Paris Hilton is very probably one of my least favourite people.
She represents all that is venal and superficial about people in general and celebrity in particular.
She not only delights in her shallowness and stupidity she positively revels in it making her own small fortune from her derivative line of clothes and perfumes.
It would be fair to say whilst I didn't exactly gloat when she was sentenced to forty five days in jail I wasn't actually thinking 'Poor dear, I hope she'll be alright.'
If you're caught driving drunk with a suspended license and then you violate the terms of your parole you are going to jail.
You've been given the chance to behave and then you break the rules again you are going to be punished for it.
(Of cause now I've got the words 'Paris Hilton' and 'Punishment' in the same post I'm going to get all the wrong sort of Google searches coming to this site!)
So when your friend starts an internet petition to get you off claiming that she 'She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives' you start to wonder if we just have totally lost it as a civilisation.
She HAS to be punished for this. Not because I dislike her intently but because the lesson that most people have to learn at some time or another is that when it comes your time you have to pay the piper.
Its not like she's going to be sent to Shawshank to scrub floors and share a cell with 'Big Marge' if Jeffery Archer can get through prison time in this country then she should be able to cope. . She'll be sent to a soft jail with someone paid to look after her and I wouldn't be surprised if she was kept totally separate from the general population. Her fame makes her an easy target and no one wants any harm to actually come to her.
Just tell her its a new edition of the Simple Life and follow her around with a camera crew. She'll be giving style tips and makeover to all the girls on B wing before you know it.
She may actually emerge from this experience a little bit humbler realising that she's been blessed not to have to live the life that forced the other inmates to be there.
Probably not though. Although her next perfume could be called 'Violation'.
