Paris syndrome 

A sense of strong disappointment felt as a tourist caused by some combination of culture shock and the failure of the visiting destination to meet one’s own preconceived expectations. It can result in several psychiatric symptoms such as acute delusional states, anxiety, depression, derealization, the feeling of experiencing prejudice, and more.

The term originates from Japanese tourists experiencing this phenomenon while visiting Paris, France, but in modern times has been used to describe feelings expressed by people complaining online that any given tourist destination was not what they expected.
“Did you see the video of the guy complaining about his visit to Greece?”
“I’m not sure what he expected. It sounds like Paris syndrome.”

Paris Hilton Syndrome 

A sort of sick disease, when a person finds themselves waking up in a different bed everyday. May include temptations to throw away all property that is not pink. People affected may spend all their worldly lifetime savings on things such as breast implants, ass implants, pink poodles, and big pink bags to carry the poodles around in.
'Visiting' jail may seem like an honourable goal or accomplishment to such people, as well as at least one lesbian relationship in life. Also the ability to sing like a cat being strangled, and the confidence to share this 'gift' with the world. The diseased also find it compulsory to be a slut, and a porn item of some sort.
Girl 1: I feel so weird! My ass seems to get larger everyday, my toilet seat is suddenly pink, and i haven't slept in my own bed for almost a month! What do you think is wrong with me?
Girl 2: You must have Paris Hilton Syndrome! You poor thing! You're screwed!
