Just what does she contribute to society? And just what is her actual occupation anyway? Celebrity party girl and occasional model/guest star/sex video star? Is heiress an occupation? She gets a lot of unwarranted attention. On top of that, I think guys are even split on whether she's all that hot. I'm not sure what the American public's infatuation with her is (or with, say, Anna Nicole Smith for that matter). Her reality show portrays her as a spoiled rotten airhead who can't hold down even the simplest of menial labor jobs, either because of the inability to perform any task that requires more then the briefest glimmer of thought, or the complete and utter lack of work ethic, or some combination of the two. Do I hate her? No. Do I find her attractive? No. Are there millions of people more interesting than her? Probably.
Of course, perhaps she knows what holds everyone's attention and is promoting herself as such? Thus, she is in fact a marketing genius playing an Oscar-caliber role? 😛
