Paris Protests Pickled Pachyderms

What?!

Paris Hilton is being praised by conservationists for highlighting the problem of binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India.

Paris Hilton. Elephants. Drunken rampage. I can think of only one favorable result from the confluence of those three items. This wasn't it.

At least she has a firm grasp on the intricacies of the problem:

"The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them," the 26-year-old socialite said...

Her publicist couldn't immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

He's probably drunk. Or looking for an employer who isn't a walking lobotomy advertisement. I'd imagine "garbage truck driver" is moving rapidly upward on his list of preferred career changes.
