Paris Hilton Plans to Travel to Rwanda

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on Sep 26th 2007 at 11:55AM

Fresh off of getting kicked out of this year's Oktoberfest, Paris Hilton is planning a trip to Rwanda to "bring more attention to what people can do to help," she told E! Online.

I'm not arguing the fact that more attention should be directed towards countries like Rwanda, but is the type of attention that's wanted or needed? I'm not sure. On one hand, hordes of Hilton fans will actually hear the word "Rwanda" mentioned, and maybe half of those will realize it's a country (and not just a Don Cheadle movie). A few of the remaining might bother to look it up on a map or check Wikipedia to figure out why the hell Paris Hilton is going there in the first place. So I guess not all is lost.

Unfortunately for her, there's no Hilton hotel in Rwanda.

I dont think there is bad or good attention giving to Rwanda, as long as there is some.

I think people is giving much importance to Paris Hilton that she's giving to herself.

She's not a bloody dictator shes just a rich blond girl who sometimes does some stupid things.

Haven't the people of Rwanda suffered enough?
