Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux
lamasquerade writes "Paris Hilton has been named by the Open Source Development Legue as their next recruit in a bid to gain maximum exposure for FOSS. The new Legue's CEO, Jeremy Bleats, noted that the length of Ms Hilton's legs were a great factor in the decision and was sure to deny any links to The Red-Headed Legue. Richard Stallman was quick to label the activity a 'cheap stunt'."
All distributions adopt new characteristic *BOIINNGGG!* bootup sound.
Speaking of which. On Wednesday, we were at LinuxFest in Indy and one of the freebies that the university was giving out where these little penguin squishy things. Two girls who looked like they just came off of the latest reality TV show came up to our booth and asked in a very gingery voice "Like, can we have one of these penguins?". I doubt they knew anything about Linux. After they left I then turned to Marina and said, you know there needs to be a new distribution of Linux called Pink Linux or something "like" that. It could have a pink gtk theme with cornflower blue icons.
Tux with tits!
The joke is in the title.

While this was in the Mysterious Future, I thought of an awesome reply. But I seem to have forgotten it.
I for one welcome our new bimbo overlords.
I also heard that the next Debian installs will include Paris' latest video and her hacked TMobile phonebook by default. No more searching around the net for your favorite downloads!
I for one would definitely not hit it. I mean look at those sharp knees! She's way below my standards.

Could we just sell her for $30k? We could fund a bunch of projects with that!
(lay off. i know it's a joke)
IWARS.
People, in general, disappoint me. Politicians even more so.
So will we end up with a leaked sex tape of her and Tux now?
I'd agree, Stallman has better legs.
better face, too, without the make-up
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
coming up next: ....
- Google Gulp
- Nasa reports: Water on Mars
- GMail inbox size to infinity+1
- Gentoo to drop x86 live cds
- gnome requiring subscription in the future
Here she is doing what she does best at a linux convention:

I think she just read the camel book and was inspired.
Will code a sig generator for food
Did you guys hear how loud that "whoosh" sound was? I heard it all of the way over at my desk.
Sure gives a whole new meaning to "open source", doesn't it?
The back door is too open, and any distribution she endorses would have the nic running in promiscuius mode all the time!
SCO has sent out a press release stating that apparently "residue from SCO's intellectual property" have been found in and on Linux's new spokesperson, Paris Hilton. As proof, SCO showed clips from a one hour tape alleging to show unknown developers deposting what SCO claims to be "the life fluids of SCO" directly onto various parts of Ms Hilton.
Ms Hilton was quoted as saying "they promised me they wouldn't show that tape to anyone, if you can't trust a nerd, who can you trust?".
Why should today be any different than any other day?

RMS should've said it was a cunning stunt.
Well, something like that.
In other news, a new distro will come out with barebones functionality, and it's gonna suck.
No, he misspelled "slu^H^H It is not polite to refer to Miss Hilton as an "activity" so much as a charitable and generous liberated woman.

There is nothing so silly as other peoples traditions, and nothing so sacred as our own.
"Paris, what do you think of the OSS movement?"
"That's hot."
"Hot...Alright, what about the pengiun mascot, do you think it fits Linux or what are your feelings on that?"
"That's hot."
"Also....hot. OK, let me ask you this, what would you think of dinner with me tonight?"
"That's hot."
"Are you listening at all?"
"That's hot."

I am just waiting for tomorrow, when they post a dup of a phony story.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Linux was cancelled forever?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!
No one is going to fall for that.

".. the involvement of Paris Hilton as a 'cunning stunt'".
you mean.

is it me or am I the only one that swapped "c" and "st".
Er, that was the point. Oh, look, up in the sky, it's the joke flying over your head.
The major criteria was : somebody who has to be really "open" :-D
about Paris:
"New Rule - You can't be famous for NOTHING."
She and her show can go back to wherever she came from.
... anybody got the video of Paris typing "man mount"?
"Derp de derp."
Paris always poses with hats and a man's shirt ... and nothing else ... in issues of Vanity Fair.
It's official, Linux is so Hot it's Not.
I'm looking forward to the Victoria's Secret preview of their new Red Hat Lingerie.

Tick tock, tick tock. I think she's about at 13 to 14 minutes at this point.

Had to go there! People say what they want to say about Paris but there are some facts that no one can dispute.
1) Good looking or not, she is fashionable!
2) If you look at her outrageous outfits you will notice that they are being worn by others now.
3) That dog! How many chicks do you see now with teeny dog?
Paris rocks in my book. Not only does she march to her own drum beat, she damn well built her own drum and others want it too!

...you insensitive clods!
That's actually a great marketing strategy. If Paris Hilton can use Linux - anyone can!
...Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed.
Are you allowed to call Paris a "cheap stunt" on TV?
