We’ve never tried to sum up Paris Hilton in just one word. It seemed too impossible to find one small set of letters that could bring together everything we would want to include, from sex tape to herpes to ass goiter. It was just too big of a task. But some advertisers in New Zealand have accomplished this mission with a billboard of Paris’s face above the word vacant. A spokesperson for Media5, who owens the billboard, explained:
(The poster is just) a bit of fun. Paris has a proven ability to laugh at herself. We assume that the agency has taken care of the rights to the image of Paris, but we will ask the question. We’re not trying to offend anyone.
What’s next? A billboard with Jessica Simpson’s mug above the word available?
