Paris Hilton's Presidential Candidate Spoof Ad

Coley S.
Recently, Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain launched a new and negative commercial ad that has created a lot of talk. The ad opens with shots of the cheering crowd from when McCain's rival Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama was making his speech in Berlin in front of thousands of people. The ad then features shots of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and compares Barack Obama to them stating that he is a celebrity ("the biggest celebrity in the world" per the ad) but isn't ready to be a leader and the President.

Neither Britney nor Paris has had much to say about the ad aside from the fact that they were not consulted and did not give permission for their photos, names, and images to be used by the McCain Campaign.

But, Paris has now broken her silence and come back with her own spoof ad campaign featured on the website Funny or Die. The ad opens with shots of the Golden Girls, Yoda, Larry King, and of course, Jon McCain, while an announcer calls McCain "the oldest celebrity in the world, like super old" and then asks if he is ready to lead. Then Paris appears in a swimsuit lounging on a lawn chair appears and says: "Hey America, I'm Paris Hilton and I'm a celebrity, too. Only I'm not from the olden days and I'm not promising change like that other guy. I'm just hot. But then that wrinkly, white-haired guy used me in his campaign ad, which I guess means I'm running for president. So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude. I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead."

She then goes on to discuss the energy policy and off shore oil drilling and the ad ends with her saying, "I'm Paris Hilton and I approve this message because I think it's totally hot."

I'm not a Paris fan by any means but love a little light hearted look at politics every now and then and you definitely get that from this spoof ad. So if you need a distraction from the heavy political war going on between McCain and Obama, check out this video for a good laugh!
