Long-lasting Shopping

Nothing to do with Australia but this what I love about new media. This arrived on my desk top in my daily news digest.

Not only are we able to read it in the first place, but it’s about someone who’s famous solely for being famous, and whose dubious celebrity has been created largely by the web. The dodgy translation actually adds to the story – “long-lasting shopping” and “rough talk” with the manager – and then, just when you might be losing interest, there’s the link Paris Hilton Enlarges Her Breast – Photos.

And if you ever doubted the wisdom of calling your daughter Paris Hilton, you’ll feel fully justified when you look at the links under Google Ads on the left-hand side. Wonderful.
