    A nice unexpected rise and climax to the story. I am just impressed that this is the first post of the release.

    You know the old saying... "You do the crime, you do the time..."

    This is now being modified for the hilton case... "You do the crime, you have to do the judge and the warden, or you'll have to do the time..."

    :lol:

    3 days is hardly a punishment... heck, half the time i feel like 3 days in jail would be good for me (help reduce stress, get away from work, etc).

    I really don't believe the "reports" that she was crying in her cell... 3 days?

    Do you think any of us would get out if we were crying in our cell? I think not. :angry:

    She gives more a bad name to the Hilton franchise than to Paris France.
    If you are choosing from 2 otherwise = hotels, and one is named Hilton, which do you choose? Is it a different answer from 5 years ago?

    I won't repeat what I said in this post. (And why do we have two threads on the same topic???) But I will add that rich folks very seldom spend any time in prison. Paris spent 3 days in jail, and that's three days more than a lot of rich folks who have done a heck of a lot worse than she has.

    And when I pick a hotel it will be based on convenience, quality, and price. Paris Hilton will have no effect on my choice. (Unless she chooses to devote some personal attention to inducing me to pick her family's hotel :) )

    My answer isn't different, because Hilton hotels are incredibly boring and over-priced. If I have to go with a chain, give me a Marriot if I'm paying, or a Ritz-Carlton if someone else is. Yeah, Ritz-Carlton is really expensive, but it's worth it.

    Sheraton is nice, too. If I want to go cheap, Doubletree is really good. But Hilton? Blah.
