Paris Hilton- What's The Point

I sometimes think the only reasons my younger son, whom I shall refer to as Stretch, comes over is because a) I cook and b) we have Sky.
Stretch is fond of his food. Stretch is even fonder of our food.
The comic poetess Pam Ayres talking about her sons and revealed that her cupboards are frequently bare. 'The problem is I go out and do a big shop, then they come in and do a big eat and we're back where we started."
I know the feeling, a loaf of bread will last Badger Bill( father of the aforementioned Stretch, his elder brother Chunk and husband for over 20 years) and I a week ,one loaf will barely last breakfast when Stretch is here.
Stretch doesn't have digital or satellite so when he lands in the familial sett an important part of his visit is sitting in front of the telly getting his fix of the music channels.
It is here that I kept seeing adverts for programmes about Paris Hilton.
" Who is Paris Hilton?" I asked
"Some minger" was the response
"What's she famous for?"
"Being a rich slapper"
"Is that it?"
"Pretty much, her Dad has loads of cash and she's got a bunch of rich friends so the telly figures we're interested in her"
"Oh.....and are you?"
"No"
I decided to watch one of these programmes, something I have admitted to no one till now, and find out what all the fuss was about. I stuck it for about 5 minutes. I tried again but again after about 5 minutes I had a roaring headache, probably caused by my soaring blood pressure.
With all that money she should be able to afford clothes that actually cover her. How must her parents feel knowing their daughter is so attention starved that she dresses just short of hanging her fanny out to be noticed. Unless of course I missed that particular peek-a- boo photograph.
Supposedly all that money could have bought the best in private education, so what happened to it? Or is she really as dense as she acts in which case should she be let out in public without a carer?
This is a young woman, supposedly one of the creme de la creme of a American Society, who seems incapable of stringing more than 3 words together in a coherent manner and yet she is followed around by cameras because she is supposedly interesting.
Interesting? Wouldn't it be cheaper to go into any town, English or American, spend a few days following the chavettes who infest our town centres and shopping precincts. They are as seemingly ill educated, vapid, self centered and incapable of coherent speech, sartorially they are on the same level thinking that their physical beauty is so great it is a sin to cover it ( though in the case of chavettes the chances are it is still what they were born with where as with Paris Hilton I'm not sure)
The programme made would be far cheaper, though just as much a waste of film, and the money could be used to find and follow some of the really interesting young people of the world. Young people it might be worth trying to emulate.
What is the point of a life that revolves around the most insignificant and trivial of matters? When Paris Hilton and her peers actually have to cope with real life then it might be worth filming because when the rug gets pulled out from under their feet their fame and fortune will as much use to them as a chocolate fire guard.
