What the hell is wrong with this country? (...well amongst other things)


No seriously, what the hell is going on? In what realm of reality does it make sense to sentence a kid who hacked the telephone of a woman, who has not one but several self made and self promoted pornographic movies on the internet, to eleven months in prison when Ray Lewis and Suge Knight serve less time combind for KILLING people? The Empire was perfectly content working today but when this little gem of news came by we could not handle standing silent.

Now, it is no secret that The Empire sees Paris Hilton as the fulcrum of pure evil in the universe and the reason for all suffering and destruction on this planet but that isn't the point. The point is; our legal system may be flawed but most of the time it has its feet located somewhere relatively close to the ground. But this is nuts! 11 months? For a prank?

All this says is, "Hey world, we'll put up with violence, drugs, and rape in our streets, greed, corruption, gross misconduct, and violations of all things trustworthy in our businesses and government posts but DON'T YOU DARE mess around with the banal minutiae of a spoiled, talentless, slutty, social cancer like Paris Hilton," to put it lightly.

It just doesn't make any sense. Frankly, social commentary on this subject only furthers the spread of the poison that this kind of "news" creates so perhaps I should quit while I'm ahead. And by ahead I mean I haven't gotten so worked up and angry that the pulsing vein on my forehead pops and kills me by gushing vital oxygenated blood on my keyboard. The Empire wishes this kid the best of luck in prison and sincerely hopes he's not corn-holed on the first night.
