From the blackest of black holes came the Kardashians. And honestly, I'm not even sure why the family has risen to it's current "celebrity" status because I'm still trying to find that needle in the haystack called TALENT. As most of us are aware, The most famous family member is Kim, who catapulted to fame by her sex tape...umm...sure....
Ironically enough if any one in the family is a celebrity, my bet would be on her step-father, Bruce Jenner, a world renowned Olympian Gold Decathlon Medalist (10 events), motivational speaker, Hall of Fame inductee, Athlete of the Year award recipient, world record place holder, and overall is given credit for changing the definition of "training" for future Olympics athletes. Hrmmm...guess he should have made a sex tape, too, and perhaps he'd still be talked about in the media? lol!
But back to what this blog post is really about...KK... What I find interesting is that she has a very clear cut separation of followers. Her "fans", either love her or they have a strong dislike for her (let's call them the KK-Haters for the purpose of this discussion). I think her celebrity status grew because of the wedding, reality show, clothing and shoe lines but more so because of the KK Haters.
Case in point, as of the news reports this morning, over 100,000 KK Haters have signed a petition to boycott the Kardashians reality show. I wonder if the KK Haters actually watch the show to begin with...so why boycott? Why not target the network instead? I suppose the ratings would be affected some if the KK Haters boycotted the show and Nielsen Media would be able to show this but wouldn't the network be affected more if people boycotted their network? Hrmmm...just something to think about.
In any case, if you're wondering where I stand, I'd be perfectly pleased with one less reality show, especially one that promotes bratty, spoiled behavior showing a grown woman crying because she doesn't get her way. And do I think KK has talent? Sure! She's great at teaching young impressionable girls and women that you should pout, act like a bubble brain, and be a spoiled brat to get ahead in life. Point taken? :)
Oh...And for the record, Bruce Jenner is THE celebrity in THAT family.
