Baleigh: Hey look, they have the new season of Punk'd!
Me: What? No! I hate the show. Well I don't hate it, but rich people playing pranks on rich people is not something that I want to watch.
In fact, do you know what would make a good reality show? If they took away Ashton Kutcher's home, his cars, drained his bank account and set him on the streets of America just to see how he'd handle it. We'd get to see Ashton Kutcher in the homeless shelter. Ashton Kutcher in the food line. I'd watch that. Hell, I'd watch the shit out of that!
Baleigh: You're mean. </sarcasm>
Me: No, it's just that people like him make me sick. There are three types of wealth: acquired, inherited, and given.
Acquired wealth is when someone comes up with an idea and markets it, which makes money for them.
Inherited wealth is when someone is left money by the person that acquired it. Sometimes they do well with it. Other times they don't.
And then there's just the given wealth for people like Ashton Kutcher who really did nothing to earn it beyond being pretty. He was a Calvin Klein underwear model before anything else, and people gave him money for it. It's not like he has talent anyway.
Baleigh: Like Paris Hilton?
Me: No. Her's was inherited wealth, and the only reason she got famous was because someone thought it would be a good idea to take two untalented, spoiled rich girls and put them on TV.
Baleigh: Remember when we watched House of Wax just to see her die?
