Yes, she would have made a great ambassador to UNICEF under the Clinton years.

Even Madonna (the fake one) will not let her children watch what she has done to "make it"...she didn't give a hoot that other people's children might be watching, as long as the money was coming in.

The "culture" hasn't embraced her. She's more of a joke celebrity than a real one.

For how long? Years? Months? One night?

Here's the big question: How, as a society, did we allow Paris Hilton to become a cultural icon?

Diversity, baby, diversity.

Yes, in a free society those who push the cultural envelope will get attention. A popular culture will inevitably seek the new and different. Sometimes it will be cheap and tawdry.

But like Winston Churchill said about democracy, all of the alternatives are worse. Attempts to control the culture by any "elite", self appointed or elected, religious or "sensitive", can only lead to the loss of liberty.

Add Eminem to that list of hypocrites.

It's not about decline of standards; it's about the rise of niche marketing. You can put together an ad that annoys or even offends 90% of the people watching it, because if 10% like it, you're probably going to gain market share. McDonald's could never run an ad like this, but a minor player can.
