Radar magazine continues to severely underestimate the intelligence and tastes of its readers by exposing them to the wisdom and inner workings of Spencer Pratt's brain. In fact, apart from giving him a weekly Q&A advice column online and a print column to match, the people at Radar lavish the "Hills" mock-resident villain with praise, calling him a "reality-show Machiavelli" and claiming "it quickly became obvious that the kid had a future... in the magazine business. [...] This time around he'll be fielding queries from regular folks with regular problems," they also add, before offering samples of Pratt's incredible maturity and wisdom. Among the victims, that is, beneficiaries of his advice column, there is a guy who needs some advice about surviving on his own finances

"I'm 24 and [...] my parents finally cut me off. Do you have any suggestions on how I should budget myself so I can keep living large without going broke?" comes the question. Spencer's advice: fake it, pretend and then find yourself a woman to support you financially. Yes, pretty much like the mock-reality series in which he stars, and it goes to show that the reality TV industry has actually sunk to an all-time low. Here's Pratt's full-length reply to the guy's query, "Just keep up appearances. Buy knock-off designer threads, fake ice, go to expensive restaurants, and order only soup and a cranberry juice. Don't buy girls drinks unless it's a special case. Or just get a rich girlfriend. Nobody says there's anything wrong with a sugar momma if you treat her right".

Essentially, it's all about appearances. However, even though this kind of mentality may prevail among Hollywood's swishing young men elite, it's probably not a very good idea to put it on display. In the end, Spencer's advice is not "get a better job and earn more", but "pretend, give up your fierce male pride and live off a lady". Which does not a Machiavelli make, but rather a lame douchebaggy kind of guy who will eventually lose all self-respect and end up a joke. But as long as it's Spencer Pratt giving the advice, there's no messing with his evil genius mind - all we can do is stop, stare and walk away laughing.
