Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux 438
lamasquerade writes "Paris Hilton has been named by the Open Source Development Legue as their next recruit in a bid to gain maximum exposure for FOSS. The new Legue's CEO, Jeremy Bleats, noted that the length of Ms Hilton's legs were a great factor in the decision and was sure to deny any links to The Red-Headed Legue. Richard Stallman was quick to label the activity a 'cheap stunt'."

Speaking of which. On Wednesday, we were at LinuxFest [iu.edu] in Indy and one of the freebies that the university was giving out where these little penguin squishy things. Two girls who looked like they just came off of the latest reality TV show came up to our booth and asked in a very gingery voice "Like, can we have one of these penguins?". I doubt they knew anything about Linux. After they left I then turned to Marina and said, you know there needs to be a new distribution of Linux called Pink Linux or something "like" that. It could have a pink gtk theme with cornflower blue icons.

Had to go there! People say what they want to say about Paris but there are some facts that no one can dispute.
1) Good looking or not, she is fashionable!
2) If you look at her outrageous outfits you will notice that they are being worn by others now.
3) That dog! How many chicks do you see now with teeny dog?
Paris rocks in my book. Not only does she march to her own drum beat, she damn well built her own drum and others want it too!
