paris in hell-ton
sometimes the american justice system impresses me.
and the news the came buzzing out off the wires is a clear evidence that the system does not discriminate.
at least, that was how i interpeted it.
yep.
paris hilton was sentenced to 45 days behind bars just for merely
trying to get above the law. (the accompanying news article from yahoo would feed you the whole story, i'm merely reacting). ineptitude is forgivable, but neglect is something else. it is the irresponsibility to know where you're at, and the fact that she was clearly aware of what she was doing- - -and doing it again- - -is perhaps the concrete reason why she deserves getting locked up.
that small thing alone (that socialites are, indeed, should be in the same boat as normal people) is a caveat that is certainly lacking in the Philippine judicial system (money is the perfect tunnel to escape prosecution, they say). the analogy is inappropriate, but I had my point (was just waylaided, anyway).
somehow I could not fathom the constant idea why people adore Paris Hilton. she is not a success story to begin with (born to rich parents is tantamount to success?
puh-leeaze!). to her, being successful is seeing her sorry ass on covers of magazines, hounded by the paparazzi and getting creamed by Rick Salomon. she is not a role model for the young (the way Lindsay Lohan wasted her adolescence on booze shares the similar derision i have to both of them)- - -having her own sex tape to harvest certain notoriety is undoubtedly lightyears away within the circumference of being a role model- - -as opposed to what she claims she is. the only thing that harbors Paris Hilton is the adamantly superior ego who thinks that being and becoming Paris Hilton is a big accomplishment (well, in some way, being Paris Hilton as the heir to a million-dollar company is certainly a huge reality to accentuate).
at some point in the article, i began to pity her. not because she's going to prison. celebrities and prisons are on the same highway named
route to popularity. it is that tricky chicane that you have to be extremely cautious to force a turn or you'd be turtling down towards a
could-be avoidable obstacle. Paris Hilton was probably mismanaged by the people around her, that in an early part of her life, she commenced on a merciless downward spiral.
but. that was the package she has/had to accept. the law does not discriminate as I had mentioned earlier. no one is above or is the law.
only
judge dredd is.
