...why the letters section here often resembles a lynch mob.
What really happened with Paris Hilton? Nothing. Certainly nothing worth writing about, and yet Salon writes this:
"Let's just pray that those bad prison sheets scratch her tender white ass enough to get her out of our faces for good."
This sounds awfully familiar.
If you don't want Paris Hilton in your face, it's possible to avoid that. If more people did, it would probably help her far more than any editorial snark ever will. Mostly what the publicity has done is encourage her to develop in a truly destructive way. Salon has just added to that publicity, and in a way that reminds me of nothing so much as Ben Dover's tirades. Why? What actual good does this do?
None whatsoever. It's just fun to savage the fallen.
