Paris Hilton recently released a response video to John McCain’s controversial “Celebrity Ad,” in which a female narrator refers to Barack Obama as “the biggest celebrity in the world” while alternating between clips of Obama and shots of Hilton and Britney Spears. Hilton’s video starts out with a male narrator speaking in an epic manner: “He’s the oldest celebrity in the world,” the voice declares as pop culture images flash by, “like, super old.” McCain’s oldness is further described, and then Paris Hilton coms onscreen, lounging in a swimsuit with a copy Conde Nast Traveler. Hilton explains that she, too, is a celebrity, but isn’t “promising change like that other guy; I’m just hot.” However, Paris continues, since that “wrinkly white-haired guy” used her in his campaign ad, it must mean that she’s running for president- and she’s TOTALLY ready to lead. She explains her proposed energy policy, and then adds that she’s considering Rihanna for her vice presidential running mate. Paris concludes by mentioning that she might paint the White House pink- cue the “I’m Paris Hilton and I approve this message, ’cause I think it’s totally hot.” My favorite part is the banner at the bottom of the screen that reads: Paid for by Paris Hilton, approved by everyone.

Although I am in no way a fan of Paris Hilton, I find this parody video to be a funny and snarky comeback at McCain for using Hilton’s image in a not entirely complimetary manner. McCain’s actions seem particularly rude given the fact that Hilton’s parents are supporters of the candidate and have donated to his campaign. So, good for Paris…although, I’d spring for Charlize Theron or Natalie Portman for VP.
