On August 6, 2008, Paris Hilton responded to John McCain's anti-Obama campaign ad titled "Celeb,", in which McCain alleged Obama to be a celebrity akin to Britney Spears and Hilton, by declaring her own candidacy on Will Ferrell's funnyordie.com. In her video, she explains her stance on foreign oil dependency, concluding her declaration by saying "I'll see you at the debates, bitches." Within the first three hours of being posted, the video had already garnered 400,000 views.
