Paris Hilton beats President Bush in ratings
It's been said that one will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Whoever said that had NO idea how correct they were.
More Americans watched Fox's "The Simple Life," which depicts the 22-year-old hotel heiress working on an Arkansas farm, than saw Bush being interviewed by Diane Sawyer, Nielsen Media Research said on Thursday.
"The Simple Life" may have been helped by the public saga of a video, making the rounds of the Internet, showing the granddaughter of hotel chain founder Conrad Hilton engaged in various sex acts with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
So, the moral of the story is that, if you want to enjoy a high degree of popularity, all you need to do is film yourself having sex and release it on the Internet. Invading Iraq is all well and good, but there's nothing quite like having your naked @$$ out there in cyberspace to generate ratings. Of course, I don't think we'll be seeing "George & Laura Gettin' Busy" on the Internet anytime soon....
