There's More Than One Way to Fling a Poo

Paris Hilton checks into Los Angeles County jail

A response to a similar article on yahoo (unedited, obviously):

paris hilton doesnt deserve to go to [profane]ing jail and all the [profane]ing asswholes who say she does u need to drop [profane]ing dead paris hilton is my role model! i loves her! and all the [profane]ing haters need to shut the [profane] up about paris hilton because u must feel real [profane]ing dumb to be making fun of someone i mean all the [profane] she did was drink and its not like she killed anyone!

I know we have this "No Child Left Behind" thing going on, but can we leave this one behind? Just this one. And I only suggest that because doctors don't generally perform abortions in the 39th trimester.

For the two or three of you who haven't seen it, this has been making its rounds and making me laugh:

You may find this surprising, but I'm actually not laughing at her misfortune. I like Paris... as a character in the public eye. When I'm bored, I turn on the TV and she entertains me. When I want to feel better about screwing around and doing nothing, I look at her and feel better about my life. She's no role model and I sure as hell don't want to meet her. I'm disappointed in those around me (young and old) who have chosen to emulate her. But I like her for the product that she is.

What I find funny is the investment that some other people seem to have in her. The video isn't making fun of Paris so much as it is the photographers, entertainment pubs, and hapless fans who really will have nothing to talk about with Paris gone for the next few weeks.

And what makes me any better for paying attention to any of this? Nothing. But please bear in mind this is the fourth day of my third Master Cleanse, I just drank a quart of salt water, and I have yet to take a shit this morning. I need to stay close to a bathroom and focus on the task at hand, and this topic didn't seem too far-fetched. Have a great day, everyone!
