Have A Hilton Christmas

It's been a while since I've made a post.  I've been slacking off, so let's see if I can pick it up.  I just came across this story about a man in Rhode Island who decided to adore his lawn with blown-up pictures of Paris Hilton as his way of celebrating the holidays.  Dude, why?   This time of year most people put up Christmas lights around their homes.  Some place menorahs in their windows.  Some put up Christmas Trees (yes, it's called a Christmas Tree, not a Holiday Tree).   Paris Hilton isn't exactly someone that strikes me as being lawn-worthy.  In any case, you are a very weird dude.   It appears you put a lot of time and effort into your display.  How about using that same energy to do, oh, I don't know, watching football, or getting yourself a girlfriend.  Obviously, you don't have one.    ##################################################################   Naughty or nice? Paris Hilton display upsets neighbors

CRANSTON, Rhode Island (AP) -- Some people go with a reindeer ornament or an inflatable Santa Claus for their holiday lawn display. Joe Moretti went with Paris Hilton.

Moretti's display features a collection of blown-up images of Hilton adorned with pink lights. In one, she sports a tiny pink top hiding little of her chest, in another, she wears knee-high boots and a sultry pout. Even Hilton's faithful Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, is celebrated in a colorful portrait.

Reaction has been mixed, and some say it is inappropriate.

"If it's offending anyone, I apologize," Moretti, 38, said. "That's not the intent. The intent is to be different and to be creative and let them see a little bit of Hollywood or New York -- bring it to Cranston."

The display includes a list entitled "How to Be a Hilton," complete with tips such as: "An entrance is everything," "NEVER wake before 10 a.m." and "NEVER spend the summer in NYC." A number of cars slowed or came to a complete stop on the busy road as they passed Moretti's house Thursday afternoon.

"It's nothing more than they could see on TV, on normal stations -- or actuallyat school," said Stefanie D'Angelos, 28, who has four children.

Ron Raffonelli, 65, said he would be upset if his young grandchildren came to associate Christmas with a naked woman. He'd prefer the kids to think of Santa Claus.

After all, Raffonelli said, "He's been around longer."
