And now, another episode of 'Stuff I Wouldn't Dare Make Up'


I never thought I would say this, but I actually felt sorry for Paris Hilton today. Chalk up to parental instincts, or natural-born contrariness, but I think she was hammered a tad too hard by folks who wanted to make an "example" of her.

But dig this: You see that photo of her weeping in the back of a police car? Well, as Andrew Sullivan reports on The Daily Dish, it was taken by Nick Ut. Thirty-five years ago today, Ut took a very different photo of a crying female.
