I'm pretty

Americans love our dogs. American dogs are so cute and they don't have to do anything but they get food, shelter and love. Reminds me of Paris Hilton.
I once had a conversation with my friend Mike. Although I quickly found out that he was pulling my chain, I couldn't let the statement "Paris Hilton is so cool." get by me without someone standing up for the sane. What is Paris Hilton we might ask? Well she is the daughter of a very wealthy hotel tycoon that has starved herself to look model-esk in pictures that are taken of the heiress of billions.
But what we forget when we look at the pretty pictures of her that Paris Hilton is dumb.
No matter though, we Americans think she is a celebrity. And why do we think she is a celebrity, I have no idea. I think she did some modeling way back when, but I don't think anyone thinks of her like Christie Brinkley or Naomi Campbell. She and her friend Nichole Richie are the stars in a "Reality" show, but that has been in recent years and I think the producer just wanted to make fun of her and make money from the spectacle. She is a singer. Hmmmm...Right. If you haven't heard her song don't worry you aren't missing much, this again was someones way of trying to make money off of her. The song sucks (if she has more than one, sorry hearing one was all I could handle). If it was anyone else, they wouldn't have been let in the door because, really, she has no talent. Although I think whoever produced it and whoever came up with the idea of it, is a genius! We should be watching those guys! But those guys (or gals!) aren't celebrities, Paris is...but doesn't a celebrity need to have a talent? Even people like Richard Simmons, who no one can really remember him doing anything except "Dancin' to the oldies", makes people laugh. And that at least is something to tune in to. But why do we Americans tune into news or shows about Paris Hilton? I still can't work it out. Maybe because she is pretty? Because she is sexy? That could be a good argument but the Internet is crammed full of porn sites you can look at pretty, sexy girls, but we wouldn't buy their albums and we don't feature them on FOX news.
Mike seems to think differently. He says that she is interesting because Americans don't really know what to do with a person who has SO much money but did nothing to earn it, as is the American way. He said that THAT is interesting so lets look at the pretty rich dumb girl and see what she does next. I guess we aren't so different from any other culture. Everyone likes to look at someone really freakish. Or maybe everyone is waiting for something really awful to happen to make her more like the rest of us. That's a terrible thought!

No, folks I think Paris Hilton claim to fame came this morning in an article from FOX news. She was arrested some time ago for drunk and reckless driving and her mom said "Hopefully, young people who look up to people like Paris will learn from this."
I hope so too. And not just about the drunk driving thing. Here is some clothing that the young people can yearn to wear...





YIKES!
Well if nothing less at least our Young Americans can learn to make sure you wear clothes that cover your nipples when in the spot light...






Sorry but, Paris Hilton is America. Or more, the Paris Hilton Phenomena is America.
