Marie Antoinette

"Let them eat shit!"

I had a college professor, quite convincingly, suggest that when Marie Antoinette stated the fateful sentence that got her cpu removed, that she was just being oblivious and juvenile.

“Let them eat cake!"

His rationale was convincing. She was a girl raised in a well-insulated, splendidly wealthy environment. When her family ran out of bread she declared that they should just eat cake instead, cause that’s what she does when she can’t find bread. She eats cake. He may have been on to something. Paris Hilton wasn’t a thing of controversy during my college years, but now that I think about it, I’m drawing a connection. I think Marie may have been just as dense as Paris; same situation, same ridiculously wealthy people. I’ve always wanted to feed Paris Hilton a pepper, so when she says, “That’s hot,” she’ll mean it in it’s actual context. I could also throw a cup of coffee at her. “That’s hot”. Or fly her to the sun. “That’s hot”.
