Next stop: The Paris Hilton Summarize Proust Competition (with apologies to Monty Python’s Flying Circus).

I concur completely with j kent’s comments. Imho, it reeks of a seize the moment attempt to grab (and control) some positive / hip publicity rather than the more typical media coverage of her sans-panties crotch shots climbing out of cars clubbing with Britney, et al or semi-private(?) sex tapes, or bumbling her favorite story from reading the Bible while she did her jail stint, or, or, or… ;-]

pop-culture initiative? I think you’re giving her too much credit, this wreaks of her agent’s PR know-how. It sounds like the folks at Funny Or Die approached her with the idea first so I doubt it’s a remotely original thought on her behalf.

I thought this was very clever and hilarious. I have to say it also gave me pause because it’s so easy to hate on Paris and assume she is just a twiddley-twat know-nothing. Somehow this little bit of pop-culture initiative on her part gives me a bit of grudging respect for her.

of COURSE it was cue cards…Some of those words had more than two syllables! The only reason she can even PRONOUNCE them is because they were spelled foan-et-ik–all-eeee.

I still scratch my head why Paris is considered a celebrity. Celebutard does come to mind though. Two thumbs up for the hybrid energy policy initiative she reads from the cue cards.

Smart and funny…and quite the surprise. (not sure about the shoes, though…)
