Paris Hilton once again on the receiving end-this time gets a degree
http://media.collegepublisher.com/me...s/aj80v9kp.jpg

"Famous nobody Paris Hilton struts down the convocation catwalk yesterday after recieving an honorary degree in media studies and public relations at U of T."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A degree?! Can anyone explain to me what the deal is with the whole 'honourary degree' thing? Quite frankly, I'm a little pissed. I've heard of celebrities getting these before... but Paris Hilton?!

I thought you went to York for some reason....

Anyway, its some ammo to use against UT people I know. "yeah, well at least at my unversity, ..... " and so on.

Smashing87 · 12-07-2003, 11:40 AM

This has got to be a joke.

I thought she went to the SPAVA. But anyway... maybe she donated lots of cashmoney, that's one way to get an honorary degree

I transferred. And I would think that this would be the kind of thing that would only happen AT York... hahaha.... I am so ashamed to go to UofT now...

If I'm not mistaken, she actually did go to SPAVA... if there's some sort of worldwide group that does it. I met Lisa in Chicago three years ago and we figured out we know a couple people, one through spava.

Hahah Julian, that's cute, but no.

s.p.a.v.a. was this performing arts school I went to as a kid in the summer. In Kitchener. Not worldwide - but that would be cool!

sppunk · 12-07-2003, 03:37 PM

Bo Pilgram has an honorary doctorate from the university I went to.

Um, if you had read below the fold or opened the front page you'd have seen that the Varsity just did an end of year joke issue. Other articles *******d "Jub population skyrockets on campus", "Editorial: Monkeys and hunchbacks taking over!", and "Research gorilla 'a real asshole'"

Yeah, I also think she's donated some cashmoney for getting the degree. Actually, why not? Everybody knows she got it this way, so I don't think it should somehow hurt UofT reputation. She's Paris Hilton, so I assume she has had to pay A LOT of money - I guess it's better if those money are used for some research on the university than wasting away on some useless parties.
