So long, Paris

For years we've been paralyzed in the tractor beam of her brainless celebrity. Now it's time to kiss the creepy dollie goodbye.

The letters thread is now closed.

The Wrong Blonde Bimbo Millionaire Died

As Anna Nicole lies "a' mouldering" in a morgue cooler, one can only regret that it's not Paris Hilton instead.

Compared to the Parisite, Anna was a classy girl; a rags-to-riches fairy tale that showed if you work hard, redo your hair and breasts, and practice a trade that places you into contact, a rich guy may marry you and give you all his money. (Heck, it's "Pretty Woman" with the white night riding a Rascal scooter instead of a steed.) Anna seemed to be willing to do anything for love and money, but fell victim to the abuses that so often comes with instantaneous wealth.

Paris, on the other hand, seems only willing to maintain the thrill of upper-class substance abuse, since money is of no more concern than air is to the rest of us--it's just there, so breathe deep, right?

What is most difficult to understand is how the addiction to her lifestyle can be so pervasive as to completely take over a life. Can there be anything less satisfying than to be a walking, talking Barbie doll at someone else's party? Surely she must understand that even if the cash never runs out, the public interest will. And she'll wake up one day and realize that her life is incredibly short, and she didn't accomplish anything except be the butt of a long, dirty joke. Unless, like Anna Nicole, she doesn't wake up one day at all.

It's sad that someone with the wherewithal to be accomplished chooses to be banal and inconsequential. One reader pointed out the similar celebrity excesses of Keith Moon of The Who, but Moon actually performed as part of the superstar band for years, not just hung out as a rowdy tour groupie because he had enough money to get invited to all the parties.

But for now, I think the world would be better off if Anna Nicole was still breathing and Paris Hilton was getting the media coverage she deserves - an overly-publicized and high-fashion funeral.

LeCastor, you are a dick.

Bitch, please. You are no better than I am, calling me a lard ass, accusing me of making pre-conceptions about Europeans, blah blah blah.

First of all, I do read about European history and Asian history on the Internet. I am perfectly capable of doing research using my Internet connection, but I wasn't talking about an Internet connection. You mentioned libraries as one of the ways us lard asses can educate ourselves about the world, and my response was specific to libraries.

Whether you like it or not, many Europeans do have a very negative view of Americans (as evidenced by your lard ass comments; as if you're any thinner. I've seen plenty of European fatasses too, probably due to the amount of fast food joints that keep popping up over there - fast food joints that you bastards keep bitching about, yet still feel compelled to eat at). Many Europeans also view us as ridiculously wealthy and spoiled.

Yes, I am probably wealthier than a lot of people in the world. Well, that's because I work. As for the Parisite, showing up to some stupid party, pretending to act in a film, hiring someone to ghost-write a book for her and laying down wooden vocals in a studio might technically be work, but it's not hard work, and it doesn't impress me or anyone else who actually works hard for a living.

So if we all have the freedom to call each other names, make judgements about people's lives, then what the fuck are you complaining about? Your acknowledgement basically eradicates the reason for a good portion of your stupid, ill-informed, heavily biased posts. You're sitting there, living in a country you obviously cannot stand - it's funny how you Europeans feel it's okay to not only bitch about how spoiled we are, how fat we are, how ignorant we are, how horrible and evil our government supposedly is - in short, call us the Evil Empire, yet you continue to remain here, remain a citizen, keep paying taxes to feed the Evil Empire. If this nation and its people are so fucking horrible, why stay here? Why not go back to your damn country with all your skinny friends and stupid socialist, enabling government? God forbid you asshole socialists WORK.

I hate you people so much. I am really sick and tired of the asshole European (especially those dipshit French, I especially hate them, and YES, I know that Europe is made up of different countries) being condescending to me -

You know what? You're probably LYING about being a citizen of the US. You are such a piece of shit. I am done with this. Go jerk off to another Paris picture, you blood belching vagina. I am right and you are wrong, and that's all there is to it.

Can't talk to a Paris fanbitch as if they're a normal human being, because it's quite obvious that they aren't.

paris hilton

I think that Paris Hilton should be made to understand that DUI is a serious offense and that worst case scenario , people can get hurt or killed because of that behavior .

But she's not a repeat offender , a habitual criminal but rather , a spoiled rich kid who likes to party to excess .

I believe community service and an alcohol education program would've sufficed and that the public's bloodlust is over the line . What are we talking about here ? A spoiled rich girl people love to hate , not a criminal .
