One of the most prestigious awards given to those who seek to do good in the world is the "The Nobel Peace Prize. This award is given to the person who has made what is seen to be the greatest contribution that year to the increase of peace on our planet.
While this recognition is wonderful and well deserved, there is another category of people that I think may need to be singled out as well. These are people who are so caught up with themselves that they think just by walking in the room, goodness follows them like an odor...sorry, I mean aura. In their own mind they believe themselves to be special beyond reason.
I wrote about Paris Hilton and her belief that jail will snuff out the goodness that she brings to the "free" world. After Hurricane Katrina Joe Francis, the producer and CEO of Girls Gone Wild, donated money from one of his videos "Doggystyle" for hurricane relief. He wanted to give back to the community that had given so much to him. You can read about him in my blog "A true humanitarian" dated October 24, 2005.
What I am proposing is a counter award to the Nobel Peace Prize. I think it should be known as the No-Brains Piece of Ass Prize. This award would be presented to the one who most personifies the belief that their being adored and worshipped makes the world a better place.
I think Paris would have the nomination sewn up for this year. Applications are now being accepted for next year. Celebrity status need only apply, and nominations can be from the media and the fashion world. Oh, that right. Let's not leave out those pesky politicians.
