Despite my, well, less-than-love (if you will) for Paris, she does make some good fake points in her fake press interview - "Nowadays sound bytes, not sound policy, determine our country's course" she boasts. Hm... I suppose there is some good truth to that statement, especially looking at how recent media coverage is affecting poll results and political chatter.
On a broader note, there's been a slew of celebs jumping on the political bandwagon - Leo and camp, and P. Diddy for starters. I'm interested to see how the combination of celebrities and their use of social media will affect this year's general election, especially amongst young voters. Oh, and Paris? Can't wait to hear more about your "FoPo" plan; you've got my vote.
Now, one last video to leave you with - "Does Celebrity Endorsements Matter in Politics" (Please don't fault me for bad grammar, it was contextual!) :) What do you think?

I don't particularly care for Paris Hilton either. However, I think this faux campaign is hilarious. It's very tongue-in-cheek, and I think it makes some of the issues more accessible to an audience that typically doesn't actively engage in the political process.
