In the episode, the fourth-grade girls (except Wendy) idolize the rich, famous, spoiled socialite Paris Hilton, many of them owning Hilton's brand new toy set, which comes complete with a video camera, night vision filter, play money and a losable cell phone. Disturbed by the corruptive influence the trashy celebrity has on young girls in South Park, one of the town's citizens challenges her to a "whore-off".

Plot

A crowd are gathered to see Paris Hilton make an appearance at the local mall, where she announces the opening of a store called Stupid Spoiled Whore. Wendy is appalled by the blatant objectification of women, while her friends embrace the store. Later, at a friend's house, Wendy is confronted with the Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset. Wendy exits in horror, leaving her friends to recreate Hilton's sex tape. Meanwhile, Hilton's dog, Tinkerbell, commits suicide due to the miserable life of being her pet. In her throes of sorrow, she sees Butters, and wants him as her replacement pet, putting him in a bear costume and calling him "Mr. Biggles".

Wendy brings her father to the Stupid Spoiled Whore to investigate the matter. While he is initially appalled, he is quickly manipulated by the overly sexual women into accepting the store. Bebe announces a Stupid Spoiled Whore party at her house, and they refuse to invite Wendy. Meanwhile, Butters introduces Hilton to his parents. Hilton offers them $200 million for Butters, who doesn't like the idea, but his parents insist on discussing it alone. They tell Butters that he needs to be able to match Hilton's offer himself if he wants to stay, and suggest he try coal mining, but he is unsuccessful. Upon seeing a photo album in Hilton's limousine, he discovers that all of Hilton's previous pets killed themselves.

While Cartman unsuccessfully attempts to disguise to enter the party, Wendy seeks help from Mr. Slave to try to become like all the other girls. After explaining to Wendy that being a whore is something that can't be taught, he rushes to break up Bebe's party. Butters escapes from Hilton's captivity, and runs into the party. Hilton appears just in time to hear Mr. Slave telling all the girls that being a whore is not an enjoyable life and that Hilton is a nobody. The two then get into an argument over who is the bigger whore, which culminates in Hilton challenging Mr. Slave to a Whore-Off. Mr. Slave wins when he stuffs Hilton into his anus, then delivers a speech criticizing the parents for not knowing that being a whore "is supposed to be a bad thing" and tells them to be better role models toward their daughters. Butters is happy to have escaped living with Hilton, but now must face the wrath of his parents. Inside Mr. Slave's colon, Hilton meets the Frog King, who sends her on a quest.

Response

Paris Hilton reacted to the episode by saying, "I haven't seen it, but when people copy you, that's like the most flattering thing, so whatever people can say, I just laugh about it. It doesn't matter to me."[1] To this, South Park co-creator Matt Stone reacted, "That shows just how fucked up she is. That's terrible that she's flattered by it."[2] The British newspaper The Guardian has rated the episode as one of the top ten episodes of the 2000s.[3]
