Paris Hilton Describes What She Likes About Africa

March 25, 2008

The bad news for Africa (and the great news for the other continents of the world) is that Paris Hilton is currently casting her wonk-eye over the magnificent plains of South Africa and telling the world what a great place it is (and a potentially untapped market for Brand Hilton).

I'm sure she's there for a reason, to sell the folks of the long-suffering continent some item of tat or to hand out some medals at a fake charity event, but I really can't be bothered to do any research on the matter. Neither can Paris, who delighted the assembled crowds in South Africa with the words:

"I love Africa in general - South Africa and West Africa, they are both great countries."

I'm a great fan of West Africa too, though the last time I looked it seemed to be a sort of collection of countries rather than a single state. Still, Paris knows best. Next step on her world tour will be South America, which she probably believes incorporates Texas and anywhere under the Mason-Dixon line.
