Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto caused a bit of a media furore when he met up with famous American reality TV star and socialite Paris Hilton in Dubai, and then posted a selfie of the get-together on Twitter with the caption ‘Had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Paris Hilton.’

We’re not sure if it was the smartest political move given that Hilton is famous only for being famous and not sometimes for the best reasons. And BBZ has often been criticised for being immature. His critics certainly had a field day with the post.

On the other hand, it’s time our politicians loosened up a bit to show they too are ‘normal’ human beings and like to do things that normal people like to do. That is, have fun.
