I thought the funniest was Paris losing her Bentley. The ignorant ass media afterwards so butchered the story and gave it like 3 lives of its own. Suddenly the casino was named after her, she lost it in a poker game, and she had a gambling problem. Well anyone who has been there knows exactly why its named Paris. A little research would tell them the Hilton family hasn't been involved in Park Place/Caesars for a long time as well, so they didn't "own" the casino. Even worse the idea of losing a car in a game conjured up these imagines of her throwing her keys on the table in a raise or something straight out of the movies which we all know is totally ridiculous. Turns out she was going to sell the car anyways because she supposedly wanted something more "eco". She just happened to lose 6 figures gambling over a year or so, which is chump change to her so some moron said, "hmm, lost enough that she was forced to sell her car, that's the story!"
Its absolutely pathetic the bad rap the industry gets from these know-nothing journalists who write 10 cliches and make stuff up to get out a story they think the public wants to read. Imagine complaining about someone who earns about $8 million a year and has a net worth probably close to $100 million losing a couple hundred thousand? Yet this is the shit that will get all the moralistic jerks on our case about how evil gambling is.
