Southpark’s “Stupid Spoiled Whore” Actually Got Something Right

I am sure by the time I post this blog, everyone has seen the McCain ad featuring Obama, Hilton, and Spears. I am even more sure that everyone has seen Paris’ rebuttal ad either on CNN, Funny or Die, or somewhere else on the wonderful world wide web. (wwww.com?) If you haven’t seen the ad, see below for a free view.

Before I congratulate her, let me preface this by saying I have been a longtime member of the Hilton Haters. Though I have always had some respect for Nicki, Paris has always left me with a sour taste in my mouth and a look of befuddlement on my face. I have been baffled by girls, both in high school and college, who worship her. To this day, the episode of South Park making fun of Paris Hilton is one that is almost too close to reality to be satire and reigns as one of my faves.

However, this will be the first (and probably last) time that I say “Kudos” to Ms. Paris Hilton. I was both astounded and amused at her involvement in dirty politics- she fits right in. Instead of being annoying, she is surprisingly witty- even if she is sunbathing in a leopard print cutout one-piece during the ad. However her vocabulary still has not matured past referring to others as “bitches” and her excessive use of  the word “hot.” Though the lines that didn’t involve the word “hot” or “bitches” were unlikely written by Ms. Hilton, they weren’t half bad. At least she can POSE as being interested in political issues- as long as there is a camera ready, of course.

It appears to me that Paris is at her best when she acts like herself- a stupid spoiled whore. Everyone likes a person who can poke fun not only at the expense of others (which she does to McCain with glee), but at the expense of themselves. Especially when you are a 5’11 – blue eyed- platinum blond- 125 lbs heiress.

In my opinion this is Paris best move in the media yet, even if she was practically handed the publicity by McCain. At least it is a hell of a lot more original than a sex tape, jail stint, and finding God. If Paris keeps this up, she may end up having more fans than foes. God help us all.
