Poor, poor Paris Hilton

[€uroMeinke]

I'm fascinated by the spectacle of Paris Hilton and Celebrity in general. We seem to love to see stars fall, as if their lives play out some morality tail proving Karma, God, or Justice. Which is probably why this one bothers us - that money, fame, position upset our own American mythology of a just free society.

We want to protect our privacy, and become annoyed with government entities that actually protect them of celebrities. We think the worse of whatever medical condition exists, certain it's bogus, or scandalous, or both, and wonder why they just don't tell us about their irritable bowls, so we can pass judgement ourselves.

Anyway, I'm just more fascinated about what this "news" and "reaction" say about us as opposed to Paris Hilton.
