Turns out money can buy friends

Who wants to be Paris Hilton’s best friend?

Thousands of people, apparently. The infamous heiress is choosing through the Internet several candidates who will compete against one another on her upcoming reality show “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.” The winner is her new best friend, I guess. There have already been thousands of profiles and videos posted to ParisBFF.com by people who are interested in being on the show.

I could be wrong, but it seems a little arrogant to think that the whole world loves you so much that people are going to claw out the eyes of their opponents over who gets to be your best friend. And I don’t know about you, but I haven’t fought over best friend status since I was…seven.

It’s times like these that I almost become pro-censorship. Because a show like this not only cheapens the very idea of friendship, it allows things like this to surface on the Internet.

I lost hundreds of brain cells watching that clip. They are lost forever.
