What is more humiliating than BEING Boy George?

"Singer Boy George was threatened with prison yesterday for failing to complete a community service sentence because he wanted to do something less humiliating than raking leaves."
Isn't BEING Boy George humiliating enough? I would think raking leaves would be a huge step up. Then again, I am not a "celebrity". Personally, I would not have considered Boy George a celebrity if not for this:
If convicted on the drug charges, the singer could have been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Instead, he was ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation program and was fined $US1000 ($1370), which he has paid.
Maybe it is just me, but I have a suspicion...a sneaking suspicion...that if I were found with THIRTEEN bags of cocaine in my posession, I would do a little more than a thousand bucks and rehab. You have to be a celeb to get away with that.

What's with the $1370 in parenthases?
