Paris Hilton? Who Cares? Enough, I say, Enough!

Poor Paris (there is a combination of words not normally used).

A mean judge sentenced her to jail for breaking her parole not once but twice. Imagine being held accountable for her actions.

Then a nice sheriff let her out of jail and said she could spend her time under house arrest. In this case the house being a sprawling mansion in the Hollywood Hills.

Sure, her plastic ankle bracelet won’t allow her to go any further than 4,000 feet (which is probably the size of one room in her house) from her home, but she’ll certainly be enjoying all the comforts of a privileged home for the next 40 days. She can wash down her “medications” with a swig of Cristal if she likes; use her cell phone to check on the progress of her on again/off again bud Lindsay Lohan, who’s rehabbing down in Malibu; watch herself partying on “Entertainment Tonight” on a 50-inch plasma screen; or stick one leg in her pool and have catered meals.

Then the mean judge ordered her back to court because he wasn't happy.

Paris and her lawyers tried to 'call it in'.

The mean judge said no way and sent the sheriff's car to pick her up and drag her in.

Paris' lawyers never did provide the judge with any medical evidence about her alleged condition which would be made far worse by being in jail (isn't a broken nail considered to be a 'condition' any more? GASP A broken nail without a file to smooth it is like, a real crisis, you know?)

Paris is back in jail. The rest of the world can continue living lives.

What is this fascination people have with Paris Hilton? It really was nonstop - Paris going to court, Paris calling it in, Paris breaking down screaming and shaking. ARGH

How about that judge though? Now there is a judge I like! LOL

Paris has no talent for anything, she isn't attractive, and she seems as bright as a burned out light bulb. Yet acres of trees are chopped down to make the newspaper which blather on about her, thousands of dollars are spent tracking her every move, and altogether too much time is spent discussing her every action.

Don't people know that there are some real problems in our world which should engage folk in legitimate discussion? Or how about chattering about people who make a difference in our world and have some real talent; true heroes.

Oh my - yesterday Paris issued this press release (does she have an agent in jail with her?):

Hilton added she was "shocked" by the attention her case has received and suggested the public and media focus on "more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq."

Now, I'm not naive enough to not see the blatant ploy for public support there, but the sentiment is spot on. If a dim bulb like Paris (or in this case her handlers) 'get it' that there are some significant problems in the world which really are worthy of discourse, what is wrong with the rest of us?

There. I have ranted. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Basta!
Enough of Paris and her pitiful existance.

Now, if she sees a picture of your burger she really will be tortured! Yummy~

She probably hasn't consumed a calorie since 2005! She doesn't know what she is missing. . . .

Do give them a try - they are simple but amazingly flavourful!

Spot on!

I was loathe to give this one any more 'air time' but you know how it is - you get yourself all worked up into a rant and just can't keep it inside! LOL
