Paris Hilton Crashes MediaPost Server

It seems server-crashing Paris Hilton isn’t limiting herself to the site that carries her racy Carl’s Jr. ad. During our normal news trawl today, we found the headline in our email, “Paris Hilton Ad Boost Carl’s Jr. Traffic,” and though hmm, either this ad really is working or it’s yet another attempt at milking Paris for all she’s got to get press. So we click. And we click. And we wait. And we wait. And, finally, we get this: “Server Error. The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. JRun closed connection.” No doubt the link will work by the time you click but, you have to admit, this is kind of funny, especially when the first sentence of the MediaPost article (as sent in the email) was “Server crashes generally are considered bad for business.”
