Paris Hilton bikini photos are rarely super-attractive, and this set is no exception, to be sure. But we are posting them because when she headed to Dubai to shoot My Dubai BFF, she was told that she was not allowed to wear a bikini.

As you can see, that advice worked out about as well as the previous seasons of My New BFF (she seems to find, then ditch the BFFs she chooses quickly).

Anyway, here's Paris Hilton posing in a bikini a day after publicly stating how much she respects and loves Middle East culture. What a great ambassador ...

Paris Hilton classes up Dubai as only she can.

Unfortunately, Paris Hilton has not been detained by the authorities as of this posting. But if she busts out her topless mermaid ensemble, there still a chance!

If she were to become a permanent addition to a Dubai prison, well, maybe that's harsh of us to even think about. But let's face it, you'd laugh a little inside.
