You know those popups that say "Which one is Nemo" win the opportunity to give your credit card to a bunch of losers...

Well, I just saw one that I didn't know the answer for. It was "Which one is Paris Hilton" All the pictures looked basically similar. maybe that was the trick, they gave up giving you different faces to choose from.

Wow. As a young male, I'm required by law to know who she is, as well as going to great lengths to see said famed video. But to me, not knowing who she is is unthinkable.

Confidentially, though, I don't think she's actually all that pretty.

Obviously you didn't see that short-lived TV show "Simple Life" in which she tries, not very well, to endear herself to country life...

If you want to know what the Lowest Common Denominator is, just look her up.

I've heard of her, but I didn't see the TV show, and I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a crowd. I don't know what she looks like, except that I think she's blonde.

Personally, I think it's a good thing I don't know.

I would recognize the name, however, if not just because of all the times it's mentioned in the subject line of the emails that are shunted to my Junk Mail folder. [Wink]

I just thought it was the Hilton in Paris... like maybe it was a particularly famous one or something...

You're right, I hardly ever watch TV...

She's a rather attractive -- and very financially fortunate -- woman of questionable virtue, which makes her popular with people who take pictures for magazines.

tom has a good summary, although I would argue she has a stricken resemblence to a horse.

Pooka, I thought that was already determined.

Anyway, I agree. She looks like a horse, and has no talent whatsoever. As one of my favorite deejays put it, "She's only famous because she is."

I don't watch enough TV to know who she is, but I sure have been getting a lot of spam with her name in it! Confused me.

I think she's freaky-looking, and her tan is weird because it blends her hair and eyes and lips into her skin. She looks completely blank, which I'm guessing is an accurate depiction.

(I had to go back and make sure I spelled everything correctly on the first try, before bashing this girl's mental prowess or lack thereof.)

Sure I can tell you exactly what she looks like, in detail, in graphic detail. I've seen lots of detailed pictures of her all over the net.

Could I pick out her face?

Umm.

She has a face?

I went through a brief phase of watching The Simpsons a few times, and managed to see some previews for the simple life. But I was generally washing dishes, and didn't necessarily look at the TV. Is that the only reason? Was I watching Seinfeld? Suddenly I can't remember.

I don't think I know of a single Hilton (outside of NY) owned by the Hilton family. They own the name and the rights to use the name. Most Hilton hotels are owned by local businesses. The company I work for (Marcus) owns the Hilton Milwaukee City Center and several other hotels in the downtown area. They also own two chains of hotels all their own (Baymont and Woodfeild Suites).

I thought the Hiltons actually had an oil fortune?

not worth knowing. as single and unattached as I am I wouldn't touch her with a stolen "piece".(I'll leave it as such to be polite, not to her that is.)
