Jules Crittenden has a good post up about Paris Hilton. Jules writes:
I feel bad for her. How can you look at anyone piteously sobbing on her way to jail and not feel bad for her, when her crime is not sticking a knife in someone, raping someone’s grandmother, holding anyone up at gunpoint or stealing their life’s savings, but essentially failing to figure out that the rules apply to her.
That is exactly how I feel about it as well. I actually feel bad for Paris, I’ve got to admit it.
To her parents: j’accuse!.
This young woman was raised with the idea that the rules do not apply to her. This girl was raised with the idea that money can buy everything. This girl (she’s older than me, but she’s not a woman) was raised with the idea that there is nothing wrong with being stupid and ignorant.
The Media love her. They fall all over themselves making photos of her, trying to get her to say a few words, etc. When she goes somewhere, young girls, escorted by their parents, run up to her, trying to get her signature.
For what? What did she accomplish? What great things did she do (except for starring in a couple of hot videos)?
The answer is, of course, nothing. She accomplished absolutely nothing. I quoted Comments from Left Field recently about this matter:
To me, the greatest sin of Paris is that she contributes nothing. She is part of the new vogue to be willingly ignorant. She embodies cool dumbness as easily as she does irresponsibility and gets away with it time and again, and while we sadly chuckle her off and shake our heads, our daughters are learning.
Okay, rant over.
I’m thinking… Pussy(cat) behind bars?
