On the subject of Paris Hilton, I give her credit for (seemingly) turning things around. I can't think of one dumb thing (or person, hur hur) she's done since the whole prison thing.

Less to do with bitterness and jealousy and more "The crumbling of an empire, global economic repercussions, every, single, Hilton being shut down" fascination. It'd be like watching the Tower of Babel crumble except more spread out. A crane falling over. A cement truck being blown into pieces with dynamite. Watching big things go bust has inherent entertainment/interest value.

watching lives get ruined? Not just the Hiltons but ALL of their employees?

I can understand wanting to watch as something goes down in flames, but wishing for it, that's a bit much.

There is something visceral and darkly pleasing in seeing things go horribly wrong. It's a part of human nature we bury because it's not socially acceptable. I can see Robby's viewpoint.

I think in that vein though, I'd prefer to see her jumped by a bunch of psychotic beauticians and be given a back-alley beauty treatment. No, really - she should come out with three breasts, sagging skin, two holes where her nose used to be, a forked tongue, and cat's eyes.

That'd be awesome. We could give her hit points and an experience point value.

60 minutes of Paris Hilton alternately pointing and laughing at each of them, punctuated by commercials?
