Save for handbags and tiny dogs. Seriously, I'm disturbed when any hollywood personality offers up a political opinion. They're best suited for raising awareness and money for the hungry, homeless, and sick children. Until they've held a real job, raised & supported a family, or otherwise gain real-world experience, their position means nothing.
The point of the ad was not that being a celebrity is bad, rather it implied that being a shallow celebrity with no accomplishments of note to warrant such celebrity is not necessarily worthy of praise.
You're talking about the McCain ad, I'm talking about the Paris ad. McCain is putting Paris down in his ad, and she has every right to come back at him, in celebrity mode. You were the one getting out of joint about how she "called him wrinkly old white dude", like maybe she was making a serious statement, but she wasn't, she's just a celeb using her media power to have a little young person fun. McCain put her in play, she didn't ask him to. McCain has to eat her response. Whether she earned it or not, is arguable. She HAS it. She didn't have it, and many in her position still don't have it. So, she earned it. She had advantages to begin with, but others have had the same advantages and not attained her celebrity. They may not have wanted it. Personally, its a non issue to me. I don't buy people magazine or watch celebs any more than I have to. But I think Paris wants the celebrity, she has cultivated the media's attention, and she has been successful at it where many others have wanted it but failed to attain it. She's smarter than many think, as she manages her image. This is her career. She has had a successful TV show (which I hated and would not watch), not everybody can say that. She has cultivated her celebrity by being "bad", just like Coulter has cultivated her celebrity and career by being caustic. Just a different schtick.
I'm talking about your statement. I understand what the air headed bimbo is doing. But you are giving her way to much credit. This was not her idea. She has no ideas. She once was surprised to learn that people worked and other people gave them money for it.
You give her far too little credit. How much walking around money has she made for herself, and you think she has no ideas? The lady knows PR, and she has exploited it so this person who can't sing or dance well, or do standup, can make millions for doing "The Simple Life". She is talentless in many conventional ways, but smart as heck in public relations.
She has also learned that when a judge says "be on time" he means "BE ON TIME":lol: One of the greatest moments ever was seeing her ball like a little school girl yelling for her mommie as they sent her off to jail. They should have kept her there longer.:thumb:
So who here is buying the claim that McCain used the original ad to invoke the racist tendencies of the South by showing a black man with 2 "attractive" white women? I don't want the political answers and all the other BS, i just want to know if, when you saw that ad, you immediately thought "Oh, That SOB is stealing our white women/white children?" I can honestly say that i never even thought of that (still don't) till a bunch of Obama supporters got in my face at a party trying to claim that McCain'08 is racist.
Since you asked, I did not. I just thought the ad was plumb stupid and irrelevant. I saw no "issue" in a presidential election, just fluff. It make McCain look like a lightweight fluff irrelevant guy to me, that he could pay money to run such a stupid ad.
OK. I'll agree with you so I can show Red and gumborue that the "idle rich" can earn their own money.
