Justice was served...then it wasn't...then it was again

If theres one thing I hate more in this world than people who are more rich and famous than me (which is most people), it's people who are more rich and famous than me for doing nothing. People, for example, like Paris Hilton. If there was ever a more perfect example of how you can be a famous celebrity in America for absolutely no reason whatsoever, it's Paris Hilton. I wish I could have millions upon millions of dollars, celebrity friends and thousands of admirers for no other reason than being ridiculously lucky enough to be born into the right family because thats all Paris has. There's no reason at all that anyone EVER should know who Paris Hilton is but because we live in a country where we treat celebrities like divine beings, people worship this worthless, egotistical, trampy, conceited, air headed bimbo.

But I bring this up because of the recent shenanigans thats been going on with the whole "Paris Goes To Jail" saga that's been "Breaking News" worthy stuff all around the internet. First, she went to jail and there was much rejoicing. Then, about a day later, she was mysteriously released from jail and put on house arrest and if the internet was a real place, the riot over this incident would've been so horrendous the government would've built a bridge commemorating it AND instated a national day of mourning for those lost in the tragic "Paris Riots". Luckily, however, in a rare instance where justice actually seemed to be served for once in America, Paris was ordered back to jail. And there was much rejoicing.

Now, I could go on and on wasting my time coming up with all sorts of obscure adjectives to describe not only Paris' surely disease infested body but also my own happiness that she will be out of sight and out of mind for at least a month...but instead I'll use this space to address a part of the whole situation that just didn't seem to fit. Though at first it was said that Paris was released to house arrest because of "medical conditions," which I'm sure is code for "withdrawal from all the drugs she no doubt takes," I was almost certain that couldn't have been the only reason she was released...but I just couldn't figure out what the other reason could've been.

But today it has come to light that "medical conditions" may not have been solely to blame for Paris' far too quick release from jail. It seems that Paris was released not because she was "sick" but because her billionaire grandfather, who is co-chairman of Hilton Hotels, donated a most likely ungodly sum of money to Sheriff Lee Baca's re-election campaign who then subsequently, released Paris to home arrest. This was almost just yet another sickening example of no matter what you do in America, as long as you have enough money, you can get away scott free but luckily for us, Paris is back in jail and will be staying there until the completion of her sentence.

Too bad she isn't in a regular prison for regular people and not in solitary in the medical jail where she is because now it seems that my dream of making "D-Block Does Debbie: Starring Paris Hilton" will have to wait until the next time that brainless, blonde waste of oxygen breaks the law...which, considering her level of intelligence, probably won't be too long.

Oh, and here's the article which spawned this post:
