Paris Hilton: What Is Her Opinion On Drunken Elephants?

It's a rare boon to have the opportunity to legitimately use one of the world's top ten search terms in my blog title and content but, seeing as the opportunity has presented itself, it would be churlish of me to let is pass. So here goes:

Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton.

So, for those of you who are regular readers of my blog, a warm welcome back. For the guys who hazarded upon this site looking for naughty pics of Miss Hilton, there's a treat for you in the top-right corner.

Yes, it seems that the delectably pleathered Paris has hit the news for a pro animal rights comment she made. Or was it a pro animal rights comment? Her PR person says it wasn't.

You see, Paris recently expressed concern for the welfare of Indian elephants which had gone on the rampage after imbibing quantities of home made rice-beer.

Until Paris made her comments in Tokyo last week, very few of us were aware that there is an epidemic of elephant alcohol abuse endemic to North East India which is resulting in death and injury to elephants when they are in a state of alcoholic abandon.

For which comments Paris has been commended by conservationists. Oddly though, her publicist Lori (presumably by nature as well as by name) Berk, denied that Miss Hilton had ever made pro-pachyderm proclamations.

I think this is a great shame if one of the world's biggest celebrities (and search terms) is discouraged for the sake of "PR" from being anything other than politically neutral. But this is typical of the celebrity culture we live in, where the majority of celebrities (especially in the States) are coached in being apolitical everymen (or do I mean everywomen?).

Or maybe it's to pre empt people like me from drawing unhelpful parallels with Paris' own alcohol-soaked rampages and the elephants'.

Anyway, if Paris Hilton genuinely has concerns for these unfortunate elephants, she should be applauded for speaking her mind. I would hope, also, that it may give Paris a chance to derive some esteem from something other than that of being a vacuous, pampered socialite.

I am hoping that my use of the words Paris and Hilton will give me that little extra traffic. I suspect that there is one word which is often used along with Paris and Hilton which, should I use it, would bring me even more traffic.

Seeing as Sementivae is all for a good cause and deserves as many visitors as possible, I'm sure my regular readers will forgive me this opportunist streak:

Paris Hilton Sex.

I had to laugh and applaud your use of these popular search terms. If only I had been so clever..:)

The poor girl can't do anything without scrutiny. I'd hate to have her life.

Great Post,
Lisa
