Paris Relieves Rodents

Paris has the power to reduce the pain in mice. She might not be curing world hunger, but hey, it's a start.
Paris Mice
McGill University neuroscientists have discovered that a "Simple Life" cardboard cutout of the heiress has proven to reduce pain in male mice. Exposure to Paris' likeness actually lowered the expression of a gene called c-fos, which transmits pain signals to the brain.

This suggests that there is reduced neural activity in the mice, not unlike the reduced activity in the brain of Hilton herself.

18. They probably felt they had human companionship which kept them at ease. If it had been a cardboard cutout of a woman in a lab coat, maybe not so much.

19. Yah, I would go numb if I had to stare at a picture of that disgusting skank too. Man, what a waste of film she is. Now that I think about it, she is pretty much a waste of anything. Useless trash.

Tom's own stupidity warms little Jerry's heart.

24. To Dave comment #17,

Excuse me, but she doesn't even have a tush! There is a flat patch of skin with a vertical line. Guess you are attracted to the 13 year old male physique.

25. This is completely sick and disgusting. What loser has a job to inflict pain on innocent mice for such a sickening, worthless and ruthless cause? The title "scientist" brings on images of demented worthless loser in this story.

26. To HL...

LOL! So laughter is jealousy and ridicule is hatred. You are weird. Seriously though, the only jealous hater here is you. Please take your hatred somewhere else – it’s ugly.

28. LOL! Thanks again, TMZ, for the laughter! We love it! That last sentence is precious.

By the way, there is more to the story and this experiment. (And no, this did not involve tying the mice to a chair and forcing them to listen to Hilton’s CD). Scientists wanted to find out the effect human presence had on mice. They were taking pictures of real people to place near, or in front of the mice. When this happened, the male mice stop licking their wounds from an injection. The same effect also came about when scientists placed themselves near the mice.
