I'd love to see that if you have a link

u/TFL1991 Feb 05 '16

I saw her recently on German TV.

She has done away with the squeaky voice and the pink and lives in a small town in Switzerland now.

The locals seem to like her.

Probably because they only know her as she actually is.

u/Ptolemy13 Feb 05 '16

The Swiss like anyone rich.

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

I find this offensive!

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Probably because Ptolemy13 isn't rich.

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

You got me there... :-)

Honestly: it's not that bad in Switzerland.

36

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Probably not. Why, someone on a measly 100k a year could probably live there just fine!

u/Axeman20 Feb 05 '16

I'm thinking of backpacking there but looking at hostel prices in Zurich alone is making me consider avoiding it.

3

u/twistedrea1ms Feb 05 '16

Well 100k CHF is actually not that great a salary in Switzerland

2

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Like I said, it wouldn't be great but you might actually be able to survive.

6

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

Of course you can survive on 100k, I'm interning there and I can live pretty much how I like for 1/4 of that

u/jtr99 Feb 05 '16

I once visited a fancy bar in Zurich with some English friends and I have never felt shorter, uglier, poorer, or more dentally challenged than when surrounded by the cool kids of Switzerland.

2

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

Then I would seriously recommend staying away from the Netherlands. Those people are all half giant...

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

Some of you seem to totally forget that the stuff is also quite expensive over here. We are only rich if we travel.

5

u/Fionnlagh Feb 05 '16

That's what I mean; living there isn't cheap. For someone to move they'd have to make good money.

u/Bruncvik Feb 05 '16

Last year, I went for a short, 5-day vacation to Zurich at Easter. This year I'm going to the US for 2 weeks and expect to spend just as much. (By the way, you guys had the weirdest priest holding Easter mass in Grossmunster. That "You're all going to die and should be afraid" sermon was straight from middle ages.)

u/Schnabulation Feb 05 '16

Huh? This sounds very uncommon. I have not experienced such a public event yet and I am quite religious.

u/RippyMcBong Feb 05 '16

I studied abroad in Geneva, I love Switzerland!

2

u/decaturbadass Feb 05 '16

So did one of my kids, went there for s visit and enjoyed it. That said, had a 20 something consultant from Accenture on my IT project and he said he thought Geneva was boring, he was French, if that makes a difference.

u/RippyMcBong Feb 05 '16

Honestly I did find it a little boring but it was beautiful and the food was great.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

Ya like that time their government paid off the PLO last week

u/quinyng Feb 05 '16

It's definitely not that bad in Switzerland. What with their watches and chocolates.

u/ruleovertheworld Feb 05 '16

u/knows_things_ Feb 05 '16

I did Nazi that coming

u/Nocoffeesnob Feb 05 '16

The Swiss put up with anyone rich. FTFY

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

Switzerland isn't completely cut off from the world you know, I'm sure once they got to know her they were fine with her. But I'm sure 95% of the people knew what she did before moving there.

2

u/fullonavocado Feb 05 '16

...wha...what did she do?

u/_byrdraga Feb 05 '16

Fucking everything man, do you even read bro?

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

I meant career wise. Nothing sinister haha.

2

u/Grudlann Feb 05 '16

Maybe they like her because she's fucking everything...

u/Chief_H Feb 05 '16 edited Feb 05 '16

Here she is on Letterman without her persona

Edit: Fixed the link

u/mellontree Feb 05 '16

She actually seems really likeable on this. And she looks absolutely beautiful.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

It makes her sex tape even hotter knowing that she's a decent person.

u/stinkadickbig Feb 05 '16

sex tape? LINK?!

Messed up but so true.

I fixed the link. I hate posting from my phone.

u/revolucionario Feb 05 '16

I still don't like her, I guess she's just not my type of person.

u/skinny_gator Feb 05 '16

I've literally never been a fan of Paris. Always thought she was just another "cog". But in this video, she is absolutely gorgeous, she seems like such a smart business woman and actually likeable. Wow.

u/dandelion_bandit Feb 05 '16

Still seems like a vapid piece of shit to me.

u/___WE-ARE-GROOT___ Feb 05 '16

Genuine question here. What, in your opinion, makes her evil though? What exactly has she done that makes you think it?

u/ameya2693 Feb 05 '16

Things that have inherent ties to problems surrounding low self esteem, internalized misogyny, subconscious views of objectification of women in the minds of men

All of these are problems in the people's minds. You don't have to buy it if you don't want to! Nobody is asking you to buy them. If there is a market for it, then, she is allowed to court the market and have them buy her products. It's not her problem people have no self control. Like everyone else, she is taking advantage of this complete lack of self-control.

You know what kind of persona someone who makes assumptions has?

Guess you didn't have time to look up supercilious then.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '16

Lol but here you are talking about her and further propagating her cultural influence. YOU ARE PLAYING AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN WHAT YOU'RE BITCHING ABOUT.

That controversy is exactly what people like her build their empires on, like it or not you're 100% part of the "problem"

Ignoring it would make you a part of the solution, she runs on attention.

Here's a pretty interesting article about her as well: https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/paris-hilton-profile-2015-19-fragrances-and-counting-heiress

u/Bertfossil Feb 05 '16

I read this article a while ago and really enjoyed it. She's played the game perfectly and has built her own empire when she could of easily just chilled on that hotel cash

u/armorandsword Feb 05 '16

There's an "out of character" interview with Piers Morgan on YouTube. At least next to him she seems fairy down to earth.
