Paris Challenges “The Oldest Celebrity In The World”

Posted by: Laer at 07:14 am

“I

‘m Paris Hilton” says the well-recognized celebrity, chihuahua in tow, “and I approve this message because I think it’s totally hot.”

So ends the celeb’s response to the ad from the campaign of the “old, wrinkled white guy,” which I’m having trouble embedding but you can see here. It’s not particularly clever, but it says an awful lot about how much campaigning has changed with 2.3 million hits on the ad since it was posted 16 hours ago. (The McCain ad has “just” 1.6 million hits on the spot I found it although it’s posted all over the Web.)

The ad has stopped Obama’s momentum like a brick wall, putting to waste the Herculean effort of BO’s globetrotting photo op, all at minimal cost to the McCain campaign. The Hilton spoof is tougher on McCain than Obama, calling him “the oldest celebrity in the world … like super-old,” so we have to ask if it will have a negative impact on his campaign.

Probably not. Besides, there’s a much more essential question that’s unanswered in all this: Where’s Britney?

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
