Target: Did anyone notice the Target circular in the Sunday paper this week? One of the models was a girl on crutches. I found that interesting, because normally, companies want to pretend that life is perfect and don’t want to show people with disabilities or injuries.
Rich Girls: OH HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE?
Has anyone see the previews and articles and stuff about this new show with Paris Hilton and Lionel Richie’s daughter, Nicole (or something)? It’s basically a way for all of the U.S. to laugh at dumb rich kids.
Nothin’ wrong with that. But you’d think that they might wonder why they’re in the show.
TV: “Hi, Ms. Hilton, we’d like to make a mockery of you. Is that okay?”
Paris: “Like, fer sure! I love mockery, I have a whole collection of European mockery in my room…”
Apparently, they get told to go to Walmart, and they’re puzzled over what one buys there. They think they sell walls.
But basically, this seems to illustrate a theory I have. Essentially, I think that the are multiple kinds of rich people, each of whom has different qualities. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are what I call “DUMB RICH WHITE CHICKS”. Here is a rundown of some of the types:
Dumb rich white chicks (or dudes): Grandpa or Daddy made a fortune before they were born. They lived on the largess of their fathers. Went to private school and then to a “rich dumb kid” college (these exist, and are common). Don’t actually know how to add, but enjoy jet setting around the world. Many are attractive, but it doesn’t matter, because Daddy is rich. A male example could be George W. Bush.
Smart Rich Person: Wasn’t born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Worked hard, came up with something people needed, got a boatload of cash. An example is Bill Gates. I’m sure he’s worried, though, that his kids will grow up to be Dumb Rich White Kids.
Not Dumb Rich Kid: These are rare. Basically, rather than Daddy giving them everything they need, he meets their needs and then puts them on the bus to the public school. Of course, they don’t live in a bad area, so the schools are good. Usually exposed to people who are not other dumb rich kids.
That’s it for now. I had more, but I’m sleepy.
