Paris Hilton Does Another Ad For Her Fake Presidential Campaign

So McCain starts all of this stuff by placing Paris Hilton (along with Britney Spears) in a 'celebrity' ad against Obama. Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, co-founders of FunnyorDie.com came up with the idea for a rebuttal, approached Paris with it and soon the fake commercial was on the internet and had garnered over 5,000 hits in just days. The hits seem to rise which I guess is the reason that they went back to the well and tried this again.

This fake presidency campaign ad centers around Paris talking strategy with her favorite fake President, Presenident Bartlett from the Office, played by Martin Sheen. They discuss how hard it is to be a fake President and discuss things like FOPO. "What is FOPO?" Martin Sheen asks. "Foreign Policy silly." Paris responds. "I should have known that BF." Martin responds. They continue to discuss the economy as well before Charlie Sheen drops by. When he finds out that his dad is giving fake Presidential advice to fake running candidate, Paris he offers to find plenty of fake votes.

While the first Paris Hilton for President was funny and well worth watching since everyone wanted to see how she would respond to being dragged into the election. However, this joke is now getting old and stale. Even the appearances of Martin Sheen and the cameo by his son, Charlie could not help this web video. It was mildly entertaining and pretty much all around boring.

I think the first one was so popular that everyone at FunnyOrDie.com thought it would be nice to do another one and Paris was probably very eager to do this as well. However, I believe they dipped into the subject one time too many. They could have stuck with the one web video and had a hit instead of flopping with this new one. It was not in the least bit funny, except for the fact that their ideas of how to handle foreign policy and the economy are oddly enough, the best ideas I've heard during this Presidential election. This being said, the future isn't looking too great for American citizens everywhere, now is it?

This clip premiered today at FunnyOrDie.com. Take a trip over there and see what you think about this video. I give it a 3 out of 10 at best.
