Score 1 for Perez


In an interesting turn of events, Perez actually did something cute. After NOM made their broke ass Miss California ad, Perez saw an opportunity.

They used his vlog in their ad without his permission. Well once Mario/Perez saw this mess, he did what he does best...attack. He had the ad removed from Youtube because of a copyright violation...cute.

An ad by the National Organization for Marriage using footage of Miss California and Miss USA judge Perez Hilton was removed from YouTube the same day it launched. An attempt to play the YouTube version of the ad generates only a message that the "video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Mario Lavandeira [a.k.a. gossip blogger Perez Hilton]."

Apparently there's no one in NOM's ad department to catch SUCH SIMPLE THINGS. Why are they so amateurish? Maggie, maybe you need to hire some real PR people instead of your best friend's son and the church usher.

So poo-putt, Mags.
