Overexposure is Underrated
OVEREXPOSURE IS UNDERRATED
If I have to read one more article on Paris Hilton, I'm going to impale myself with the first thing I can find. If I have to read one more quote of her spouting out the facts of life (inevitably with the word "like" inserted between every other word) then I'll find a shovel and bash the shit out of my monitor. It's not like I CHOOSE to read these articles. It's sites like MSN, Netscape or any of those wannabe news-entities that report anything but the news.
'This just in - Paris Hilton takes a dump. Don't forget, we were first on the scene'
What exactly did she do to deserve this fame? Oh right. Slept with her boyfriend, was filmed while doing so, and then protested the inevitable sale of said film. Well there you have it. Is it no wonder that people flock, I say flock!, to this fine country of ours? My concern now is this. What about the porn stars??? I mean, the poor, destitute porn stars? They don't get rewarded with the same type of fame. Do you even realize how many men these poor creatures had to sleep with? Where is their thankyouverymuch? Where is their 'dump report at 10pm'? Poor things. I mean, have you SEEN Ron Jeremy? Not pretty.
It's the same with Bennifer. Now, I know the wind has died down. The ship is at sea with that one. But I feel it deserves a comment. I mean, what did this woman do exactly? Cause it ain't her acting that's bringing the cameras I'll tell ya that. Here's what she did. She bounced from relationship to relationship, hooked up with Benny, broke up with Benny, hooked back up, accepted a ridiculously sized ring, and then stood him up on the big hoopla day. This is what causes us to want to know what she's wearing when she runs to the market for some butter and tampons? Well hell, I can do this people. In fact, I have done most of that already. Want to know what I'm wearing?
You know what else gets too much exposure? Science. That's right. I mean, just when the folks think they've discovered the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything (and it ain't 42) then they up and change their answer. It's been happening since the beginning of time with these guys. Tell you what, when you know the exact date and time of the end of the earth as we know it, toot it about all day. Until then, shut up.
