history has proven not necessarily...

You also can't say things like "We're dancing like a couple of niggers!" without being called a racist. Fucking America and its out-of-control PC gestapo!

i just think that the whole point of capitalism is that if you have earned the money you should be able to spend it on the best, and if the 'best' was just incompetent, then fair enough, paris should have spent more energy on getting a better legal team, but if the 'best' was interfered with, or the judges or whatever, then it makes a mockery of the whole thing

and more into their own lives, they might have achieved some of the success paris has

if you have earned the money you should be able to spend it on the best

Paris hasn't acheived or earned anything! she inherited it! If she had to start from the ground up and then became a rich celebrity(?) will that would be a different story.

― Ms Misery, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

well you could say that about a lot of our countries finest! they have simply taken advantage of the opportunites that came their way.

at the end of the day if she can buy good houses and good cars she should be able to buy good justice otherwise what is the point in being rich?

Now I know you're being sarcastic.

where is that free paris party lex? im not sure if its even the same one as i am going to!!

i do find it annoying when they say people arent interested in political matters anymore. granted, we may be more interested in single-issue politics, but, make no mistake, this is political too. even a cursory reading of Foucault should have told us that

― 696, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:24 (nineteen years ago)

The world is not being done a great injustice b/c a socialite will spend a few weeks in jail due to her own stupidity.

it's a slippery slope

I'm one of the billions of people who looks to the rich and ~~talent~~ ~~prett~~ ~~artis~~ rich for guidance, and her not going to jail would only make me want to break the law too.

Is it true The Lex is teaming up with Jerry Dammers to release The Special L.E.X to bring out the single Free Paris Hilton?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

it is absolutely true, and i dont want to come over all nude spock, but are NONE of you guys suspicious about this, that her legal team wasnt intefered with somehow. for someone of her position to be doing jail time for this. no, something weird going on there

Dude, I have no problem with people having money (and spending it) but she's just an annoying stupid vapid arrogant bitch. She thinks she's above everyone else (because she weighs less, she's prettier, she's richer,...). I don't really hate her, that would require some emotion that I don't want to spend on her. But to say she doesn't deserve to go to prison? Come on, her license was revoked! She tried to shove the blame on Munitz, that didn't work,... It's only 45 days! Some people are condemned to a life of poverty. This is like 45 days! It's nothing!

And what exactly did she achieve? Notoriety because of some sex tapes. Yeah, very admirable.

Not really. If we are to be believed she works hard for the money. See "One Night in Paris"

― nathalie, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:49 (nineteen years ago)

i only just heard about this.

i think she should go to prison - it will be character building.

― blueski, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

im pretty sure its going to make her much more famous and a little bit richer.

― sunny successor, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

they should make her do a lot of community service. maybe they could film her doing it, make a TV show out of it?

― blueski, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

That'd would require a bit of cellphone throwing.

of course single-issue politics is political. but it's still single-issue politics, and some issues are less important than others. even a cursory reading of one of the many critiques of foucault should have told us that he's a fuckwit who was, politically speaking, an active enemy of the left.

Paris Hilton is just trash. Just plain trash. And poison of our culture. We should not know anything about her and we should not see anything about her. It's all trash because of people like Hilton and people who worship her like a God of trash for the mind.

Wasn't Foulcult a communist? This is degrading.

why do people think paris is trashy? i don't know really know how i feel about the phenomenon of her, but i'm curious as to why she inspires such anger in people. it's not only dislike it's like being offended because of her or something. i find it kindof odd.

― Surmounter, Thursday, 10 May 2007 00:23 (nineteen years ago)

Haha here's the do-it-yourself "ILX shocker" kit. You will need:

- idea of societies having elaborate cultural systems about what's considered ideal, upstanding, "classy" behavior and what's considered "trashy," "low-class," "dirty," or "slutty"

- the preposition "in"

- the word "SHOCKER"

1. Insert preposition into idea
2. Add SHOCKER at end
3. Post/serve

Ok but serious explanation: Paris has loads of money and could presumably do just about anything she felt like doing, including living up to received wisdom about "glamorous" wealthy people, and yet she'd appear to spend most of her time partying, doing drugs, taking pictures of her tits, running into problems with the law, etc. -- passtimes usually associated with ordinary poorer people without much opportunity in their lives, and passtimes the average lower-middle-income American tends to be wary of as "trashy" and antithetical to his/her aspirations toward wealth and glamour. Paris throws herself kinda whole-heartedly into the kind of skeezy fun the average American enjoys but tries to shy away from as a total sinkhole to self-betterment, etc.

So some can look at her as some kind of hero of the people, but c'mon right, like we're happy with that kind of class dynamic: more often she allows people a chance to opine that "money can't buy class," and that even though they're not wealthy or "glamorous" like she is, they're better than her, because she's vapid or dirty or skanky, whereas they aspire to learning and self-respect and self-betterment and whatnot.

It's not really a complicated dynamic, I don't think. People who don't have lots of money care about their behavior reflecting upright social standing and "class" -- both for social reasons and because if they tried to live like Paris, they'd actually fuck up their lives. Paris, being incredibly wealthy, doesn't have to care about those things. (I don't know if her family didn't bother raising her with any "you are a HILTON, you must have standards" pressure, or if they applied too much of it and it just backfired like nuts.)
