Being Stupid = Fame and Fortune

It just boggles my mind how our society continues to pay attention to stupid people and reward them with fame/fortune. Here is Example Number One - Paris Hilton. Below are some brilliant thoughts by this ditzy airhead, as published by MSN.com. Apparently she was involved in some kind of deposition recently, and this is what came out of it:

On her people skills: "If something happens bad to someone, I just don't talk to them again. I don't confront people. I don't do anything."
On being kind to others: "I was trying to be nice. Because if you are nice to someone, then they can't talk bad about you. Like, they'll feel bad saying mean things about you."
On the impact of technology: "Whatever I write in an email, it doesn't mean anything. It is just words I write."
On interpersonal relationships: "I meet so many people. I don't even know some of my friends' names."
On her former publicist referring to Graff as a "stalker" in the Page Six piece: "I would never say stalking. I'm not like a dude. Like, I think a girl can only stalk a guy. She can't really stalk another girl."
On her deep knowledge of Greek culture: "It is like a weird Greek name. Like Douglas or ..."
On whether she knew that "U.K. publications" had picked up the Graff item: "No ... there is stuff in London." When her lawyer points out that "London is a U.K. publication," Paris replies, "Right. U.K. Whatever."
On globetrotting: "I was in Europe the whole summer, and all there is is like French -- I didn't see anything [about the Graff story] because I wasn't in America."
On the physical impact of the deposition: "I'm so hungry."
On Graff's alleged plan to bring down Paris and Paris: "[Latsis] said that she was going to do voodoo on me. And I kind of do believe in that stuff a little bit, so I was a little bit scared about that ... " Continues Hilton, "[Latsis] said that she threatened to send Mexican people to come and beat the [bleep] out of him."
The deposition concludes with a worried Paris asking, "This is not going to the media, right?" Told that it wasn't, she sighed, "Good."

Her parents must be very proud at the brilliant offspring they produced!
