Hilton Arc de Triomphe



There are your average whores, and then there's Paris Hilton. A woman who, singlehandedly, overturned years of research social workers put into establishing a link between abject poverty and prostitution. So, needless to say, it was a complete shock to hear that the people behind the Billboad Music Awards would ask this saint, this paragon of virtue, to make a mockery of her friends on live television. I have no idea what she was required to say but knowing Paris, which I do on a first name basis apparently, it was vulgarity such as you've never heard before. Because this is a woman with principles.

So take notes impressionable young women. You can snigger in the background when someone with you makes colorful remarks (firecrotch comes to mind) about your friends, you can be delusional about your lack of talent, you can be completely amoral and sexually promiscuous, even allowing to be filmed in the act, but never, I repeat, never attend the Billboard Music Awards. Because they stand for everything that is wrong with music today. And for the sake of establishing some relevance to the subject of this post, Paris Hilton's music, for lack of a better word, sucks!!

Just to show them how it's done, here's a video of Kyle Riabko performing his song, What Did I Get Myself Into, at The Knitting Factory. A better artist and a much better venue as a showcase of talent.
