Lindsay Lohan recently spent time in jail as punishment for drunk driving and possessing cocaine.
How much time did Lohan serve for her illegal behavior, you might ask? 84 minutes. Eighty four minutes. Eight four.
Are you kidding me?
The woman has been arrested twice in the past year, once she wrecked her car and the other time after leading the police on a chase.
In addition to her 84 minutes behind bars, Lohan was also sentenced to 10 days of community service, 3 years of probation and 18 months in an alcohol education program. Lohan also spent two months in rehab, although that was not court ordered.
Let me remind you that this star of Freaky Friday and a variety of other mind-numbing movies was arrested for DRUNK DRIVING and POSSESSING COCAINE.
84 minutes.
I'm freaking fit to be tied. Of course, this is out of the Left Coast, where the legal system, which includes the misguided 9th Circuit, always does just the opposite of what would be rational or realistic.
And, of course, if you're famous, the law doesn't apply to you as it does to "normal people", does it? Freaking ridiculous. No wonder our legal system is laughed at by the rest of the world. No matter how often MOST people within the legal system do the right thing, some jerk has to go and decide that 84 minutes plus basically meaningless additional punishments like community service and probation, is appropriate for two felonies.
Un-freaking-believable.
