Video: Paris Hilton responds to John McCain, who used her image in an ad

Yes, this was funny in the beginning, but when she expressed her idea for a new energy policy or whatever...IT SEEMED LIKE SHE DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS IDEA, on her own. it looked like she was reading from cuecards or whatever their called.
just saying...if she didnt think of this idea on her own, then she shouldnt get praise for it.
And i didnt get the video...the mccain add had nothing to do with suggesting paris be president anything, so i think her overall comback was lame and immature.
It was a very big mistake to show 2 of the biggest bimbos and saddest female celebs out there for a presiental add. and besides.....theres ALOTT more important things going on in the world today, than some stupid commercial add. Us Americans seem to dwell our time on, and fuss about the stupidest things. sure this is just another funny thing to laugh and talk about at work or over a coffee break, but enough is enough.
It seems as if news station, reporters and magazine are desperate for news these days.
We are in a dangerous position right now, and a major global climate change is takng place. Before you know it, Penguins will be almost extinct, because their homes are being melted away. Im an 17 years old, and am disgustd with the economy i live in today. Its just sad that we chose to spend soooo much time on a gay presidential commerical, when there are FAR more importnt things to be discussing about.

The fourth horseman, by the way, comes when the Cubs win the World Series.

ok, phew.  we're safe, then.

I am left thinking about how when Paris Hilton has a history of awful behavior we assign her to this stereotype of a dumb starlet... pretty and unlikely to say anything like the words "energy policy". So just showing her image in conjunction with Obama's was meant to be an insult.

But when McCain who also doesn't exactly have a pristine record of behaving well he does not expect to be assigned to a physically stereotyped category. What Paris was doing here is to say "Well, judging you just on how you look, here's what you make me think of" and giving him a negative association from being old and white-haired.

So while I can't exactly approve of anyone saying "old = ugly and out of it and about to fall apart like a zombie", Paris was meeting McCain's rudeness with equal rudeness.

Though, it is not equal rudeness, because while McCain was insulting Hilton, that was just a by-the-way. McCain assumed that HIlton was synonymous with "whore" and with whatever is considered most negative about femininity. Rather than just suggest that Obama is "soft" on some issue and feminizing him that way, the McCain campaign went right for the jackpot and is trying to equate Obama's popularity with whoredom.

It is the other side of Social Media - big corporation or political party insults me and I have the power and the technology to respond back.

Not with an cheesy TV interview on a pseudo news program, or the help of a comedy show (not to say that a writer and a production team wasn't used in the video).

Paris got to control and project her own image and what she wanted to put out there as a response to the McCain ad.

Not that she didn't have the ability in the past. What was projected to me was rich girl for sale, will do anything for attention and $$$. Not my cuppa of tea and I ignored her.

Am I a new fan? Hell no. But I can appreciate that the video was well done, that there was an effort to mildly flip her own rich bimbo image and that this ain't my granny's election.

Ladies, if you've been wronged - define and defend yourself. How is that message wrong?
