Paris Hilton cavorts naked in middle of desert

If Paris is selling it

Thumb Up

IT angle? Who needs an IT angle with a picture like that???

Rob

bigger pic please 

Paris Hilton

have you got a higher res version of that goldfinger pic so i can have my own personal paris on my desktop?

-I'm sure i'm not the only one keen to have something larger.. (fnar)

triky

brilliant, ham in a can ! 

Coat

oh wait, i thought that said prosciutto... dagnabit.

TeeCee

Prosecco? 

Stop

<wine pedant>

Er, Prosecco has been around for a long time in bottles and stands on its own merit (hic, pardon). It's never been one of the johnny-come-lately Champagne clones and is made from the Prosecco grape rather than the Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay used in Champagne and its copies (yeah, I had to look that latter up). Describing its not being called Champagne as an effort to avoid lawsuits from France is not only inaccurate but bloody ignorant as well.

I'd expect this sort of thing from PH (who probably describes Irn Bru as alcohol free champagne), but not you guys.

Having said all that, they deserve to be sued for putting it in tins.......

The whole point about this well-researched article is to provide us hard El-Reg students and contributers with a little well-deserved and welcome relaxation from decyphering all the rubbish that I type and, more importantly - from wondering when, how many records, about what, are about to be lost from which department next. So, in order to achieve this, the delightful Ms Hilton has chosen (JUST FOR US MIND) to pose seductively with a tin of something remotely alcoholic and leave us with a lingering subconscious message that she's about to pour it over herself and that she'd like us to lick IT off.

(and THAT's the IT angle).

@brilliant, ham in a can 

Pirate

that would be spam wouldn't it?

I always rated that at the about the same culinary level as dog food.

Classy 

Champagne in a can? Classy. Paris Hilton? Classy.

SoupDragon

Shaken, not stirred 

Coat

They decided not to run with the advert where someone off camera shakes the tin hard & opens it close to her, as it would cause a huge reduction in water pressure as cold showers were turned on simultaneously in n million homes countrywide - apparently the energy companies can cope with this sort of surge (as it were), but not water companies.

Where's the -proper- booze angle? 

Coat

I mean.. Prosecco IN A CAN?

You don't need to be PH's army of barristers'n'slaves to predict a veritable outpouring of legal papers between the Prosecco-police over here in Northern Italy.. Try convincing the Valdobbiadene producers that THAT goldeny stuff is proper Prosecco.

They'll sue The Hiltoness untile she's ..er... shirtless? then .....pantless? No, not that, damn....

Can we have a booze-angle icon? Please?

so Spam is why dogs lick their balls? To take the taste away? Ah, it's all making more sense now. Thanks for sharing ;)

Paul F

How 'very.' 

Paris Hilton

I guess all the binge drinking bimbos will want to start doing Champagne Bongs ("sparkling wine bong" just doesn't scan, sorry frenchies*).

Isn't there a facebook thing called "30 Reasons Girls Should Call It A Night” in which drunk girls in various states of shame and undress showcase themselves? I'm sure that crowd will love this stuff.

*not really sorry at all

Prosecco 

Prosecco is lovely.

Prosecco in a can is sacrilege. Burn her!

Trade Description Act 

Stop

I've seen those boobs, as have most men courtesy of the interenet, they are the worlds smallest breasts ever.

Someone, who should be ashamed of themselves, has used the morph tool in photoshop to give her a substantial pair of puppies.

This advert therefore beaks the Trade Descriptions Act.

Withdraw and grovel I say.

Paris... Sparkling wine in a can..?! 

Paris Hilton

OK, Paris is a low-rent* strumpet, but fronting for wine in a can..? I bet her mother is weeping. At least *that* woman knows class, even if she has none herself.

*Yes, low-rent. As in, she goes for the cheap.

Anonymous Coward

Advertising....... 

Thumb Down

Actually............

i dont think in the UK you can advertise alcohol beverages if they give the impression that they can make you more attractive to the opposite sex, so if her boobs are enhanced, does that mean drinking this gives you bigger boobs ?

Does it also work for men?

I mean it could have saved me a fortune I've spent years on pizza and vodka to get my man boobs where they are today.

either way I want it banned, unless she poses with natural tits.

Booze angle

prosecco & cuervo black popper

"Too bad you only die in Movies when covered in Golden Bodypaint..."

No.. actually you do. You have to leave an unpainted patch at the small of your back or you will actually die. Also, never look at the sun, even through the spotter scope or binoculars.

Angle? 

It may have been photoshopped, but I thought the (T) IT angle was clearly shown.

Mike Richards

Plonk in a can? 

Finally, something that makes wine in a box look classy.

Glenn Amspaugh

Meh. 

Her torso to leg ratio is off (legs too short).

They need to spray paint more women and provide more choice.

Ashley Pomeroy

Paris Hilton

Is there anything more classy than champagne in a can? Vodka muffins?

Been done before 

Joke

This isn't the first time champagne has been sold in cans.

Apparently Moet et Chandon used to sell their product in cans. And it used to be endorsed by none other than Daniel Day Lewis.

But they ceased production as it wasn't popular enough.

As a show of appreciation they gave the Last of the Moet Cans to Daniel Day Lewis.

(I am so, so sorry)

Am I the only person 

that doesn't find Paris Hilton attractive? ;)

And what's wrong with small? In my experience small ones are much more sensitive than the standard XXXL Bulgarian variety.

More importantly, is El Reg going to update the PH icon with a new thumbnail?

Glad I'm not the only one. She looks weird and runty. Well, her face does.

Cassis and strawberry?

Surely it should be 'blackcurrant and strawberry'? or at a pinch 'cassis et fraise'? or even 'ribes nero e fragola'?

John D Salt

Does it work for men? 

Yer man A. Coward says:

Yes, it does -- one of well-known effects of prolonged concumption of alcohol is to give men bigger boobs.

HTH, HAND,

John.

Danny Thompson

Her torso to leg ratio is off (legs too short). 

Coat

Yea, but they can spread very wide, which apparently is an advantage of having short legs.

Okay, so I just made that last bit up

just popped back to look at that picture again
