Paris Hilton isn’t normally someone who elicits cries of pity, but she fell victim to a cruel prank. Egyptian actor Ramez Galal pulled a shameless stunt on his show, Ramez in Control. Paris believed she was on a tourist-oriented jet tour of Dubai. She visits the city often enough (usually for resort openings) that her presence on such a flight isn’t out of the ordinary.

Paris was set up for this terrible prank, and her handler was part of the process. She attended yet another hotel opening, and she ended up entering the jet. The stunt involved the plane pretending to spin out of control while alarms blare. The plane dives and swoops for several minutes as Paris freaks out and cries. Once the plane lands, Paris finds out the whole thing was a prank. She’s completely surprised and understandably upset. Here’s the video clip (with fair warning – it is disturbing to watch) and let’s discuss below.

Does this make you feel sorry for Paris? Galal’s thrilled reaction (after landing) was almost more disturbing than the prank itself. This guy has no conscience at all. This stunt could have gone very wrong, and every occupant of the plane should feel lucky to be alive. Poor Paris, and shame on Galal for making me feel bad for a spoiled heiress.
