No, the company is the pimp.
As for Paris, she's just an attention whore. The media is the john, in her case.
And just to set the record straight, although it's been a staple of American culture since the invention of the radio, I've always thought that celebrity endorsements are a sign of a gullible society. If you buy Gillette razors because a celebrity or professional athlete says they're better than others, doesn't that make you lacking in critical thinking skills? I mean, it really does defy logic. I just don't understand the level of celebrity worship in the U.S.
Anyway . . . . despite my opinion, it happens. But as in everything, how about a bit of moderation?
