs AP and Reuters headlines all day long. I typically have the television on while I’m working, so breaking news can capture my attention.

However today, perhaps more than any other day in the past several months, I’m absolutely disgusted by what we call the news.

Why on earth does anyone care AT ALL about this spoiled rotten catty fugly plastic Barbie doll air-headed waste of two square feet of parking lot?

She doesn’t deserve any special consideration because of her “celebrity.” She committed a crime. The judge sentenced her to jail time. To jail she must go.

If it had been me who was caught driving under the influence, on a suspended license for the third time, there would be no question about my going to jail.

Frankly, I don’t think her sentence was long enough or harsh enough. If I had my way, a DUI conviction (depending on the circumstance, of course) would be the same as an attempted murder charge. It’s no different than firing a gun into the crowd. Just because you don’t hit anything doesn’t mean you didn’t put everyone in danger.

I think celebrity status should only be bestowed upon someone who has an extraordinary talent. Money and the inability to count to twelve without the removal of your $2200 shoes should not be able to buy you the sort of fame that should be reserved for someone truly worthy of the attention. Someone like Tom Cruise.

My outlook concerning Paris Hilton is similar to yours. I’m sure you’re happy about her sentence being enforced. I do not, however, concur with your DUI analogy. I agree that if you’re wasted, weaving, or slobbering on yourself you shouldn’t drive. I also believe our legal limits of what merits jail time are WAY too low. I wish the cops in my town would run a taxi service. If you call them, they come and get you and take you home for the cost of the gas. No hassle. It’s a public service and they spend a lot of time riding around doing nothing anyway. I’ll bet it would work to their advantage. Men in uniforms picking up drunk chicks? That has “Officer Friendly” front page scandal written all over it.

I love scandals.

Liz - Drunkenness or impairment is such a completely subjective issue that the blood alcohol test is really the only way the law could be enforced. I’m a light-weight, and I’m not a regular drinker… When my BAC is .08 I might actually BE drunk. Others (Mist 1 for instance?) probably don’t feel normal without anything less than a .1 BAC…

I do think you would quickly change your tune after you found yourself treating people who have just been involved in an alcohol-related car accident. Take a look at

A-FUCKING-MEN!!
UGH, she drives me insane…”Thats hot” *barf*.
I think she got a very light sentence, and to comment on that DUI thing…I think people who drive under the influence of anything to the extent that will impair their ability to drive a massive 2000+ lbs machine down a street should get beat with a wet bamboo stick and sentenced to jail time with the words “Easy” tattooed on their ass. My father was in a horrible accident while driving a loaded diesel truck. He was the drunk driver. I have no respect for him in any way shape or form. The End. Blah..

Killer - You’re thinking of Helen of Troy. Paris was the supposed savior. THIS Paris knows nothing of Trojans, horses or otherwise.
