c/d: paris hilton

My grammar is bad there: Hans Christian Andersen is better read in the voice of a nice old man who has been asked to read a story to his grandchildren but is too drunk to focus on the pages, and so just makes everything up instead.

i enjoy christopher hitchens (and julie burchill &c &c) in much the same way i enjoy paris hilton! but not to the extent.

(nb i did not click on that article because i do not enjoy hitchens so much that i want to read about him wanking over hilton)

It'd be funny if he were some kind of hardboiled private detective or renegade cop, but these days it's like "hey, didn't you used to know XX?" and he goes "lemme tellllll you somefink about XX, I useta have respect for that sonofabitch, but then he said he liked FRUIT MENTOS, and now bloated amoral GIT is WORSE THAN NAZIS, he cannnn ZZZZZZZZ"

Have you been reading the letters of Kingsley Amis? Dude wrote letters just like this.

"Andershen, that'sh MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE that oughta hold the little bashtards..."

So which was Hitchens' best album?

hey you, "hoi" means "the" in greek, so you just said "the the people," but maybe you meant that.

Hoi polloi is Greek for “the common people,” but it is often misused to mean “the upper class” (does “hoi” make speakers think of “high” or "hoity-toity"?). Some urge that since “hoi” is the article “the hoi polloi” is redundant; but the general rule is that articles such as "the” and “a” in foreign language phrases cease to function as such in place names, brands, and catch phrases except for some of the most familiar ones in French and Spanish, where everyone recognizes “la"—for instance—as meaning “the.” “The El Nino” is redundant, but “the hoi polloi” is standard English.

btw, for all i know, "über" only means "over" in german, its use as an intensifier's being an english invention, so if you wanna get nitpicky you have a world of trouble in front of you.

pretty good Hitchens piece. i'm not gonna fault him for teaming up with 90% of the male population in finding Paris' cockmanship less than stellar.

yeah i was just joshin with the TOMBOTS

um it's cockSmanship, mr styleguide

(I don't think "uber" is used as an intensifier in English, or at least no more than the equivalent "over" is (overlord, overmind) -- it's an intensifier by spatial metaphor, let's say.)

(There is at least one translation of Andersen that says stuff like "so he went back to school to talk to the trolls -- because did I mention this was a school for trolls? cuz it was -- and he told them...")

"Uber" is gamer slang, I believe adapted from Nietzsche's concept of "das Uebermensch".

I don't mind admitting that I, too, have watched Hilton undergoing the sexual act.

I feel out of it and old because I have no desire to watch someone I detest suck a dick. (They can go do it, I just don't need verification.)

"undergo" is a weird verb choice for "the sexual act"

I have never looked for this, either. I can't think of any time it's even occurred to me to want to, and assuming I had ever been in the mood, I'm certainly sure it wouldn't be worth typing that particular search into google and wading through to the objective.

I think "uber" is used as an intensifier in english in the same way that "super" is

xpost he is being writerly and emphasizing her "passive" blankness?

(i usually find it a rather aggressive blankness, but i also can't imagine her going down on anyone)

RJG "SUPER" IS JUST LATIN FOR "ABOVE," NO???

yeah, i've never actually seen it. what i want to know is: did hitchens have some kind of journo connection that got him a copy of the real deal?

never seen it and couldn't care less

um it's cockSmanship, mr styleguide

"undergo" is a weird verb choice for "the sexual act"

from what i have read, Hitchens lives a happy life with his second wife and three kids, so i don't get where all the wild accusations come from.

HAS ANYONE SEEN THE SECOND SEX-TAPE BTW? they say it contains Paris and Nick Carter doing the dutty. should be hot.

RJG "SUPER" IS JUST LATIN FOR "ABOVE," NO???

pretty much

dutty?????????

RUN, SEAN PAUL! RUN!

it's a great way of expressing how devoid of carnality it was.

the fucking itself is very boring and bored-looking, but the bj isn't bad. Seemed to do the trick, anyway. No it does not look like she's all that awfully into it, but does anyone watch porn to see two people who love each other very very much?

That said, I don't believe I have ever... uh... used the Paris Hilton tape. I deleted it pretty quick.

no but porn actors earn their pay by faking "being into it"

Little known fact..."über" as a slangy intensifier dates back to the popularity of George "Über" Lindsay.

ok ouch at that one, wow

the fucking itself is very boring and bored-looking, but the bj isn't bad. Seemed to do the trick, anyway. No it does not look like she's all that awfully into it, but does anyone watch porn to see two people who love each other very very much?

Severina Vučković's sex-tape is highly esteemed by the connoisseurs, and for good reason: it's a real tour de force. watch it back-to-back with Paris' meagre effort and the latter's vapidity becomes all too apparent.

"connoisseurs"

Since when did tacky porn tapes get equal footing with fine wine?

"She seemed to know what was expected of her and to manifest some hard-won expertise"

Credit to Hitchens for making me giggle.

Every time I find myself wishing that porn was better, I remember that at the end of that road, I'm just a guy who knows a lot about porn.

Severina Vučković'

^^^ i had to look her up

the best take on all this i've read yet

haha "even John Podhoretz seems more confused than usual"

"undergo" is a weird verb choice for "the sexual act"

Depends if she was top or bottom. I can't remember. It was mesmerizing to watch it, the deer in the headlight type of effect, but the sex itself lacked something. It did have something: no connection to the other (the dude banging her nor the viewer). You could see the self-love (of PH) ooze off the lens. I'm sure she's very proud of the sex tape itself: it granted her admission into the world of glitz and glamour. She was semi-famous before that, but only in a featured in a clip for Vincent Gallo's Paris Hilton song kinda way.

I'm not sure if I'd want to subject myself to a Nick Carter sex tape. Ek. But if I had to choose between that and a tape of Lindsay and Aaron C getting it on... Ok, hell no, neither.

It's like boom (boom)
I put it in the hoop

PARIS COULD BE ''FORCE FED'' IN PRISON

Paris Hilton may be force fed by a drip following worries over her sudden weight loss and refusal to eat in prison.

The hotel heiress, who is serving a 45-day sentence for driving on a suspended license, has sparked concerns after losing over 5lbs in a week and appearing "weak and lethargic."

Paris' weight has plummeted to 100lbs since she was transferred back to California's Century Regional Detention Center last week.

A source was quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "After she was transferred back, Paris refused to eat. Staff became worried as she seems very thin with her bones poking out. She was also very weak and lethargic."

"They threatened to put her on an intravenous drip to rehydrate her and give her some nourishment unless she started eating. She has since managed to get a little food down, but doctors are closely monitoring her."

"She looks very pale. She's not allowed to wear make-up and her hair is matted and frizzy from washing it with soap as there's no shampoo."

Paris, 26, is reportedly only allowed to leave her cell for an hour a day, and the only human contact she has is with the doctors and three deputies who monitor her.

The "medical condition" the blonde was said to be suffering from has still not been disclosed.

They should force feed her some brain food.

She's going to turn into a gangsta rapper after this, isn't she? :-/

"she seems very thin with her bones poking out.....She looks very pale...."

? This is how she normally looks?

BESOTTED Ian Huntley is threatening to starve himself to death in a bid to see more of his gay jailbird lover.

The self-obsessed Soham killer began a hunger strike last Tuesday - and says he is prepared to die unless his latest demands are met.

Huntley, 33, says he is fed-up with being kept on the "boring" medical wing at Wakefield prison.

Instead he wants to be moved to one of the main wings, where he can be nearer to gay killer Dean Wood, 29.

The pair have become close since Wood was jailed last year for killing casino boss Barry De Lacy in Leeds.

Huntley - serving a minimum of 40 years for the murders of 10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman - is under constant watch in his cell.

That means he cannot see Wood alone there. He has also been prevented from visiting Wood in his cell, and has had four requests to be switched from the medical centre refused.

The Mirror can reveal he is taking liquids despite not eating for almost a week.

A Home Office source confirmed: "He is saying he is on hunger strike and that he is serious this time. He has not had any food for five days now. Whether he can last remains to be seen."

It is Huntley's second hunger strike, and the latest in a series of attempts to take his own life.

He has tried to commit suicide three times, most recently in September last year by taking an overdose of antidepressants.

On that occasion he spent 19 hours in a coma.

Since announcing his latest hunger strike, he has spent most of his time in his cell, where he is having regular medical checks.

He told prison staff: "I have not eaten, and I will not. It is the only way you take notice of me, and listen to my views. I want to be able to see people in my cell, not just in the day room.

"I will keep on refusing meals until my regime changes."

Insiders at the jail say Huntley has become increasingly despondent over his minimum 40-year tariff and a warning from the Lord Chancellor earlier this year that he must die behind bars.

His records show him constantly complaining about his treatment, his room on the hospital wing, and his education classes.

They also reveal prison bosses going to amazing lengths to keep him happy.

He has been given a "cushy" job on the wing, stays up late at night watching TV, is allowed to sleep in until 9 am and has bought himself a new stereo.

But he is just three and a half years into his life term, and knows he will be 70 before he can apply for parole.

Huntley's "significant events, conversations and observations" are recorded. His typical regime over a 19-hour period, from 20 past midnight on May 29 to 7pm that evening is noted.

It reveals Huntley being allowed to sleep in late - with the cell door open when it is hot. They also record his excitement at the delivery of a new stereo to the medical wing.

The staff always refer to him as "Ian", and make entries on his general demeanour and behaviour every two hours.

But Huntley remains sullen and is described as being "quiet" and reluctant to mix with other inmates. He has even complained about his prison wages.

One entry says he started smoking again because he had "lots on his mind".

But many staff are unhappy at the favourable treatment Huntley receives. One said: "He's got the life of Riley in here."

They have more in common than you think:

Not only does Paris also like wood (see various amateur videos), but Huntley
was convicted of riding an unlicensed and uninsured motorcycle.

In the last decades interest in hunger artists has declined considerably. Whereas in earlier days there was good money to be earned putting on major productions of this sort under one’s own management, nowadays that is totally impossible. Those were different times. Back then the hunger artist captured the attention of the entire city. From day to day while the fasting lasted, participation increased. Everyone wanted to see the hunger artist at least daily. During the final days there were people with subscription tickets who sat all day in front of the small barred cage. And there were even viewing hours at night, their impact heightened by torchlight. On fine days the cage was dragged out into the open air, and then the hunger artist was put on display particularly for the children. While for grown-ups the hunger artist was often merely a joke, something they participated in because it was fashionable, the children looked on amazed, their mouths open, holding each other’s hands for safety, as he sat there on scattered straw—spurning a chair—in a black tights, looking pale, with his ribs sticking out prominently, sometimes nodding politely, answering questions with a forced smile, even sticking his arm out through the bars to let people feel how emaciated he was, but then completely sinking back into himself, so that he paid no attention to anything, not even to what was so important to him, the striking of the clock, which was the single furnishing in the cage, merely looking out in front of him with his eyes almost shut and now and then sipping from a tiny glass of water to moisten his lips.

Paris' weight has plummeted to 100lbs

"plummeted"
