Paris Mocks McCain Ad in New Spoof

The men behind the hilarious Hilton spoof ad are none other than producer Chris Henchy and writer/director Adam McKay. If those names sound familiar, it's because Chris is Brooke Shields' husband and a co-producer for "Entourage," and former "Saturday Night Live" writer Adam wrote and directed such Will Ferrell hits as 'Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,' 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' and 'Step Brothers,' in theaters now.

Adam tells "The Insider" that he heard about McCain's ad featuring Paris and Britney Spears on the progressive radio station Air America, and says, "I thought, 'Oh my god, they have to respond; there has to be a rebuttal." A quick call to Paris' agent, and they were talking about the project three hours later. "I don't really know her, so I didn't know what to expect or how much of a sense of humor she had, but she right away got the joke and was completely down with it."

"She came prepared," adds Chris, pointing out that they brought cue cards just in case, but to Paris' credit, she had memorized the entire script.

McKay and Will Ferrell are also the creative minds behind the comedy video Web site FunnyorDie.com, which first created buzz on the Web with the Will Ferrell short "The Landlord," in which Will plays a beleaguered, behind-in-his-rent tenant who is harassed by his two-year-old landlord (played by Adam's daughter!).
