I don't get all of this craze for Paris Hilton.

4. I don't find her hot at all..
but she is rich, and dumb.

thin doesn't mean you have a nice body, it just means you aren't fat.
this is just assuming that any attraction is based solely on physical appearance, because she's dumb as a box of rocks, and ignorant to boot!!


:eyes:

5. That reminds me of highschool...
when the star wars nerds would say that the prom queen wasn't hot.


More proof that she's popular.

6. why do you say that?
Many men don't find the skinny look to be attractive. Is this so hard to understand?


i've only seen her picture on DU where people seem to post alot about it. Amazingly, NPR did a small story on the TV show where she works on a farm or whatever.. sounded like more reality drivel to me, but i don't watch tv anyway.


that's hot..

17. That is what my husband usually says, too
"Many men don't find the skinny look to be attractive. Is this so hard to understand?"

According to him, he knows few men who actively prefer the "bones showing" look. Personally, I think society is going to have to come to terms with the fact that women are supposed to have flesh softening their frame.

30. As for me, I prefer the muscular jock-chick look
But I do like the girl from "Love Actually" as well. Basically meat on the bones, whether muscle or soft tissue. I just don't like the skin and bones look.

But per Paris Hilton - shes a rich brainless slut - lots of guys like this combination. I can't say it doesn't appeal to my reptilian brain, but then again guns and Hummers appeal to my reptilian brain - doesn't mean I have to listen.

9. No, she really isn't very hot...
and I don't hold her vapidity and inherited wealth against her "hot-ness" I've enjoyed the company of many possibly stupid, but beautiful women. She just isn't very pretty.

23. Look closely at her face.....
:evilgrin: she's funny looking. Honestly.

it's like when men (no women I know) say Anna Kournikova is hot. Ouch. She looks like Boris Yeltsin. :nuke:

She has an odd look to her.

18. I don't know who Paris Hilton is
But some of those links are toxic if you have Windows Media Player.

I like my codecs just the way they are, thank you, and ain't no green girl gonna make me change 'em.

Phhhhhhhht!

13. I'll be honest here, I DO find her quite attractive
But she's as dumb as Dubya, so out the door she goes!!!


In my book, if you don't have the brains to back up the breasts----

bye bye:hi:

28. Actually she has neither breasts nor brains
Though thin and small is preferable to thin and artificially-inflated. I'll give her credit for that.

15. there is no reason to hate on the girl
she is just doing her thing. If you don't like her then don't pay attention to her.

20. It's just that with her means, she could be doing so much good...
for humanity. With her wealth and contacts, and yes, good looks, not many doors wouldn't open for her. She could be a force for good to be reckoned with.

Instead, she chooses to squander her gifts by being a useless, marginal celebrity who thinks that acting trashy and stupid is the ultimate contribution.

What a waste.

21. she is only 22, why can't she just be a kid?
I'm 22 and I do the world very little good right now. Some day I hope to make a contribution, but I think it is fair that I get to play while I'm young.

29. It's way past just 'playing'
You may like to play, but I bet you are smart enough to behave decently in public. I bet you don't have a sex tape and a beaver shot circulating on the Internet. I bet you don't get into catfights in clubs with girls whose boyfriends you did. I bet you don't go out in 'Got Blow?' t-shirts.

There's playing, which is what I did at 22, too, and then there is, of all the possibilities your wealth opens up to you, choosing to live like a crack ho. Not the same thing.

22. Our Li'l Par-eee
She's just the cutest thing ... cute as a button, as it were. And all the big, bad old world wants to do is to hurt her. Life can be so unfair!

Poor little Paris ... come to Uncle BKL, he'll dry your tears and buy you an ice cream and make you feel all better.

Of course, I feel the same way about Mary Kay Letourneau, Susan Smith, and . The poor things!

And I don't understand the controversy over the Olson Twins, Hillary Duff (scroll down a little), and Jamie Lynn Spears.
(That's not pedophilia, that's art, damn it!)

I'm just an old-fashioned kind of guy.

--bkl
And if you believe any of that, you've got more psychiatric problems than I do.

27. Excessive media buzz due to upcoming TV series and Internet sex tape flap
Not the same thing as 'popularity.'

I remember when people poked fun at Princess Diana for having attended a Swiss finishing school instead of college. In Paris' case, a Swiss finishing school would be a huge improvement. She might learn how to behave in public.
