Well, it proves McCain is no gentleman.

Being compared with Obama has ruined their reputations.

I think everyone is missing the point on this: If McCain is so conservative....why did he take $$$ from the Hilton’s in the first place? Of course, not brillant to them turn around and criticize their daughter (no matter how floozy she is)
What liberals will do to justify voting for McCain...

“Paris may be blonde, but like Madonna, is anything but dumb. She has multiple corporations, a fashion line, makes her TV appearances and board meetings on time and has kept out of trouble.”
I have always liked Paris. She should look on the bright side as she hasn’t got much publicity lately and this is huge.
I think it’s a compliment for her to be the subliminal image of miscengeneration. However, Obama would never be confused with Mandingo.

No they aren’t. A “public figure” such as a politician is not the same as a celebrity who likeness is their income.
You can use “public figures” likenesses, not celebrities.
However McCain simply compared Obama’s celebrity status to that of Paris & Britney in a political ad, so I think they’ll lose that case.

actually political speech is a fair use issue, also she is a public figure because she has assummed the role of public figure. That's what I figured...McCain has not "profited" and she has no standing as there has not been any "harm".

Paris has lead a very public life and has made a lot of money acting like a dumb blond and saying things like “that's hot” in response to almost anything said to her......need I mention her sex tape?
So living the life she has what does mom expect? Paris will be the subject of the late night talk show jokes, gossip columns and even a political ad.....

Obama's celebrity-hood was first compared to Paris Hilton by.......none other than Barack Obama himself in 2005.
It's on Michelle Malkin's blog.

actually no it would not because they are not being used to endorse mccain.
They are being held up in accord with their pubic personas of celebrity bimbo.
Hilton and spears as examples of public bimbos to go with Obama as a public bimbo.
fair use.

Hilton is a celebrity in the news constantly. As such, absent demonstrable malice and injury, she has little recourse to libel and slander laws.
I don’t see how anyone could construe the ad as McCain ‘selling’ (in the normal definition of gaining material compensation) something using by using her image.
If she wants her money back, McCain should cut her a check immediately with thanks for the extra publicity.

"And you couldn't use his name and face as part of a political ad, either, without his permission." It's parody, in case you didn't notice, and that allows for a LOT.
The ad in no way suggests that Paris Hilton endorses John McCain.

To begin with, I'm not even certain why they're offended. I don't get it. I know who Paris Hilton is because of a sex tape and crying when she had to go to jail like everyone else. And her mommy is offended?

Paris's got those "Hilton" genes - she's probably one smart cookie under all that air head persona.
BHO is smart in the same way in getting the media to magnify his persona.

I’d say safely that Hilton and Britney are public figures. I don’t see People’s magazine or ET or the other outlets getting sued for posting their photos. In fact the Paparazzi do pretty well.
