What the hell is wrong with this picture? Paris Hilton gets popped for a DUI offence, goes to court, gets sentenced and does less time in jail than what she was given. This seemed to spark a celeb craze to follow suit. Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan had their brushes with the law as well. I can't speak with certainty about Britney Spears ever having a DUI problem, just a drug/alcohol/psycho problem. I do know that Lindsay Lohan had her DUI issues though, yet another tidbit I'll be glad to NOT hear about on a daily basis. I know DUI's are nothing new, other celebs in the past have been busted too. (Mel Gibson & Nick Nolte come to mind and I'm sure there are more as well.) Does no one have any good old fashioned common sense anymore? They're celebrities, which presumably means, they have money and friends... Has no one heard of having a Designated Driver? Calling a cab? Hiring a limo/driver?
I reside in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. All I've been hearing, thanks to my sports nut boss and the media here, is about Nikolai Khabibulin's latest arrest, court date and MINIMUM sentence of 30 days in jail.... This for excessive speed and being TWICE the legal limit........ And he's APPEALING the verdict no less. Decades ago, Edmonton dealt with a hockey player who was caught drunk driving.... And he KILLED someone. Granted, MacTavish did his time for his crime and moved on with his life in a productive way.
I guess the point that I'm trying to come to is that if it was a regular Joe Blow from small town Canada/USA/Anywhere, it wouldn't make the news.... Joe Blow would lose his/her licence, pay the fine, and/or do the jail time. I'm tired of Celebutards getting away with EVERYTHING because they're just that. Celebutards. Do you think Paris Hilton learned her lesson? I sure as hell don't. Just this week again she was in the news for Cocaine Possession. Her excuse? "I thought it was gum!" Seriously? Are you THAT stupid???? If you are, never mind rehab, we need to get you on the Brain Transplant list.
It's not always about me... This time I'm glad it's not!
