Given the tendency to handsomely reward the less educationally advantaged, Gemma Worrall may have a bright future ahead of her.
If you haven’t heard of her, she’s the British 20-year-old beauty salon receptionist from Blackpool who became an overnight Twitter sensation last week with her ludicrously misspelled and misinformed observation on the Ukrainian crisis.
If you really did miss it – and sadly for Gemma’s IQ score not many did – it went thus: ‘If barraco barner is our president why is he getting involved with Russia, scary.’
She’s had more than her comeuppance for the public display of ignorance, with 7,000 re-tweets of her observation, making news as far away as Australia.
But I have a feeling it will be Gemma – and all the other beautiful girls like her – who will have the last laugh.
Thery probably have a far brighter future than young women who model themselves on intelligent people. Think Kardashians or any American music star for that matter.
Think about it. Gemma’s had numerous interview requests and been wooed with promises of thousands of pounds for prime-time TV appearances.
With those 14 ditzy words, Gemma achieved what millions of well-informed girls – who could find Ukraine on a map in an instant – have failed to do. And that’s to be recognised and rewarded.
Times have changed and the value system seems to have gone into reverse. The only ones who hit the headlines and make the money are those who work hard… at being in the gym or at the tanning salon.
It’s not brains that line your pockets or attract admiration today.
