Unless you’ve been living under a rock the size of Mel Gibson’s rage, you’re well aware of the fact that Lindsay Lohan has already begun to serve her jail time. After being sentenced to 90 days in an LA prison for the double DUI she got a while back, Lindsay will only serve two weeks due to the jails being over capacity. However, the embarrassment of having her court appearances splashed all over the web may be even worse than the 14-day stint in jail.
Lindsay cracked a few jokes about her jail time via Twitter. Either to soften the blow of the jail bars slamming, or to beat her more, mean-spirited Twitter followers to the punch, Lindsay said,
However, she can do that. It’s her life and she can feel free to poke fun at herself for her own mistakes, however the jokes that are circulating around the Internet and in the “real world” are getting a little too harsh. This is someone’s life we’re talking about. Not the latest episode of our favorite mind-numbing reality show.

Not sure if it’s the fact that Lindsay has been slammed in the tabloids since about 2006, or if it’s the idea of a former Disney star being convicted of a DUI that makes onlookers incapable of understanding that her jail sentence is very real, but people are having a little too much fun with this.
Our society is addicted to celebrity gossip. People are addicted to the glamour, feed on gossip, and enjoy poking fun at celebrities, believing that even the meanest of comments can’t hurt someone who “has it all”, but sometimes we need to step back and really think about the fact that Lindsay Lohan, her friends and her family can log on to these sites just like we can, and may be hurt by what they see.
For example….

Lindsay might only go to jail for two weeks? She’s had longer hangovers than that! – guy on Subway.
