Like, piss off.
In case you didn't know it, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have made a reality TV series on Fox called "The Simple Life." In the series, Hilton and Richie were dumped in Altus, Arkansas for five weeks. Now, I've been to Altus, which is a little mountain town surrounded by wineries. The Weiderkehr Wine Cellars have a fun (if cheesy) festival every year called Weinfest. I went a couple of years ago. I'm a little angry that Altus is now set to be the object of much ridicule. I'm a little protective of Arkansas.
Anwyay, here is an excerpt from a recent National Post story on Paris Hilton. I think it beautifully illustrates her vocabulary and deep thinking.
On how her life has changed since the filming of the show: "Um ... just the way I'm, like, thinking about things, just, like, the way I am with people now."
On whether her life is simple: "I think I have, like, a complicated life. And their life [meaning that of the family with which Paris and Nicole lived] is not so simple. Like, people work their butts off there. So, it's simple in the fact, like, there's no distractions, like, like everything around here."
On what she learned about life: "Yeah, like, I met some people there, and they're so much happier than people I see in L.A., who have so much money. Like, people who didn't have anything were, like, more happy than people I've met out here, because it's just all about your family. And I think [Arkansas is] a great place to, like, raise kids instead of raising them, like, in L.A."
