Paris Hilton Represents for Family Hotel Chain, Finally...
In a guerilla art campaign that lifted its major points from Banksy (the stealth replacement of a Paris Hilton object), artist Vinchen plied his trade at the Columbus, Ohio Hilton Hotel. He replaced a wall-mounted house ad with a more revealing image of the hotel heiress, in a mock ad that read: "For over 80 years, the Hilton name has been synonymous with elegance and class. A tradition that continues today."
Click here for a look at the full (NSFW) image, along with a film of the installation.

guerilla, maybe. But taking predictable shots at predictable targets does not constitute 'art', at least I hope not... of course, more power to the guy.

Sam, link to the original pic and you'll have a better understanding of the point the "artist" is making.

Penis is an easy target but so what?? Just a useless waste of space and energy. When bitch isn't being mentioned, I totally forget she even exists as do, I suspect, many others. Still, gotta love that artwork. Bet it's hitting the shareholders square in the dividends hahahaha ... I for one would never NEVER book a room at a Hilton. Whenever I see the name Hilton I think of what a piece of trash Penis is - there is no class there whatsoever and I'd probably catch some kind of disease from the beds.

It looks like she's enjoying a heroin fix.
Just saying.

I'm glad they are finally targeting the family aspect - and with Paris as the model.
This will surely rehabilitate their perception about the Hilton hotel in general.
