The Paris Hilton McCain Ad Was Not Funny

Off topic, but if you were in the “man that Paris Hilton campaign ad was hilarious” camp I think you need to do some soul searching this weekend.

Sure it was a “fun” idea, but the execution had “I am trying so hard to be funny and cool” written all over it.  It’s like it was tagged “funny” and “awesome” and “smart” by Paris’ SMO guys before it was even released.

Watching this lame thing wend its way through the Web and the offline media was a perfect example of just how easily the media is manipulated into broadcasting whatever message the marketer wants to project.

Imagine if someone with an actual sense of humor had made this.

I am Andrew Shotland and I approve this message.
