in the wierd post-modern media universe that we inhabit, something like this could actually be GOOD for her career. just look at that lip-synching "scandal"--- it was the best thing that ever have happened to her. i can just see the talking heads on "extra" doing a little piece on this petition like it was the cutest thing ever-- and in doing so give ashlee simpson MORE exposure.

public humiliation seems to lead to fame and fortune these days. look at paris hilton, that william hung guy, american superstar, etc. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 12:29am

Mi*coll* you're sort of right but mostly wrong. Being a public punching bag is not good for your career. Yes you get mentioned on web-boards in little ole'Victoria, but none of will buy her record or drop $50 to see her live. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 5:40pm

Adam- I don't know if I'm right about this specific example, but in general right now public humiliations often lead to fame.

her fuck up on SNL basically launched her career. video of paris hilton shagging some dude made her famous. that william hung dude is famous because he is so shitty at singing. jessica simpson is more famous than ever because she is so fucking dumb. remember that star wars kid? i bet he could launch a dancing career if he only had the balls. the commonality of all of these examples is that we are laughing (or in the case of paris hilton, jerking it) at these people who seemingly aren't in on the joke themselves.

and Willem/KK- what public humilation? i thought you were banned already. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 6:51pm

"video of paris hilton shagging some dude made her famous"

Yeah, everyday, people with no music careers, play on SNL.

Paris Hilton. Dude. The only reason why a sex video like that becomes so popular, is because she is FAMOUS. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 7:28pm

Didn't Nirvana play on SNL? If I remember correctly they had a bit of a musical career.

And I had no idea who the fuck Paris Hilton was until I heard about that video. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 7:42pm

as far as ashlee simpson having a career before SNL, this is true, she was signed and everything, but believe me we would not be discussing her on this board had that not happened.

and thanks brett, i didn't know who paris hilton was until that video, either, but now i know her very well indeed. hehe.

why is this statement so controversial? "being used as a public punching bag" is actually good for some people's careers these days. look no further than ashlee simpson. - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 9:36pm

Mi*coll*, I think Ashley has been fighting to stay relevant ever since SNL.

There are so many sex tapes on the net that the only reason Paris' stands out is b/c she is famous (before the video) and the white, rich, spoiled daughter of an American Power family. Her video did help her career, but lets be honest, her performance was pretty convincing ;-P - Mon, 24 Jan 2005 10:39pm

we all know her name, but it is generally the punchline to a joke. When it stops being funny, she is gone or off to Surreal Life. - Tue, 25 Jan 2005 6:37pm

I tells ya: I never heard of her before I accidentally dowloaded her (really boring) sex tape when looking for some completely different porn. I fail to see why any centient being would intentionaly watch her stoopid "reality" shows about her being a spoiled whore having to do average things.

I hope her and her extended familly all get lightbulb enimas + a kick - Thu, 27 Jan 2005 1:54am

yup! she'll definitely will end up on surreal life. but then, that is a true post-modern mark of success... - Thu, 27 Jan 2005 12:05pm
