Paris Hilton Features In A New Herpes Ad?
Okay … sometimes LMAO doesn’t really express how funny something is so I guess I’ll just have to explain. Paris Hilton, and her trademark wonky eye, are featured in a new online ad campaign for Viruxo Anti-Viral Support medication which is marketed to herpes sufferers to offset the effects of the disease. Clearly, it has been determined by the online ad folks at Viruxo that Paris Hilton (or a lookalike who looks A LOT like her) would be the PERFECT spokesmodel. Yes, folks, Paris is featured in a herpes ad. The campaign shows up on sites like Facebook and one assumes the ads were created without her authorization but … the shit is funny as hell nonetheless … behold:
Suffering with complications from the Herpes virus is devastating but not with VIRUXO. VIRUXO is the most effective immune support supplement WITHOUT a prescription! This incredible product keeps your immune system strong keeping most types of Herpes virus in check. This product has been proven effective against Herpes Sores (HSV-1, HSV-2).
100% GUARANTEED RESULTS If you don’t experience drastically reduced outbreaks with Viruxo or you are not satisfied for any reason with Viruxo, just return the bottle for a complete refund. Remember, with our guarantee, if your outbreaks aren’t greatly reduced, you get your money back.
No word on if Paris Hilton will personally come to your home to deliver your refunded money but that might be an added bonus for trying the stuff! Or … mebbe not. Methinks the folks at Viruxo will be hearing from Paris Hilton’s lawyers shortly about this viral campaign ;) In the mean time, I’ll be over here LMAOing.

They can’t be thaaat stupid, can they? My bet is they had a look-alike and a photoshopped wonk.

HA!

I agree with carma. It looks like it’s not really her.
July 30th, 2009 at 10:26 am
My guess is they photoshopped her face onto someone else, obviously without her permision. Love it but they’re going to get sued very quickly.

hahahaha… thanks for the laugh Trent!

Funny and SO very fitting.
It looks shopped.
Look at the the way the light reflects off her face, then look at the guy’s face. Different lighting, different photo. ;)

If it came from Facebook, what happens is unless you fix your privacy settings, they will take any picture you have uploaded on the site and use it for ads that display on your and your friends’ page.
(My friend had a picture of her in headphones displayed as an add for the new iPhone on Facebook as well. I was confused as to how she became a model for it til I realized what happened!)
So if it was taken from Facebook, that would be what happened. However, the irony is amazing. :)

It definitely IS a Photoshop – here is the original:

I saw this on MySpace a few days ago and had a good laugh! There’s no way she could have known, right? I’ve also been seeing this really wtf one with Michael Jackson’s mugshoot and a cartoon version of it next to it!

LMAO!!! SO funny and fake! I bet she will sue for this one. Her Documentary on MTV said she wouldn’t sue everyone but I have a feeling this one she will. I still heart her!

I just went to change mine and this is what it said
Worried about privacy? Your photos are safe.
There have been misleading rumors recently about the use of your photos in ads. Don’t believe them. These rumors were related to third-party applications, and not ads shown by Facebook. Get the whole story at the Facebook Blog, or check out the Help Center.( FROM FACEBOOK)
There you have it!

“Wonky Eye” – just one reason I love Trent!!
July 30th, 2009 at 11:47 am
I think it’s a look-a-like.
Obviously done to get themselves some publicity – and it worked .
The real Paris though should totally do a commercial for Valtrex !

Oh, that’s so special…
July 30th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
HAHA! the original is just as hilarious!
July 30th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I don’t know what’s worse her wonk eye or hoked nose.
July 30th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Wonk Wonk!

Ahhhhh! That’s not Larry from the good ol’ days of Buffy, is it?? It sure looks like him!
July 30th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Omg. Best laugh I have had in a while. I have tears of laughter streaming down my face LMFAO. Thank you trent-the eye is the best part.

I know it’s kinda funny and all…. but you guys must not know anyone who suffers from herpes. (or they have it and haven’t told you).. For them, it’s like they have HIV… they can never get rid of it… and there are SO many people that have it, that half of you (or more) have probably had sex with someone who has it & you never knew it. You don’t even have to have sex to get it… someone could pass it to your genitals from their mouth, even if they don’t have any signs of it on their mouth…. and you can also get it even if you use a condom… It reminds me of this guy I know, who was talking trash about this girl because she had herpes… meanwhile, he was screwing a girl who also had it.. Of course, he didn’t know that because she didn’t tell him… I just think it’s cruel to make fun of a disease that is very painful and can’t be gotten rid of, and you can be so easily infected. It’d be different if it was something a person could get rid of with pennicillin. I’m sure there’s A LOT more celebs with it than what we’re aware of. I dunno.. to me, it’s like laughing at people who have HIV…. even though the herpes won’t kill the host, it can cause a lot more problems… it can cause newborns to go blind, etc.
