EDITOR’S NOTE: Evening Sun reporters love to argue. The sides taken in this argument were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect the true opinions of the authors. This week, Tyler Murphy and Jeff Genung discuss the denouement of the Paris Hilton saga.
Paris Hilton has been set free from her luxury cell and allowed to serve the rest of her time under house arrest, or as I like to call it “mansion arrest.”
Hey, when you’re the spoiled rich kid of a ba-zillonaire, why should you have to spend time in jail for something as ridiculous as drunk driving and probation violation? Besides it’s only fair with her medical condition (apparently she had a hard time adjusting to the prison food), so how could we keep a clear conscience and force that poor girl to suffer? We wouldn’t want her developing an eating disorder or anything ... uh ... again.
Anyway, think of the bigger picture – with poor Paris behind bars it would undoubtedly hinder her ability to be a role model for our teenagers, just like she said before she went in, “I bring excitement to otherwise mundane or boring lives.” Obviously, she was talking about us. So as you can see, a fair justice system is a small price to pay in order to show our younger generation that all that matters is the almighty dollar. – TDM
