Monday, June 4, 2007 - Why is this news?
Posted in Unspecified

Front page of Yahoo, this morning, we learn:

Paris Hilton showed up to serve her sentence.

Pardon me, but whoop-dee-frickin'-doo.

Lots of girls act like party trolls, don't have the good sense (or sober acuity) to remember to put their underpants on and get busted driving drunk. The only differences here are:
a) Most of them learn from the first incident and don't make a habit of it, and
b) She's Paris Hilton.

This is not news. Cousin Jailbird has made it her life's goal to behave this way and never once made the front page in spite of her three-state drunk driving record and multiple crack busts. Not even when the cops had to track her down.

So Paris had to have cereal and juice for her first meal...aaaawwww, poor baby. I guess you don't get lobster and Dom Perignon in slam. What the hell did she expect? And again - this is no different from what everyone else eats in jail, why is it news?

It never ceases to amaze and disgust me that with all of the important and tragic things going on in the world the press will choose to waste time and effort reporting on the brain-impaired behaviour of spoiled starlets.

Do most people know what happened to Rachel Corrie, or even who she was?

Sadly, no.

But let Paris Hilton or her equally brain-dead fellow party troll Lindsay Lohan fall drunkenly - and sans underwear - out of a car and puke on the sidewalk and it's 'stop the presses!'. The world must know about such highly critical happenings. We need a full page article in every newspaper in the nation with photos, because nothing says 'society babe' like facial pallor, sweaty clothes and steak tartar vomit splashed upon the camera of the nearest paparazzi, who will no doubt sue for the nonexistant 'damage' done to said camera.

Soulless, the lot of them.

Don't we have a war going on?

Oh yeah, I've just been to my Yahoo pages, and noticed the same thing. The leading question in Yahoo! Answers at that point was about the clothes that she wore when she reported to do her time, and what the latest prison fashion was... Sure is important stuff...

Her clothes?!?!

Oh for the love of...

Can't you just see the various tabloids whipping themselves into a frenzy?

"Dear lord, man, the fate of the free world hangs in the balance!! Tell me, was she wearing Gucci sandals or diamond encrusted flip-flops?!"

The world deserves to know!!

That's who Rachel Corrie was. She was advocating for peace and her life was taken because of it.

Burning a [fake] American flag while screaming who knows what at the top of your lungs in front of young children is "advocating for peace?"

So Fred Phelps and his band of buttheads are "advocating for peace," too?

No, Jason. Being willing to lie down in front of bulldozers and risk her life so that the Israelis wouldn't demolish the homes of Palestinians (which they were doing without provocation or even the effort of an investigation to be sure that innocent civilians were living there with their families instead of the people they were looking for - and they were) is advocating for peace.

As for the rest...

What was it you said in your PZ stalking blog about taking a harsh route because some people don't respond to kindness? The Israelis and the Palestinians have been at each other for a very long time. Apparently kindness isn't going to solve the problem. When innocent people's homes are being destroyed based upon suspicion and religious biases, what will get the message out other than the extreme?

As for the flag, I posted my feelings on that here:
