Fox: "I've got an idea, lets throw the two retarded hookers into a middleschool to teach!"

article

The Fox TV reality series "The Simple Life" will not be using a South Jersey school as the setting for one of its episodes.
"The show will not come to Cleary School," Buena Regional School District Superintendent Diane DeGiacomo said Monday night.
...
Producers of the hit show starring racy heiress Paris Hilton had approached school officials in December, offering to pay $5,000 to film an episode at a school in the mostly rural community 30 miles west of Atlantic City.
This season's episodes will have Hilton and co-star Nicole Richie traveling the country trying their hand as interns at various jobs. The idea for the Buena episode was to have Hilton and Richie work as substitute teachers and cafeteria monitors at the J.P. Cleary Middle School.
School district officials initially were amenable to the idea, and permission forms and a letter from the show's production company were sent home to parents last week.
But some responded angrily, saying that Hilton, whose celebrity was fueled by an X-rated home video that made the rounds of the Internet, was not a fit role model for middle school students.
"I just feel that it's ludicrous that the Board of Education and the administration would invite Paris Hilton to teach 11-, 12- and 13-year-olds, and Nicole Richie, too," parent Sue Barber said last week. "Their reputation leaves a lot to be desired."
...
She said she believed that a majority of the community did not object to the show being done there, and noted that 340 parents had returned forms giving their children permission to participate, while only 34 said no.

Who are these 340 parents that said "yes"? Just how rural is this school? I'm under the impression that noone in the area can recieve television signals, nor any other news source whatsoever.
Let me remind you, Paris Hilton became famous because she released a sex video on the internet. The least she could do is have some professionals put it in a box and sell it in places that only cater to adults, but she just threw it out over the internet. Had she sold the video, there would be evidence that there is atleast one half-witted thought to have come out of her head – she would have been motivated by money (I think she's been disinherited, so she might not have that much money). But, no, she left herself without the slightest excuse.

First off, the guy who decided to have Simple Life 2 is a complete moron, fire that idiot. Remember that Joe Millionaire thing? The first got ratings, the second crashed almost as fast as Howard Dean. There are almost no reality shows that manage to have a second season, for good reason – people finally wake up and the neurons in their head start to fire properly when the series ends. They could have at least replaced Nicole Richy, or whoever she is, with someone else, just to mix things up a bit.
Note: rant. You can scroll to the "end rant" note if you want
Why not grab Carman Electra? I hear she's not the brightest tool in the shed. Now, who was the hot model who practically destroyed her career by moving to a cabaret in Brazil for about two years? Maybe they should try Angelina Jolie, whom I think is the most overrated actress on earth. Seriously, watch her try to act, she simply can't. I only saw one short clip of Tomb Rader 2; it was the part where Angelina was making out with some guy, and yet still talking about business or something boring. It was painful to watch! Angelina Jolie was making out, and I changed the channel, it was that bad. The only good movie she has been in was Sky Captain, and that movie stayed good because Angelina was in only about 3 minutes of actual film. Does anyone agree with me on this? Yes, I know she is hot, and I know it's plastic, but I think she is a horrid actress. She can't even get an accent to either sound correct or sound like something that could possibly be an accent at all.

end rant
Yeah, replace Richy with Angelina Jolie, and then you can get some ratings for the second season, but Jolie would probably cost upwards of 50 million.

Now, for the even worse idiot who wanted to send Dumb & Dumber to a school. If they are substitute teachers, what class do you think they will want to teach? They would teach sex ed. And, on that day, the class would be watching a video. To be more exact, they would probably watch the Paris Hilton sex tape. I don't think Fox can handle lawsuits that would stem from the fiasco.

Further, how did the schoolboard give initial approval? I can't imagine a schoolboard, which should be intelligent because it works at a school, taking that type of risk for a mere $5000. The kids at that school are worth a lot more than five grand.
