Why Paris Hilton is hated so much?

[TOW]

Thousands, millions cheered at the picture showing Paris Hilton sitting in the back of the police car in tears, first leg of the sad trip that was to take her back to jail.

Is being the spoiled brat she is sufficient motive to prompt people to cheer at her downfall, rejoice at the humiliation she underwent by being broadcast live while taken away from her home handcuffed and in tears?

What or who are people hating? Paris Hilton or the world she represents? After hearing the news, some fans screamed with displeasure, while one civil rights activist says the decision will help "restore the public confidence" in the justice system, the Associated Press reported yesterday.

Paris is exactly the contrary of what normally triggers compassion and sympathy but the so called brain-dead blonde is a human being just like you and me.

She broke the law and she's being called to pay the consequences of her actions; however the media frenzy surrounding her jail saga could have awakened the worse in each one of us, passive viewers of what public obsession could turn into a human tragedy.

Put yourself in her shoes for a short while; Paris Hilton never worked, never did anything that could justify her being famous yet she is. Famous for being famous, Paris associates the fortune of being born under the lucky star, heiress of the Hilton Empire, to the permanent attention of a celebrity-obsessed nation who doesn't care if Paris never did anything to deserve fame as long as she makes the weekly front page of a gossip magazine.

The spoiled brat is the "Frankenstein" her lucky star and found celebrity generated; she didn't ask or fight to have it, she was "built" by the Media to be who she is.

This 26-year-old young woman has edged on what life has given her to the point of believing she is invincible, above everything and everyone, even the law.

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer gave her the wake up call on Friday morning, shredding Paris Hilton's "perfect world" into pieces, showing her that what she believes, what she was brought to believe isn't true after all.

Her body shaking uncontrollably, her desperate cry for help as the Judge ordered Paris to be sent back to jail should have been sufficient punishment and lesson for this young woman.

Instead people cheered and partied just like when a tyrant is overthrown; but Paris is no tyrant, she is a mere image, a fantasy exclusively useful to tabloid and gossip magazines.

So what did we cheer about? Her individual destiny taking back at once all the goodies she had from life or what her being sent to jail stands for, that it doesn't matter how rich and famous one is, the law is the law?

I've tried to find an answer to this and hope our readers will help us better understand by casting their vote in our poll. If you wish to further elaborate please feel free to join our celebrity chat room and tell us why Paris Hilton appears to be hated so much.

As for me... I haven't come up with the answer yet but I do feel compassion for this young woman who has learned the hard way that justice isn't "blonde" after all.

re: ..."The spoiled brat is the "Frankenstein" her lucky star and found celebrity generated; she didn't ask or fight to have it, she was "built" by the Media to be who she is".

That's not true. Paris has had a publicist working 24/7 (since at least as far back as her sex tape) to get her where she is today, whether that place is a positive place or a negative place for her. Case in point: her sister Nicky, born with all the same privileges—yet she isn't hated by America. Also, Paris has put herself on a tv show where she goes around the country rolling her eyes at middle America and acts completely condescending. I don't think it's a big mystery why the country hates Paris Hilton.

The article was perfect - it explains the fact that Paris is famous for being Paris and very decent in itself. We do not hate Paris - folks just hate Paris. In terms of what I mean we hate the image, not the young woman - she had no sense of shame, no sorrow for what she had done - showed up late at Court - we hate the image of Paris. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. You may hate Microsoft - you may love Microsoft - but Bill Gates the man when you see him, comes off as one of the most proper people in the world. Gates going to jail - would be a HEADLINE!

She is 26 acting like 14 - a woman screaming to her mom that it is not fair - is a sign of an adolescent in a womans body. A child. Sad for Paris. I think we hate Paris because her family did not raise her correctly. Princess Di with all her deep secrets was loved by most folks as she acted as a lady of class and wealth. A collective wisdom arose in our souls to try and correct Paris as we would our own child. She needs to be molded into our idea of what wealth allows a person to do. Not go to an MTV award show right before going to prison.

It is a small amount of time - but I sympathise with her plight. I have been in real prison - not a County Detention Center - though there also before prison - but solitary confinement is the punishment reserved for breaking prison rules - not just for being rich and famous. Martha Stewart served her time in the General Population. 23 days in solitary is hell. I served 45 days in solitary for breaking prison rules - and it was tough - but I followed the rules better when I came out.

If the one thing I can add to this - if Paris learns solitary is not comfortable, she may follow the rules better. Tough, different, whatever. Her status almost makes solitary required. Robert Blake was held in solitary almost two years before being allowed to go home on an ankle bracelet. When found not guilty of murder he sobbed.

Seems a bit emotional to me that Paris sobs over a few days. First time she was ever corrected probably. And that is we hate Paris the image - not Paris the woman.
