THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN? HAS PARIS GOT ANOTHER TAPE?

Advantages: Now with added comedy at the end, 'Demi Moore would date a baby'
Disadvantages: They are portrayed less cold hearted this season, meaning less jokes

...for a third season of the popular 'Simple Life' television series after the huge success of the two prior, and once again there was an added twist to keep the show formula fresh. This season was dubbed 'Interns' as it saw the spoilt pair taking on two-day internships at various different employments, and instead of having their luxury motorhome to stay in, they would travel to each location by bus meaning that they had double the opportunity to annoy ...
...be the million dollar heiresses show without some catchphrases to help sell the series, and with the now dated that's hot, we saw them calling each other 'sil' and 'bil', short for silly and billy of course. Even their dogs that accompanied them on the journey had their own nicknames, including 'tinks', and you never knew what was going to come out of their mouths next. Paris and Nicole even hoped to get their very own record out of the show as well, ...

Socialite to Farmer..

Advantages: HILARIOUS to watch.
Disadvantages: Girls are sometimes a bit stuck up.

...&& NICOLE RICHIE. Two of the worlds most re-knowned socialites, heiressess and up there with the prettiest of the bunch. Both have tried there hand at a musical career, both have runway and modelling contracts under their belts and both really know how to work that flirtacious smile. Now they're trying to live it SIMPLE. A hilarious comedic watch, watching two high class girls live it normal style, mistakes after mistakes after mistakes after ...
...some even funnier statements about the two and from the two. A FARM? Paris and Nicole on a farm? It is most likely the complete opposite to what these girls are used to, from bathtubs to pig troughs, from luxury meals to chicken and rice, from limosines to tractors. It can only get better from here. The best thing about the DVD format is you can rewind so easily and skip back to your favourite place easily. ...

GET THE FEELING THEY DON'T GIVE A F***?

Advantages: Nice people in their own sarcastic way
Disadvantages: Family values out the window

...she first hit on to the scene as the female Callum Best with her partying hard although ever since her stint in jail the most we have really heard about her is her relationship with Britney's ex, K-Fed. Partnered up with Nicole Richie, daughter of famous musician Lionel Richie, the two heiresses to a whole load of cash are the stars of reality television show, 'The Simple Life'. This surprise 2003 hit drew a staggering 13 million viewers upon its ...
...watching at that timeslot. Whilst the second season, 'Road Trip', saw a drop in ratings the premiere still drew 9.8 million showing people were still interested in Hilton and Richie. The concept behind the show was to introduce the pair to the simple life that many people have to lead, without all the money, and took away all the luxuries they were used to. Of course, there is clearly a smoke shield put up so we don't want to see them clearly enjoying ...

Elite Documentary about an Elite unit.

Advantages: makes you think, can be motivating
Disadvantages: none

...faced bunch of Royal Marine Commando recruits all the way through 32 weeks of basic training. With complete access to every part of the training process he follows the good times and the bad of each of the recruits and something that I felt made the documentary that little more exciting was that he also took part in the training himself, Chris Terrill was 55 years old. The Program was originally aired in 2007 for ITV; at the beginning you see the ...
...of becoming a Royal Marine Commando and receiving the coveted Green Beret so that they can become elite soldiers that look a million miles away from the guys that they were 32 weeks earlier. After the 32 weeks training Chris follows a few of the successful soldiers when they are posted to Afghanistan for a tour of duty, as well as a new officer who takes up his post in Afghanistan for his first tour with a mainly rookie company of men. I managed ...

Eye level is buy level!!

Advantages: Cheap prices
Disadvantages: Cheap labour

With the slave trade debate raging last year during the 200 commerations its always important to note that not only is that particular trade is still alive and well in the third world but its as good as here in its modern form in companies like Wal-Mart. Well meaning and angry people may well protest alongside some vegetarians banging a drum in London about what happened 200 years ago but most of the labeled clothing we are wearing will have been ...
...the products piled high in the huge shopping arenas of Wal-Mart and the like are the products of cheap and exploited labor somewhere around the world and when the documentary explores those sweat shops in South East Asia our arguments of reparation begin to fragment. In one segment you see young Chinese girls living in cramped dorms in a grubby factory, the gates locked at night, weekly rent and utilities deducted from their meager pay packets, whether ...
