| The Season of the Heirheads by Jeremy at 7:21 pm EST, Nov 16, 2003 | |||
This fall, the young, bored and superrich have come up with a devastatingly effective method of disarming America's simmering outrage: they have learned to utterly humiliate themselves on cable television. On "The Simple Life," the socialite Paris Hilton agrees to spend a month living with a farm family in Arkansas, along with Nicole Richie, the singer Lionel Richie's daughter. In the first episode, there's the predictable pile-up of "Sex and the City" meets "Hee-Haw" jokes. (Hilton wonders if Wal-Mart is where you go to buy "wall stuff.") But it's when Nicole muses about dragging the farm family's fresh-faced 19-year-old son into a sexual "threesome" for sport that you may find yourself reaching for a Louis Auchincloss novel and a bottle of Scotch. I find this an interesting, and entirely believable, tidbit, to be included in a New York Times article only one day after its editorial page wrote about "The Wal-Martization of America." | |||
