Why did Paris's jail escapades get more attention than the Ducks' win?

Answer 1

Because for some reason, people care about what happens in celebrities lives. It's pretty pathetic.
And the lack of interest in hockey is very depressing to me, an avid hockey fan.
But hockey has been on a decline. Boo :(

Answer 2

Within normal limitations, what one does in the privacy of their home is their business. However, what one does when operating a motor vehicle is the public’s business. Actually, the judge seems fairly lenient on her. I think the real issue is the way the sentencing is being so blown out of proportion. As if this woman is having imposed on her a hard and long prison sentence. The defense on the other hand is attempting to put the judge on trial, like he has ulterior motives, and wants to punish her because of who she is, and not because of what she did. The Sheriff is also onboard with this defense theory, following her transfer to home incarceration from fulltime custody. Her subsequent return to jail was after being summonsed back for a hearing, when the judge realized his orders were not complied with.

The Sheriff transferred her to home incarceration, without the apparent authority to implement this change in her incarceration status. The Sheriff is correct that many are released due to overcrowding, and this is in fact customary. But, I believe the Judge had a standing order for her to serve jail time. If this is true, the Sheriffs Department’s mission is to follow the direction of the Magistrate.

This “attacking the man” defense strategy thus sounds like nothing more then sour grapes, because she was in fact given probation, and made aware of the consequence if she violated her arrangement. So I think the judge was incredibly strong, and stood steadfast under enormous pressure. In the long run, if the poor woman is running amuck, then perhaps she will be better off by this experience. Since a lesson learned hard, is one that is learned well. This may be what she needs to mature, and realize the risk she was imposing on others.

I’m sure though the Sheriffs are very professional; she will be safe, and well treated.

Answer 3

because the senators should have brought some heart and character to the ice and won the cup. seriously, you are right the ducks deserved more press. paris hilton and her parents have shown what they are about. i am sick of hearing about the trials and tribulations of those self centered people who think the law does not apply to them. hey that is much like the illegal immigrants.

Answer 4

Because both are entertainment?

What makes you think that the Ducks are a higher order of magnitude? I don't think they have anything to do with saving the environment or world peace.

Answer 5

Because everyone likes to see Paris make a fool out of herself.

Answer 6

It really should not have, that is the Media for you.
I wish the focus, their attention on someone else, anybody else, but Paris.

Answer 7

Its depressing that she gets more coverage than something really important, like the G8 summit.

Answer 8

Because sadly Paris Hilton is still more entertaining.

Answer 9
