How did we fall so low so fast

[DonMike]

Well, we haven't had a celebrity for celebrity's sake since the 70's. But at least then they had personality. I mean, what else would Barbie Benton, Lola Falana, Brett Sommers and Rip Taylor do? But at least they were fun to watch. Paris is just vapid and dumb but she's not even fun dumb. But a friend of mine is convinced it's an act and one day she's going to come out and say the whole stupid thing was a big joke and that she's put one over on the world.

I dunno. I'm not really that bitter towards her. I just posted this to entertain Jasun because he hates her so much.

[Jasun]

Oh, now, you know that there's someone else I'd RATHER you let loose on, but we'll just keep that to ourselves, shall we?

Getting back to the original point, I don't see one tiny hint of correlation between the GLBT community and the Hilton's. I mean, can you imagine someone in some pride meeting bringing her name up. What in the world did they base their decision on ?

I'm gonna guess they decided they needed someone who had worked hard for the gay community, stood up for our rights, was a major champion of human rights in general and had been a figure prominant in the community.

But then they just said "No, fags are shallow, stupid, morally bankrupt, obsessed with people who are famous for being famous, platic and only there if there's something in it for them", and found Paris Hilton.

Where are those rotton tomatoes?

Paris is just vapid and dumb but she's not even fun dumb.

Well in my opinion am glad she is doing this. She is supporting our gay community and it should serve to educate other str8 people as well.

Usually Pride committees pick celebrity grand marshalls that have been involved for years, decades or lifetimes working for glbt causes.

I like Paris. She's got the brains enough to marry a billionaire. She's not going to get her fortune until her mom is gone and her mom is young. So hats' off to her for using her celebrity and social status to snag a greek billionaire. Not bad.

She's just a kid with alot of time and money to burn and no one to have to answer to. I think most people would act the same way.

[curiousbunny]

If she is on the news even when her dog is missing, what does that tell you? I think they made a good choice. We will get more attention since she is "hot" right now.

And that teaches people what? That we can afford the very cheapest?

Well.. I hope she comes down with full body herepes the day before the parade.

But I'm mean, apparently.

How is she supporting the community? She's getting paid a heap of cash to sit in a car in a parade for an hour.

How is this going to educate straight people?

I don't get how having America's Favorite Bimbo in the LA parade is going to teach anyone anything.

Well at least she's doing it. Try offering George Bush the role.

[Jasun]

my point, curious bunny, is that gay pride day isn't a public relations day for straight people, it's a day that's for US.

the grand marshall of the parade should be someone who at least has done SOMETHING for the community other than be trashier.

[curiousbunny]

my point, curious bunny,

I do understand your point. I agree that she is not even involved but
oh well I just dont hate paris LOL. I would of picked Julianne Moore if
it was my choice.

At a time where glbt causes are finally getting attention they deserve, a time when corporations are reviewing their rights and protections, a time where states are contemplating gay marriage issues, a time when alot of straight people are noticing that gay issues involve basic human rights... in this extremely important time for gay rights and issues, who does L.A. pride pick to represent their community ?

Paris Hilton and her mother ...

I mean, it's their parade and all but really, this is just mind boggling :mental:

[Squirt]

I like the fact they're well put together, confident, and don't give a shit what people think.

The Gay "scene" for the most part is shallow.. that's why I'm not part of it, but I don't think being shallow is the reason they picked them. My .002 cents worth :high:
