Nothing. &#8230; Dice never rolled in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But as they would say in Paris&#8217; namesake city, &#8220;Au contraire, mon frere.&#8221; Dice has posted video of himself at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theresistancemanifesto.com\/\" target=\"_new\">TheResistanceManifesto.com<\/a> at The Beverly Hilton, wearing his &#8220;Pray for Paris&#8221; T-shirt, pontificating on Paris&#8217; possible prison conversion to a worthier person, interviewing fellow partiers, and being shown the door by hotel security.<\/p>\n<p>Dice, a character smashup of Bill O&#8217;Reilly and Henry Rollins, calls the celbutante a &#8220;drunken party slut&#8221; and hopes that she will leave the slammer as someone who will &#8220;contribute to society &#8230; someone who will help the less fortunate, instead of making fun of them.&#8221; Paris is an easy target for late night comedians and publicity-seeking pundits. And while Dice falls squarely in this category, at least when asked why he would want to pray for Paris when she wouldn&#8217;t pray for him if he were in jail, he responded, &#8220;The Golden Rule of Life is to treat others the way you&#8217;d want to be treated.&#8221;
