Paris and Nicole Under Attack 07 April, 2007

Paris and Nicole Under Attack

Ever since it was officially announced that the wonderful show that is 'The Simple Life' had been greenlit for yet another season, the world kept a close eye on Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (the two main stars), hoping that something would happen to prevent them to go on with the schedule. Yes, that's the truth! The world doesn't want to see them act for the simple reason that they have no idea what acting is. That without even taking into consideration what the two socialites understand by the term 'reality TV'.

Anyway, since the show did go on as planned, people were forced to go with the flow. After all, if there's nothing you can do about something, at least you can try to make fun of it. And, come to think of it, when you have Paris and Nicole in the same spot, doing a show in which they pretend to be, like, real and stuff, you can't but have a lot of fun!

In the light of all this, you can imagine how the world giggled when word got out that, for this brand new season of the show, the two party animals (or celeretards, as they are called in certain circles) would be coaching a bunch of kids in a summer camp that looked like a fat camp but was not. Allegedly. I mean, who is better than Nicole Richie to teach impressionable children about the benefits of having lemon water for breakfast, lunch and dinner Again: allegedly. Who else than Paris could be the perfect person for teaching our nation's young ones about what being a role model really means You get my point...



To counteract this whole Internet attack to which the two girls were submitted, E! went into damage control mode: first off, a press statement was released, saying that the camp to which the girls would be heading to was not a 'fat camp', but an establishment where children come during the summer to learn new things. Also, the statement specified that Nicole and Paris would only be lending a hand to the real counselors and not doing all the job themselves. Secondly, the network released the poster ads for the new season, and all of them showed the two girls in situations that seemed to scream 'See, we have a sense of humor and we can poke fun at ourselves, so you can stop now'.


Enlarge pictureOne of them is below so you can see exactly how well-aimed and thoroughly planned the marketing strategy for 'The Simple Life' is. Unfortunately, the mere fact that it features Paris and Nicole makes the money that went into the campaign go down the toilet. Anyway, returning to the ad, it shows the two 'reality stars' sitting in a boat carried by two hunks. Useless to say, the message is that they are the same arrogant, self-centered bitches as always. No, strike that: the Louis Vuitton bags, the perfect hairdos and impeccable outfits of Paris and Nicole are meant to say that, no matter where they go, they are still the ladies of the house.

Now take a look at the ad above, which was devised by the Gallery of the Absurd and see how things really stand. Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are not some television 'stars': never have and never will be, because that would require talent. Neither are they as gorgeous as Photoshop has made them look in the official poster. What they are, in fact, is two attention-hungry bimbos who simply pretend to be doing something so that all the media coverage that is being given to them can seem justified. At least, that's what the parody is implying.

Now, we're gonna play a game in which I pretend I'm new at this and I don't know which is the truth (meaning, of having to choose between the official poster and the spoof) and you are too concerned with hurting my feelings to let me know. That is why we are going to enjoy the Absurd poster without straining our intellect too much over which is Paris and Nicole's purpose on earth. Peace out.
