Paris Hilton: Terrorist on the Run!
In what may just be the best screw-up on a national news show ever, yesterday's Today Show inadvertently confirmed that Paris Hilton is indeed what is wrong with America when it accompanied a promo of its "Terror Within" segment with footage of the beleaguered heiress leaving the MTV Movie Awards. The resulting pastiche is truly magically delicious -- particularly when Paris hops into her chaffeured SUV just as Matt Lauer is gravely intoning that the fourth suspect in the JFK airport bombing plot is "still on the run."
One has to wonder if the mistake was not a mistake at all, but merely the brainchild of an overworked, underpaid intern, trapped somewhere in the bowels of Rockefeller Center with nothing but an overdeveloped sense of schadenfreude and an underdeveloped sense of job preservation. Now that's hot.
