On Funny or Die today, they've posted a response video to John McCain's infamous Paris and Britney ad.
I guess this is funny. Mostly the part at the beginning where they call John McCain old. The Paris part kind of hinges on the gag that we expect her to be dumb, but then she busts out a reasoned and viable energy plan, throwing us for a LOLoop. But, it's pretty clear from her delivery that she had to be taught her lines through a combination of phonics and rebuses. Oh, and that economic plan? Neither reasoned nor viable. Nice try, Paris.
Paris obviously has some marketing savvy… she can turn anything into a PR boost for herself
I think that it's a very smart way to get back at McCain. It's nice to see humor in politics. You may not like Paris, but this was a very interesting thing to pull off.
On a side note, I would prefer to hear the candidates speak of real issues instead of playing around with who's a celebrity and who isn't.
We just posted ringtone-ready audio from the clip over at Entertonement: http://entertonement.com/collections/1613/Paris-Hilton?page=1
