The joke three week incarceration of the 'poor' 26 year old multi-millionaire heiress Paris Hilton is over. The whole affair would be best suited to an episode of her reality TV show The Simple Life.

The media frenzy surrounding her release was equally astonishing and sad. Why do we want to know so much about this vacuous bimbo who is only famous for being famous ? The coverage she gets is phenomenal, even out here in Asia. For instance, her first official post jail TV interview will be on CNN's Larry King Live show. And (sadly) it's sure to be a ratings success.
