The original idea of this comic was to do a riff on Groundhog’s Day and the tradition if the groundhog sees his shadow, it’s another 6 weeks of winter. In this case, if the North American Fanboy sees his shadow… we’ll you probably get the idea.
This time of year I truly do feel like hibernating. Not much is happening in pop culture that’s captured my interest. Well, except for Lost coming back to the airwaves. Thank goodness for that!
Much as if you say the words “Bloddy Mary” into a mirror three time and a ghostly woman appears to slit your throat, I’m reluctant to give too much attention to Paris Hilton in fear that saying her name aloud might make her real. I fear that by making fun of her upcoming movie The Hottie and The Nottie, I’ve already given more attention to this film than it rightly deserves. Clearly the marketing Svengali who dreamed up the film’s title should be strung up by their thumbs. I mean, I get that it’s cashing in on Hilton’s trademarked, half-lidded “That’s hot.” catchphrase, but what the hell is a “Nottie?”
Whatever it is, can we PLEASE assume that Paris Hilton is the “Nottie?”
That’s about all I have for you today. I could probably go on for a few more paragraphs about how much I hate Paris Hilton. But really, why share the obvious? It’s not like there are that many people in the world left to convince about Paris’ sub-par worth as a human being, right?

Last week when I did a comic about The Hottie and The Nottie, I spoke about not wanting to give too much attention to the film based on it’s horrid premise and the fact that Paris Hilton was its star. But when I read this article with a box office recap for the weekend, I had to gloat a little bit.
I suppose I made it a little bit personal by taking shots at Hilton for her plastic surgery over the years, but she’s done such a terrible job lying about it in interviews, I found the irony delicious. How can someone like Hilton who is so ugly on the inside and who still looks like a drugged ostrich to this day make any commentary on what is or is not “hot.” It’s laughable.
I brought this up in the comments section of last Wednesday’s LiveJournal comic feed, in addition to being the “star” of the picture, Hilton was also executive producer. You get the sense that she thought this movie might improve the public’s perception of her. “Look, I’m helping out ugly people? Aren’t I great?!” while at the same time standing over co-star Christine Lakin in the make-up chair saying “More! More!” as they slathered on layer after layer of “ugly” make-up. Why Lakin agreed to the role is beyond me.
At any rate, that’s pretty much all I have to say about things. Again, I don’t want to lend to much credibility to the film. Just looking for an opportunity to take a cheap shot, I guess.
