here's why i don't feel bad for her....not one bit:

i don't have a cell phone, actually, but i know most people do, so lets look at it this way......

tomorrow you get out of work/school and turn on your phone, possibly to make a call. as you head home (using whatever mode of transport), suddenly you get a flurry of calls, from people you're positive you don't know, and you definitely don't want to talk to because you're tired and want to go home and see your family/go out and see your friends/whatever.

Sure enough, someone hacked into your cell phone, and right now, your phone numbers are all across the web, in the hands of complete strangers, who surely don't have good intentions.

So far, this is what happened to Paris Hilton. The difference ? because its paris hilton, they make a huge fuss out of everything, and immediately start working to correct it.

if your phone was hacked, you know, you, the average joe, middle class, not particularly famous, other than appearing on the local news after you returned a little girl to her parents in Kmart, the phone company wouldn't nearly make such a huge fuss over it.
