What about Fire Ants?

My interest in Paris Hilton is exceeded by my interest in most insect pests, but Howard Veit points to an article that provides stuff you just can't make up. The story, of course, is that "socialite" (i.e. more bucks than brains) Paris is in a tizzy over the public disclosure of an amateur porn tape she made with pal Rick Solomon:
As for Solomon, who recently launched a clothing and video venture titled Beverly Hills Pimps & Hos, which is described as an A-list version of Girls Gone Wild, one would think the leaked sex tape would serve as marketing gold--particularly since he bragged about the tape's existence earlier in the year.
We're dealing with a classy bunch here!
In the meantime, merchandisers and pranksters have decided to use the media frenzy over the tape to make hay while the sun shines.

"Paris Hilton Sex Tape" T-shirts are available in online boutiques, while a search for "Paris Hilton Sex Tape" on the file-sharing site KaZaA leads to clips of everything from large naked women doing provocative dances to a monkey drinking its own urine.
Glad to see somebody's got it right.
