Paris Hilton isn’t normally the stuff of Geek discussion. Her pending jailtime for violating probation (TWICE!) after driving under the influence is gratifying, but not tech. But when the vapid waif uses her MySpace.com page to start a viral petition THEN we take notice. (Of course, there’s more than just one. For more check out Defamer’s roundup of confused digital outpouring for the admitted drunk-driver.)

The screed on iPetitions.com begins:

To:
The Honorable Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Paris Whitney Hilton is an American celebrity and socialite. She is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. She provides hope for young people all over the U.S. and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives.

Hilton is notable for her leading roles on the FOX reality series The Simple Life and in the remake of the Vincent Price horror classic “House of Wax”. In addition to her work as an actress, she has achieved some recognition as a model, celebrity spokesperson, singer, and writer.

As most of America now knows, Ms. Hilton was just charged in a Los Angeles court with DUI and sentenced to 45 days in Century Regional Detention Facility in California beginning on or before June 5, 2007.

We, the American public who support Paris, are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that Drunk Driving is wrong. We do not support drunk driving or DUI charges. Paris should have been sober. But she shouldn’t go to jail, either.

Isn’t technology wonderful? Instead of solving the world’s problems or creating communities for change the youth are banding together to save a pampered talentless ’starlet’. Disgusted yet? Well, another little feature of the modern technology is the ability to disseminate information quickly – LIKE THIS PICTURE OF PARIS HILTON DRIVING HER $200K BENTLEY YESTERDAY DESPITE STILL HAVING A SUSPENDED LICENSE. The photo should do wonders for her appeal.

Photo first found via FadedYouth and the travails behind it detailed on Metro.co.uk. I think I just had a -2 roll to ‘faith in humanity’ check.
