OK, I have been *trying* real hard not to say anything. But the non-subscribed members get this add for a Paris Hilton photo album.
I will avoid clicking on this like...pretty much the plague.

I just don't see it. How can anyone find her attractive? Even if you surgically removed her brain, to place one that actually works in there. Take out her personality, and replace it for one that is more passable.

.......even then still, I don't see it.

Would we get clearer answers, if we take away her money too. *shock* *horror* Paris Hilton and no money....what is she to do. Something horrible as working, without camera's.

Get it?

Hmm. I kind of agree with some of the sentiment of what you're saying Madame Giry, but not totally. Like I said in an earlier post, I think some of the comments against Paris are a bit harsh, even though I don't particularly like her myself.

However ...

There is something of a contradiction in your rather impassioned argument. If the Paris everyone seems to know and hate really is just "the commercial self", a persona to sell, then you can't really criticise people for buying into it because that's what (according to you) Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie and Jessica Simpson have chosen to sell us. It's their product to the world. If Jessica S. is selling us a dumb blonde, you can't blame everyone for thinking she's a dumb blonde.

It's like when someone criticises, for example, Eminem for being misogynisitc or a homophobe - the standard reply is "You don't know him." Of course that's true, but we know the celebrity he's choosing to sell the world and the personality he's choosing to show us, so that's what the opinion becomes based on. What else would you expect?

[quote=jstkdn]Luniar, Ben would only make cash, if someone actually purchased a subscription from the Paris Hilton photo album place.[/quote](I know it won't work.)

Jstkdn, I mean that people will want to get rid of the PH banner ads, so it'll be an extra encouragement to get subscribed ASAP.

You have the power not to buy into their advertisement.

I give Angelina Jolie some credit since she is a UN goodwill ambassador. However, would I have known this if I hadn't looked her up? Probably not.

LOL Madame Giry!!!! I am seriously laughing out loud!

Hey, Jstkdn! You forgot her pose!!! You just looove it remember!

I don't know Paris (and for this I am thankful.) I don't read tabloids. I saw a few interviews with on TV, and watched one of her shows a few times. I simply couldn't take it any longer.
However, even though I try to avoid her like the plague, she keeps showing up in other shows I watch. I think she should be contained in her own shows, so I have the decision not to ever see her. :)

When you to my house Jstkdn, we were watching TV, and she was on. You were about to vomit watching her crane her neck around posing. lol

Really, I don't remember that. But I am not surprised. :) I personally can not stand people who pose like super models for pictures, while in fact they are not super models. :)

Actually, she and her sister Nicky are (I swear, I've seen them at FashionWeek).
