It frightens me that this is in any way news. Lord people are dumb. People going into debt buying crap they don’t need and can’t afford to pay for is part of what got the world into this mess to begin with. Fools.

kerrjac – Although that’s an interesting article on the Washington Post’s website, that’s not the one that I saw the other day. I’ll have to go search for it now – in fact, it might be the article that Kinsley references in the article that you linked.

Martin – The funny part is that if Paris suggests that she’s doing something, then I would hope that the rest of us DON’T do it! And the truth is that buying American doesn’t always yield the best results. For example, if you buy a Toyota you’d probably be buying a car that is made down south somewhere – by American workers.

I’m not a celebrity gossip follower, but I did hear that Paris Hilton pledged to do her part to fix the economy by “buying American” in hopes that it would set a trend.

Yes, she did say that and I’m not making it up. She honestly believes she’s a trend setter. What might be quite sadder is that she just might be correct.

I didn’t see that specific one but here’s similar one from the Washington Post, which made me slap my forehead so many times I got black & blue marks. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/19/AR2009021902578.html
