That correction is okay, as corrections go; however Lori really missed an opportunity to garner appropriate public adulation for her sensitive client. I'd have added the part in bold below: CORRECTIVE: Paris Hilton Story (11-13) 15:44 PST GAUHATI, India (AP) -- In a Nov. 13 story, The Associated Press incorrectly reported that Paris Hilton was praised by conservationists for highlighting the problem of binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India. Lori Berk, a publicist for Hilton, said she never made any comments about helping drunken elephants in India.Although Ms. Hilton did not initially draw attention to this tragic problem, upon being apprised of the situation, she believes that the world should be aware of the potential for loss of animal life caused by humans. "These elephants were not only like, minding their own business, you know; but they, like, lost their environment due to a bunch of people taking over the place," said Ms. Hilton. "On top of that," she continued, "These villagers left rice beer lying around, tempting the elephants, who now have problems with alcoholism. It's animal cruelty!" Recent news reports confirm Ms. Hilton's comments: msnbc.msn.com :-) After all, celebrities like to trumpet concerns over weighty problems. I wonder if buying carbon credits would help on this issue....hmmm. My guess is they'd help as much as buying them helps on global warming...
