Messed up but it's Hollywood.

Try hard not to taint my blog with the fiasco about Paris Hilton. But this latest news seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

(Digression: Hmmm... something mighty interesting I found at that site, different language equivalents to that proverb. Check them out:

• French equivalent : la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase, meaning the drop of water that makes the glass overflow.
• German equivalent : Der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt, meaning the drop that makes the barrel overflow.
• Dutch equivalaent : De druppel die de emmer doet overlopen, meaning the drop that makes the bucket overflow.
• Spanish equivalent : La gota que colmó el vaso, meaning the drop that spills over the glass.
• Italian equivalent : La goccia che fa traboccare il vaso, meaning the drop of water that makes the glass overflow.
• Romanian equivalent : Picătura care a umplut paharul, meaning the drop that filled the glass.

Those are just some of the proverb equivalents provided by Wikipedia. Something to consider in the future.. Digression end.)

So what is this news you ask?
It is this:

Paris Hilton released from LA jail early

Now where is the justice in that? I know that celebrities get off easy all the time and you're wondering why I chose to highlight it now. Well it's because this Paris Hilton thing is publicized enough till that almost everyone knows about it.
So the reason cited for the early release is: "an unspecified medical problem". Gone are the good ol' days of good behaviour?? Guess that doesn't make good Hollywood scripts anymore. :p
Anywayz, the messed up part is that she finishes off her sentence in, get this, "home confinement". If her house is equivalent to her social status, most people won't mind being confined in her house. *But... too much of a good thing can be dangerous too.*

Quote from article:
"The 26-year-old hotel heiress was sent home shortly after 2 a.m. wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet..." a.k.a. her new bling.

So what's your opinion on this?

Another injustice article:

Jail for reckless driver

Quote from article:
"A screen and media graduate whose car veered from a main road and ploughed into several diners outside a restaurant here four years ago, killing a sales promoter and paralysing another woman, has been sentenced to two years’ jail and fined RM8,000."
*Such a light-weight sentence.*

Now what do you think about that news?
