Paris Hilton doesn't appreciate being called "vacant."
Paris Hilton is reportedly irate at a New Zealand company over the rights to an image of her appearing on their billboard.
We've all seen billboards before advertising space--usually it's a white background with the word "vacant" attached to a phone number. It's probably for this reason that the company decided to shake things up with a billboard bearing Hilton's image with "vacant" written below in giant white letters.
Not only is Paris unhappy about the apparent insult, but she is threatening a lawsuit unless the advertisement in taken down. A spokesman for the company had the following to say:
"We wanted to draw some attention to some of our unsold display as we expanded, so we briefed a friend who runs his own boutique agency to work up a range of creative concepts...We were thinking about using Winston Peters, but Paris is much prettier and she has a proven ability to laugh at herself. We assume that the agency has taken care of the rights to the image of Paris, but we will ask the question."
Do you just find this whole thing funny, or does Paris have the right to be upset? Let me know what you think!
