Bareback Ladies Have Fish
Christopher Hitchens captures the obscenity of Paris Hilton at the hands of Big Media and this culture:
Not content with seeing her undressed and variously penetrated, it seems to be assumed that we need to watch her being punished and humiliated as well. The supposedly “broad-minded” culture turns out to be as prurient and salacious as the elders in The Scarlet Letter. Hilton is legally an adult but the treatment she is receiving stinks—indeed it reeks—of whatever horrible, buried, vicarious impulse underlies kiddie porn and child abuse.
I cannot imagine what it might be like, while awaiting a prison sentence for a tiny infraction, to see dumb-ass TV-addicted crowds howling with easy, complicit laughter as Sarah Silverman (a culpably unfunny person) describes your cell bars being painted to look like penises and jokes heavily about your teeth being at risk because you might gnaw on them. And this on prime time, and unrebuked. Lynching parties used to be fiestas, as we have no right to forget, and the ugly coincidence of sexual nastiness—obscenity is the right name for it—and vengefulness is what seems to lend the savor to the Saturnalia.
Pedophiliac chimps is what they are. But they wouldn’t cater to it if there weren’t a market. So what is left of Big Media’s legitimacy? They’re straight-up pr0n. Read what you know and don’t forget to ignore degenerate cable news. Hell, I wouldn’t even look at the local news except for the weather and to salivate over Michelle Valles’ sacredness for a couple minutes.
Oh, shit. They done got me good!
