Weekend Television

So number 1 on VH1’s VSpot Top 20 countdown for at least a couple of weeks now has been “Not ready to make nice" by the Dixie Chicks . It’s a good song , about having your own opinion , having a right to lawfully stick by it and the freedom to voice it out. How difficult it is to be true to yourself, go against popular opinion and not be judged in today’s world !!!!

I also like the All American Rejects’ and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ latest ,Shakira was alright , the rest in the top 20 were just about OK…..

Talking about TV, I’m watching the Simple Life episode where Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spend a day with the Ghauri’s ; a Pakistani Family. This is the first episode of The Simple Life I’ve watched, obviously its scripted , but Paris and Nicole come off as total MORON’s when compared to the Pakistani family !!! Some gems…. Pakistani Pepperoni Pizza!!, giving the Dad clubbing advice, when asked by the Family what the official language of Pakistan was they said “Pakistanian”.. and when the girls were asked if they knew what the major religion in Pakistan was ..( they didn’t know??!!) ..so the dad gave a hint “it’s been in the news a lot (these days)”..and Paris Hilton says “ Kaballah??!” ..Yeah right!!!

I guess I shouldn’t hold this lack of general knowledge against them !!! There are a few other cultural faux pas in this episode .. You should probably watch if you’re interested!!!

Anyway .. all in all a good effort at culture appreciation… Paris came off as the more thoughtful and mature of the two… from what I’ve seen of the show so far anyway …
