Are rich kids really this stupid?

I loathe rich kids. The funny thing is, I love watching them live out their shallow, meaningless lives on reality TV. Not only does it give me a good view of a totally different world than my own, it is effing hilarious. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a nature show -- only with less narration and more "like..." and "that's shady" in between descriptions of random hookups.



I've often wondered about the life of the rich kid. What would it feel like to get every thing you could ever want from the moment you're born? I have a hard time when people say, "oh they have it rough, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors." Sure I do. They get the keys to a new Mercedes, then crash it three days later. Or they have a crazy pool party while their parents are traveling Europe. Or they have a 100,000 Sweet Sixteen bash, then bitch when their parents don't get them a horse.



I've recently applied a scientific theory to the Hills and NewPort Harbor. Rich people don't have to be smart. Look at the products of their procreation. These kids can't even articulate a simple sentence without saying, "whatever," or "that's ghetto." And yet, these are the ones that end up at Ivy League schools because they are legacies and well connected. The whole system makes me ill. How does Heidi already have her own office? She is engaged to a guy who painted "Hollywood," graffitti-style on their apartment wall. Did she ever finish college? I've never seen any of them go to school and somehow they landed really prestigious jobs.



Yes, I'm well aware that reality shows aren't reality. But I've actually observed rich kids that act like this. Then, the rich kids turn into rich adults and they are still just well-groomed assholes whose lives are about as fufilling as an empty martini glass. Me thinks the proletariat should have another revolution.
