| Subject: Lame Pinterest deletes US presidential hopeful Rand Paul's lame Hillary Clinton 'parody' Tue Feb 17, 2015 10:40 pm | |
| Welp, here's a new entry in the canon of dumb online stunts for political gain. On Saturday, US presidential hopeful Rand Paul made a fake Pinterest page for Hillary Clinton. And, shortly thereafter, Pinterest deleted the page — because making a fake Pinterest for a female politician is not only sexist, unfunny and painfully lame, but also explicitly violates Pinterest's Terms of Service.
Well played, Rand Paul ... well played.
The page, before Pinterest took it down, was presumably meant to "burn" Clinton, as my colleague Hunter Schwarz wrote on Saturday. It included a "Power Couple" board with pictures of the Clintons. An "Inspirational Quotes" page, with text images of things Clinton has said. And, apropos of nothing, a "White House Remodel" page, complete with pictures of the furniture Clinton would buy to make the Oval Office "more chic."
