Paris Hilton sues cardmakers


Well, it seems Paris Hilton is at it again with her latest stupid stunt. According to the Web site, starmagazine.com, Hilton is now suing Hallmark Cards, Inc.

The heiress has reportedly filed a suit claiming the company has used her likeness, as well as her signature phrase, "That's hot," without her consent.

You have to wonder how someone like this is even able to get up and get dressed in the morning without any help, when they are clearly incompetent. Paris, hello!

There are such things as fair use laws! This means that companies such as Hallmark can use parodies such as, "That's hot" without Hilton's consent, even if she does have it copyrighted.Besides, I'm sure more than just Hilton have used that phrase before.

That's hot, two words that are clearly common in the English language, and would just be absurd to have said together. I don't know if Hilton knows this or not, but when you use a phrase over and over again it doesn't make it yours, it just makes you redundant.

The lawsuit was filed on Sept. 6, and is seeking unspecified damages. Well, what could she get out of this? That nobody from now until the end of time is allowed to use her phrase?

It's people like her who think they are trend setters that really just make America as a whole just seem ridiculous.
