Stars [barely] Behind Bars

Just in case you've been fretting that our justice system is all out of whack, you'll sleep better knowing that very scary criminal types like Lindsay Lohan are paying their debts to society.

People reports that LiLo served a 24-hour jail sentence- in a record 84 minutes due to early release policy. As part of her plea deal she'll also be required to contribute ten days of community service at an Americans Red Cross blood services facility. Which means that we'll probably have to suffer through a public service announcement of LiLo looking all kinds of serious, urging us to donate blood.

So here's where I take further offense to the system.
Linz drinks.
Linz drives.
Linz drives drunk (or was that a Hilton or a Richie? maybe both) gets caught, spends less time behind bars than theatergoers spent suffering through Georgia Rule, and now we will eventually have to pay the price by watching PSAs urging us to give blood or vote or stop taking crack?

Where's the justice in that?

As You Were....
