Has anyone caught Paris Hilton's new show, The World According to Paris? I'm thinking it was a bad idea, she doesn't come off too well.

Both episodes are up on youtube.

Did you see Barbara Walters rip her a new one (in a very calm and polite way) on The View about the show and the way she chooses to portray herself? LOL. Gold!

Is it on youtube gotta see that. Barbara Walters is one of the great female presenters along with Katie Couric
 
That new Paris the slut show - has totally bombed, got less than 500,000 viewers, yeah she's passed her use by date, finally!

I read a really funny report about the last time the slag went to Cannes, how she's not invited to anything but just turns up - and they don't want a public spectacle so anything on the red carpet she didn't get shoved off, but any of the parties and stuff - well plenty made sure she wasn't getting past security.
 
Muddy, I think this is the interview Mia's referring to:

Anyone watch Go Back where You Came From last night?
Very interesting show.
It showed some harrowing survivor stories.
And wow, some of the participants were still pusing the why didn't you get in the fantasy immigration line, when people were telling them about fleeing from torture,murder, and sisters of 8 & 12 getting raped.
Where do they think you line up when a killer is chasing you?
 
I did kxk, it was fantastic and I just wish the whole country was forced to watch it. Hopefully they will show it at schools too.

I am surprised at how brainwashed some of them actually are - they spout a media line and nothing else. See their faces when the country girl would throw a question at them - they were like stunned mullets, the thought had obviously never crossed their feeble minds before.

Very much looking forward to the next two episodes.
 
It's frightening how brainwashed most of the participants are, that guy going on an on about, your forcing me to feel empathy.......nah areshole, just showing you another/other sides to life, and asking you to consider joining the human race.
That young lib talking with the guy who had been in an opposition party and totured and persecuted, amazing screen moments there. What struck is, the refugee is a man, and a man who almost died for his beliefs,the aussie is kid playing with our lame politics - how inadequate and childish he appears beside that man's quiet bravery.

People who whine about refugees, the ones that do it personally to my face - I allways ask if they have ever spoken to a refugee, and asked about their life and what they went through to get here, answer is allways no, of course because ignorance and detachment is bliss.
 
It's a pity it aired on SBS and not one of the commercial channels. IMO people with those opinions are more likely to watch a commercial channel than SBS. I didn't watch it. I can't stand racists and I was about to sit there and listen to their vile stupid spew even if it did make them look foolish and eat humble pie. We recorded it for work, I might end up watching it after I burn it.
 
^ Exactly, Cowie.
Screening it on SBS is pretty much preaching to the converted.
 
Oh Cowie, I thought the same thing, I just watched the 2nd half - and it's rivetting TV. Some of them are getting really shakey about their stupid blind beliefs, and the people they are meeting have been so beautiful.
The next parts, look really educational about overseas camps and refugees.
All schools should have these shows as mandatory viewing
 
I love how now it is ok to be a refugeee if you are raped, tortured and held in kenya for 9 years but still don't even think about using a boat!!

You really can hear their cogs ticking over as they try to get their closed little minds to comperhend what is being said to them.

I was tres amused by Mr young lib saying "oh I don't want to get portrayed as some left of centre"....not much chance of that buddy, you are a young lib! Mr Ichi keeps asking why all young libs look the same ha ha ha

Anyway only 4 hours til next installment (WA)
 
Oh, thank god there are people here talking about it. I found it thoroughly depressing that there was no thread devoted to it and everyone thought Australia's Got Talent was better viewing.

God, that Raquel girl is vile. I've never seen anyone with so little empathy and so much selfishness. As Ben Pobjie said: "This is the banality of evil. A girl who'd rather see fellow humans tortured and killed than try to understand them."

"young libs" sounds like the Hitler Youth....

Why do they look the same well there's a giant cookie cutter machine that churns out clones of people that think the same, act the same, and are mean spirited... Hey presto "young liberals" :)

The very name Liberal Party is an oxymoron because they are anything but.. They don't stand for liberal values.

Have you watched the show, Mud?

It's online: http://www.sbs.com.au/goback
 
I'm going to try & watch it online. I only caught a bit of it on Tuesday night. SBS was all flickery & i'd completely lost NBN and it wasn't even windy at our place. Both channels were gone last night:( Who said digital was better? :mad:

I was going to start a thread for the show CB, but thought we might get more comments here.

That young woman is so typical of apathetic Aussies who watch tabloid crap TV, as long as I'm alright..........
I'm just loving watching the older woman transform, how she called out the younger one on her raid excitement/ignorance.
