Paris isn't free -- and neither are we

Paris Hilton's strange celebrity hits a new nadir after Friday's chaotic perp walk. Will we ever be free from her now?

    You know what would REALLY suck? If Hilton killed herself after what you wrote.

    I have no doubt that Paris Hilton deserves her prison sentence for endangering others' lives by driving drunk and on a suspended license, and that her emotional "thin skin" is a result of her being coddled endlessly by her vapid family. Assuming she actually survives her prison excursion, she will probably be a better person because of it.

    But I cannot help feel a twinge of sympathy for a woman who was told that she was being released from jail, albeit provisionally, only to be sent right back in without having done anything else wrong.

    It is kind of hard to laugh at a person like that- at least while they are enduring the experience. Your article does so.

    "All we can do is pray that one day, Paris Hilton will show mercy on us all, and go away."

    Are you attempting to goad her into committing suicide?
