It's important to remember that we live in an age where people can be "famous for being famous." This, of course, began with the rise of Paris Hilton and at the time we laughed it off as an anomaly. Not long after, though, they were everywhere. We knew their names and we were being told they had some significance, but when pressed for why, we rarely had an answer at the ready.

Enter Tila Tequila, a Playboy model who parlayed her body into a reality show called "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. Later, she appeared on a season of Celebrity Big Brother, but was ejected after the public realized she was kind of a neo-Nazi. She praised Hitler and made numerous anti-Semitic comments.

But bless her hate-filled heart, the little would be-gestapo is still trying to climb back up that long road to fame. She's aligned herself with Blaze Vapors to create her own line of e-liquids. Vaping is on the verge of being a national health crisis amongst American teens, so at least Tequila has remained consistent: If you can't poison their minds, poison their lungs.
