Palestine philistine
My wife was talking to her sister the other day. Fiona watches the news, while Sam reads OK magazine. The conversation went like this:
- Sam:
OK's really good at the moment, it's got some great stuff on Jordan.
- Fiona:
What's going on in Jordan that's of interest to OK readers?
- Sam:
What?
- Fiona:
The country, Jordan.
- Sam:
There's a country called Jordan?
(SMH)
For those of you in blessed ignorance, Jordan—AKA Katie Price—is a surgically-enhanced, very minor British celebrity. And even then, only if you're wantonly liberal in how you define celebrity
. In fact, I think the correct term might be [cough] personality
.
Yes, I do realise that Jordan is not Palestine, but it's close enough and Jordan philistine
didn't sound as good.
In recognition of how trivial Price's celebrity status is, I'm not tagging this post celeb
. Aren't I just the little bitch? Tee hee hee.
