let me tell you this--if wanting to see paris hilton and ann coulter punched in the face a thousand times until most of the front of their skulls wears off and their exposed brains receive most of the punches makes me some kind of misogynist or something, well, then i guess you can call me a metaphorical 19th amendment repealer!!!!because the scene I described is exactly the scene I want to see.

Comparing Paris Hilton to Ann Coulter is like comparing Nelson Muntz to Adolph Hitler.

Personally I think Paris Hilton is a neat character and I'm glad she's around.

I'm a feminist and I totally agree with the other anon who wants to see Topato beat the living poop out of Paris Hilton and Ann Coulter...and as far as that comparison goes, one must remember that there are all sorts of evil, not just everything I say I pull directly out of my ass annoying evil or I'm incredibly obnoxious and disgustingly rich evil........

The only reason I hold angst against Paris is due to the fact that the only reason why she is popular, is be cause of how stinking rich she is. She's just an idiot blonde that never has to worry about rent, a job, or even how much gas is in her car. Good thing she makes the best of her emense wealth, making sex videos and having a tv show where she shows just how out of tune she is with the rest of us...

Wow, Jeffrey. That is pretty frigging cool because I was just reading about duct tape and also I told my mom yesterday that duct tape is uber versatile and you can use it to tape your phone to your head. And she was like...Uh...yeah.
So, yes. Also, Jeff, are you going to be at the San Diego Comic-Con this year?

If ever there was a reason for destruction of the human race, Paris Hilton would probably be it. Or, you know, pretty much up in the top ten.

... Is it just my monitor, or are Weedmaster P's eyes clear?

Actually, Paris isn't a blonde at all. She doesn't even have blue eyes. She bleaches her hair and wears blue contacts. Not that I'm saying she's not an frothily insipid strumpet.

i'm a feminist, but i still think that Paris hilton is hot. i saw bits and pieces of "the video" and it was sexy. and then i saw her on ellen and they were talking and anything ellen talked about, a purse, a shoe, a hairband, paris would say, "that's hot". she's a sexy girl, despite her weirdness. (or maybe partly because of it)

You are kidding right? She's a freaking stick, and an ugly stick at that.

Things you would need to make Paris Hilton look (And act) even remotely like a woman:
Red Hair Dye
Green Contacts
Brillo Pads
Pressure Washer
Bleach
Sandpaper
A brain
An act of congress
A miracle
An act of god

And even after that, she would only be about as sexy as Ross Perot. Its a lost cause, Jeff did a nice job of drawing the ugly bag of filth though, it looks just like her.

People, people... you don't understand her game. Paris Hilton thrives on your hate. The more you hate her, the stronger she becomes. Just like Carrot Top.

ok kids, i'm just gonna say one thing and then i'm done talkin abou paris. black lacy bra, black lacy boy short panties, combined with shortie blonde ponytails. she looks kinda like a kid but at the same time like a barbie doll. it's all that a woman is supposed to be: vulnerable, sexy, plus she's got a huge dowry (hotel money) she's the classic old-fashioned girl. I would do her.

dam, mcmarvin is right

with the end of the industrial revolution capitalism has turned into an inverted version of itself up is down black is white whatever

more and more market firms exist not because people like them but because people hate them

*george w bush
*michael moore
*the entire cast of the nbc today show
*north korea
*asian tsunami

each of these things only generates profit by converting the hatred of its enemies into currency

like i guess it's some kind of john poindexter-esque futures market where your stock goes up if everyone wishes that you were not on our planet

i very much wish this hate market was not on my planet

You can't bring Ross Perot into this. He has CONNECTIONS, oh yes. Connections with the immortal robot vampire, Strom Thurmond. You may think THE STROM is dead. You think wrong. Him and Zombie Reagan are just waiting on the other side of their so-called "Grave" to eat your souls for the greater evil. Puny mortals.

Of course Weedmaster P isn't high. If he was, he wouldn't care so much about his sidekick getting hacked.

Is Conor in the "Magical Adventures in Space" based off of the Bright Eyes Conor, or is that just coincidental?

I like how Jeff's eyes are narrowed in the last panel. It's a nice touch, and makes me think of how Seinfeld used to greet his nemesis. "Hello...Newman." Great Overcompensating, thank you Mr. Rowland :)

man. this is almost as bad as the tatu thing.

actually, it's worse.

i guess you can't help yourself dear.

Spiderbaby said...

I was thinking "Newman!" as well :-)

About Paris Hilton. OK, she's famous just for being rich and she made a silly mistake (famous people sadly can't videotape themselves having sex without everyone seeing it), but that doesn't make her a bad person. Hell, I wouldn't mind a few million euro and I've nothing against the use of a/v equipment in `adult situations'.

I know plenty of people who are much worse human beings than Paris seems to be. People, Overcompensating is a place of love, topless Jeff and occasional zombies. Why ruin this Interwebian utopia with silly-talk?

I like jam.

man, don't be hating Paris cuz she's a whore. It ain't her fault she looks like an orange horse. It's genetic, man- who can blame her for trying to sex herself up? Lord knows, it ain't easy to do.

If you absolutely must worship a celebrity, then surely you can find a better one than Paris Hilton. She's unpleasant and useless, like a rock with a turd on top.

Also, one does not "throw a gaunlet down" to someone they like/lust after. Nor does one utter a name in such a completely Seinfeld-Newman manner if they are feeling warm and fuzzy things.

Keep up the nipple-shots, Jeff.

Doctor Sinister said...

Things one can do with a rock:

Start a fire
Build a house
Hunt prey
Build a coffer damn
Trick tortoises into finding themselves in compromising positions
Cut-down a tree, and various other extrapolations of cutting
And much much more

As for the turd, whilst unpleasant, it would form an excellent cement.

Jeff, you're so good at keeping up with the trends! Those sidekick things are strange, and you've managed to capture their strangeness in a pure comic form. Bravo!
I also liked the Seinfeld-esque "Hello, Paris" bit.

But I've got to wonder, what ever happened to your Segway? They're oh-so-trendy, and are gaining in popularity with the "I like to stand when I travel" crowd.

Hah, three idiotic trends in one strip. You've truly outdone yourself this time Jeff. Also, congratulations on no longer being dead.

The problem with having a cell phone taped to your ear is that it's really difficult to hang up.

harder to hang up, but worth the cool ninja-like tape-headband fx. sexy.

Mitch,

Segways are still around, and Steve Wozniak is still trying to juice up interest in them. True story: my first ride on a Segway was on Woz's personal unit! It was last year, in the parking lot of the Shoreline Amphitheater, after a concert with The Greg Kihn Band and The Who.

It's the closest brush with fame I've ever had.

nah sidekicks are not stupid, sidekicks are extremely awesome.

my girlfriend's parents are both deaf, and they both have sidekicks. as everyone can probably imagine the mobile-IM features are very useful in helping her keep in contact with them.

having had the chance to play around with one, however, has instilled an odd sense of loyalty toward them in me, and now whenever i see a blackberry i can't help but just scoff at the fact that that thing does not have a flippable screen. i mean, come on now.

Jeff's just makin' Paris Hilton his nemesis. If you like someone, that's a good idea. You gotta see your nemesis around the 'hood, buying coffee, renting "The Goonies" at the local Mr. Movie.

Also I think Paris Hilton is really nice lookin' and saying someone can't use cosmetics to violently change around their appearance is basically like slapping Ziggy Stardust right in the face. Plus the problem you see is that you know I think someone will someday see Paris Hilton sitting in a cafe reading Ender's Game and playing HL2 and they'll be all "!!!!"

why y'all gotta be hatin' on Paris hilton?

"She's only famous because she's rich"

So what? That's more than I got!

I think she's kinda pretty myself ;-)

Sure she has said some rude things & whatever, but why y'all gotta be so dang JUDGEMENTAL :(
