]]> Comment on The Paris Bandwagon by Cherie http://activnet.org/blog/2007/06/08/the-paris-bandwagon/#comment-5748 Cherie Wed, 20 Jun 2007 05:57:29 +0000 http://activnet.org/blog/2007/06/08/the-paris-bandwagon/#comment-5748 I agree with Nikki and Cindy the way that this entire Paris Hilton thing has spiraled out of control is a little disgusting. Celebrities should not be put above the law just because they are in the public eye and have money, unfortunately it does and will continue to happen. She said that she was afraid for her life and complained about a rash after only 3 days of being inside. So what, women with less money and no book deal to live on once they've gotten out have all these things and more to fear when they go to jail. Once Paris is out she will have even more money because of the book she is writting while inside. America should have the same laws as Australia. Criminals should not be allowed to profit from there crimes. I agree with Nikki and Cindy the way that this entire Paris Hilton thing has spiraled out of control is a little disgusting.

I don't think I've picked up a magazine for the past year that hasnt had her antics sprawled across the front page, and now with the dramas surrounding her clash with the law it's all just getting a bit much considering she is famous for absolutely no reason. Upon googling Paris in Jail I found the number one link was 'Iam4Paris' which is a webpage devoted to selling "Free Paris" wristbands. Their slogan being: Together, we can make a difference by raising awareness of how Paris has been unfairly singled out by the media and legal system. Seriously? What's unfair is her release after her whinging that she had a rash...after 3 DAYS! What would be better punishment is to put her in the life of the average woman her age, without the credit cards and social life and maybe lump a few kids on her. That would really be the simple life, yet if they made a Television show about it people would still watch because its Paris Hilton. WHY? What is this obsession with her? a spoilt rich kid with far too much time on her hands who is putting none of it to good use. I'm sure with the money she spends on iced mocha frappacinos we could save the rainforests in brazil or prevent the extinction of giant pandas. If she put as much effort into making people aware of global warming as she put into socialising then there would be no hole in the ozone layer. What I'm trying to say is do we really need to be focusing such attention on Paris Hilton? I'm CERTAIN there are more important things we could be thinking about... Peace out!

Especially as it seems to get passed every trick you come up with the foil it. I now get it arising from any kind of input field on sites. Recently it started coming through the broken link submissions on one of my directories! It’s driving everyone nuts. Especially as it seems to get passed every trick you come up with the foil it.

Thugs pretty much sums it up. But to say that the flag has been hijacked suggests that its been stolen. Last time I looked it was still flying free. Maybe it is the people who are hostage & not the flag? Not sure what needs to be said about them. Thugs pretty much sums it up.
