I apologize up front for mentioning Britney and Paris. Not that I particularly hate them. I really try to just leave that sort of thing alone. I find obsession with celebrity invasive, cheap, and a declaration that I have nothing better to do with my time. However, the duo has entered the political arena, in a way, which is something I do talk about some on this site.
So most of us have heard about the McCain ad that declares Obama is bad because he is a "celebrity." While some of you out there may be scratching your head, thinking, Man, what the hell kind of pathetic ad is that, you would be wrong. The brightest thinkers and scholars of rhetoric around the country have backed the logic of the McCain ad:
"Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are celebrities. They are pretty much thought of as being worthless, do-nothings whose big achievements are pretending to be far dummer than they are, making shitty music, making segz tapes, and serving time in rehab or jail. Obama is a celebrity, too. Therefore, he is bad."
