Poor, poor Paris Hilton

I don't either, and I don't really much care, but it manages to intrude on my day. A friend on LJ was commenting how little fuss this things seemed to be creating and I wonder how isolated one would have to be to feel there has been an under reaction.

If she was treated worse (getting a long sentence) because of her celebrity then I suppose it is fair for her to later be treated better (getting shipped to house arrest). The end result seems to be that she was in jail for about the average length of time a non-celebrity would have been for similar infractions.

And if being a celebrity (for whatever douche bag reason) means you get harsher punishment for committing crimes just so you can be an example then they do deserve the otherwise unearned abuses of the system they take.
