Paris Responds to John McCain

A few days ago, John McCain’s campaign released an advertisement sandwiching Barack Obama between Paris Hilton and Britney Spears while a narrator talks about his status “the biggest celebrity in the world.”

The ad brought quick condemnation from a number of sides, including Paris’ mother, Kathy Hilton, who told the Huffington Post it was “a complete waste of the money John McCain’s contributors have donated to his campaign, … a waste of the country’s time and attention, … and a completely frivolous way to choose the next President of the United States.

Kathy Hilton and her husband, of course, have donated $4,600 to McCain’s campaign, the maximum allowed by law, all prior to the production of this ad.

Now Paris has her own response — a parody video that belongs aside Obama Girl’s “I’ve Got a Crush on Obama” for one of the best this election season:

Change You Can Photoshop: Funny, but Worthless

YouTube Preview Image

So the McCain camp has released this new commercial. The good news? It’s creative and slightly entertaining. The bad? The best thing they have to complain about is that Obama’s campaign creatively altered the presidential seal for a rally.

More unfortunate for the GOP is that no one in the general public actually cares about the seal issue, particularly when McCain and his wife don’t pay their taxes.
