2. Within the margin of error, they are equally "popular".
:silly:

3. Aw. poor Paris. She doesn't deserve such scorn
After all, she had enough gumption to fight that rich girl heritage that told her that her only value to the world was in marrying well and producing an heir to the combined fortunes of her and her obscenely wealthy husband. She went out and became the media's dumb blonde du jour, instead.

I can respect that.

I can't respect Cheney.

4. Why do people hate Paris? She never shot anyone?
Or maybe the question is... why do so many still like Cheney?

6. That's my question -- what's with that?
Granted, I don't follow any contemporary "celebrities," but I can't see why she would be any less popular, than say, Jennifer Lopez.

13. Because she was born into extreme wealth and flaunts it.
She's a no talent spoiled brat and the media shoves her down our throats.

19. The thing is....
Aside from the being-born-into-wealth thing, a lot of the twenty-something celebrities strike me the same way.

16. What's so hard to understand
People resent celebrity for celebrities sake.
Unless you're actually offering something to the public through a talent, then it is widely considered that your celebrity is unjustified. A socialite is not an actor, or a musician, etc.
She is a media creation being forced down the public's throat. Shallow, vapid and without a hint of humanity. Aspiring to fame just for the sake of fame is a rather ugly thing. When it is without any substance it's even worse. And worse still when it teaches others to follow suit. Then of course there's the issues of numerous racist comments and treating people 'below' her like subhumans. In short, she's everything a progressive would be against. But if it has to be explained why Paris Hilton is loathed by so many people then I doubt any explanation would register anyway.

18. Like I said, I don't really know anything about her.
In spite of your tone, I appreciate your input because I had no idea she's known for making racist comments.

25. Ahh but do you think she's "hot" because the media says so or
do you think she's "hot" because she's attractive?

And because you believe she is "hot" would you say that she is equally hot as someone who was "hot" 50 years ago? or even as short at 10 years ago?

Just curious.

Personally, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I think she has a look, but I find her personality some what droll and thus not attractive nor hot.

10. I'm grateful Cheney doesn't go around semi-naked
like Paris.
If he did I'm sure his popularity would sink below 5%.

Small things to be thankful for...

11. The new bumper sticker should read:
"I'd rather have sex with Paris Hilton on camera than go hunting with Dick Cheney."

14. Settle it by having them wear the same outfit and let an audience choose.

22. as much as I dislike Paris Hilton,
as far as I know, she's never really caused anyone any specific harm. I doubt she would either, since she probably doesn't care enough to.
When I think of all the terrible destruction Cheney has wrecked in his unnatural life, it makes Paris Hilton look like a saint.
Paris Hilton can keep her 15%, but Cheney should be about 5% in reality(about the percentage of people who have profited from his carnage).
