Jailhouse Rock

As much as I hate commenting on mindless celebrity bullshit, I just have to say something about Paris Hilton, who began her 23-day jail sentence last night. A heard several comments about how she tried to buy her way out of it, but I don't really see the problem. If I were faced with jail time, I'd use every avenue imaginable to get out of it. What's the big deal about celebrities using their influence to get what they want? I don't hesitate to use my military ID to get a discount on my lunch or a free carwash. Is there really any difference?
