People Dying, Floods everywhere but why is Paris Hilton major news?

[Vidic15]

I didn't know where to post this..

With the suffering in the world, people being murdered, bombs going off and everything else in this world why must Paris Hilton being released from Jail get to be the centre of the world? There's a flood in England that has claimed 3 lives, why aren't we focusing on that? People in NSW died due to a flood, why was that not front page news?

But the main focus of the news is Paris Hilton? Why? 'cause she is rich? The news is strange.

I completely agree with you. Paris Hilton is just another stupid attention whore, just like Brittany Spears. Who gives a fuck about her going to jail or getting out? She'll probably shave her head soon, then show the world her cooch. Stupid whore.

Paris Hilton sells newspapers, & gets TV ratings, floods & bombs don't.
It's all about making a profit.

Disasters sell news. Famous People sell news. Famous people disasters must sell 2x as much news.

Actually, I believe it goes like this in terms of ratings:

1. Sluts and Whores
2. Boobs and ass of said sluts and whores
3. Mass death
4. Washed up Hollywood stars who die mysterious deaths

because death happens everyday. people are sick of it.

Paris Hilton goes to jail and gets out pretty much as soon as she gets in. Doesn't happen everyday. Also the LA court system has also been the butt of tons of late night jokes which I really enjoy.

because she might sleep with you if you happen to live in LA.

She probably gave a headjob to the editors to publish her 'prison' story..

These things are news because celeberty lives have proven to be extremely marketable. Paris plays to her paparazzi and in turn they keep her in the news through magazines which are read by a great deal of people.
This is why its news, because its the public's intrest that keeps it there.
