The Decline of western Civilization Part III, Paris Hilton.

After evading Law enforcement officials across the state of California wanted criminal celébutante and fashionista Paris Hilton is back behind bars.
I go out of my way to avoid celebrity gossip, the coke fiends, the break up dramas, the adoptive parents of entire third world tribes, all seem to be a very slightly more sophisticated version of the endless chatter of a high school clique.
But there is something about Paris Hilton that really gets to me. I’m not talking about gets to me like raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens. It’s more that fingernails on blackboards or vinegar on cold-sores sort of a feeling, she really is that bad. But what is it about Paris Hilton that annoys me so much ?
I certainly hope that its not just some sort of jealousy conversion reaction, whereby I slag her off but actually want her or want to be her. I think I can safely say that I don’t find Ms Hilton physically attractive and I am comfortable enough in my own skin don’t want hers.
I didn’t really expect that Hilton was going to behave in an exemplary fashion in lockup. Even just shutting up and keeping her head down would be too much for her, let alone showing some sort of individual initiative by getting a gang together and through a cunning ruse tunneling out from the exercise yard from a disguised wooden horse. But even with my very low expectations I was disgusted by her feeble and half-arsed escape attempt.
Getting out on a medical is a time honored tradition of the penitentiary. Witness the infamous Australian thug and some-what author Mark "Chopper" Read. He sliced off his own ears just to get a transfer to better accommodation, a place with more afternoon sun, where he wouldn’t get stabbed so much. ( Recent research has revealed that there is a claim that the ear cutting incident was just to win a bet, still tough though)
But Paris just cried for 2 days then got her own psychiatrist to write the Sheriff a note, it’s just pathetic, no way to get you bragging rights in the weights room.
However there is an up side, now with a bit of luck she will do the full 45 days.

But to para-phrase my old master Obi wan Kenobi

"Who is the greater fool ?, the fool or the fool who writes about her in his Blog ?"
