Andy Warhol said, more or less, “In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."
That’s a pretty cool thing to say, no doubt.
But later on, he surpassed himself when he said, “I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is: “In fifteen minutes everybody will be famous.”
Get it?!
In fifteen minutes we’ll all be famous!!!
Too cool, man!
Way to keep hope alive!
(Makes President Obama a little less special, though.)
I am not exactly sure what Paris Hilton does, but she makes over 10 million dollars a year doing it. She is much better at being dumb and pretty than most people are at being smart and hard working.
It has also been pointed out (although I forget where I read it) that John Edwards was calling Obama a "celebrity candidate" back during the primaries.

((Oh, well.))
It's always 15 minutes from 15 minutes from now.
Does this mean an Obama homemade porn tape is out there?

"I’m so overexposed, I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse."
Is it racist if you say it about yourself?
Paris Hilton is a recluse. In real life she is played by an actress.
So who is this guy playing Obama?
Obama is really Tinkerbell.
Cheers,
