Paris, ah, Paris

I've noted that there seems to be a lot more discussion in the media about Paris Hilton's latest escapades (pun intended) than no-go zones around Paris, France. Do you think that the fact that more people are aware of the porn movie "A Night in Paris" than are aware that car burning continues in the no-go zones is responsible for the fact that we have no coherent response to this? In other words, are we as stupid and decadent as they think we are?
