The Simple Life

[Guillaume le Maréchal]

Is anyone else watching this show?

Yes, I admit it. Actually, I’m surprised at how revealing this television program has proven to be... no, I’m not talking about that, gutter brain . At the first episode I expected to see the two girls making fun of these poor country bumpkins, being shallow spoiled brats, and being mean spirited. However, this hasn’t been the case at all!

In fact, it is exactly the other way around. At every turn these two girls try their hardest, only to be brow beaten, maligned, and sneered at by the locals. It really is pathetic that a group of people so worried about how they would be portrayed on television have done such a good job proving to America just how shallow, prejudiced and ignorant they really are... all done on their own with no help from the rich girls.

For example, on tonight’s episode there was some maligning by the country folk about the clothes being worn by our heiresses. However, did any of these bumpkins take the time to say: “hey, lets go shopping for some new clothes that might help you fit in around here”? Nope. Its as though these people think they have something prove... but all they’ve really done is prove how vicious and stupid they are.

I’m curious as to anyone else’s thoughts about this.
