Due to the fact that I couldn't spend any money on Memorial Day (I wanted to shop, shop, shop) and also due to the fact that it was approximately 935 degrees outside, I spent a lot of time indoors this past weekend. This means two things - a semi-clean house and A LOT of TV watching hours under my belt.
I just happened to stumble on an all day marathon of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. For those of you not familiar with the show, it's a reality show that follows the Kardashian family. I really have NO IDEA how on earth they got rich or famous other than the fact that Daddy Kardashian was involved in OJ Simpson's defense and that after Mommy Kardashian divorced him, she married Bruce Jenner, the former Olympic gold medalist.
Anyway, the entire family is NUTS. I'm guessing that they spend at least $3,521 on each episode in makeup alone (seriously, I saw one episode where Kim wasn't wearing her makeup and she looked like a completely different person). Then they run around in their fake eyelashes and lip plumping lip gloss (it has to be lip plumping because no lips look like that) acting like idiots and worrying about things that they should have figured out when they were 15.
It never ceases to amaze me how people who grew up in a rich family can get to be so stupid (ie Paris Hilton, Nichole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan). The Kardashian girls are ages 28, 27, and 25 respectively and I don't think all of them put together have an ounce of common sense.
This worries me on several levels - girls all over America model themselves after the Kardashians, they are taking up an entire day to show episode after episode of them exhibiting their disconnection with the real world, and when the girls have kids, they are going to perpetuate the stupidity gene. Honestly. The world is going to pot.

I have watched one episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashian's because it seemed as if it would be fun. WRONG! I have to agree with you that it was pathetic. No one can possibly be that stupid/whinny/bratty/superficial all at once, can they? I don't know, I've never been to L.A. - the city that seems to breed these personalities by the truckload. In any case, I whole-heartedly agree with your sentiments. Sadly enough, The Girls Next Door (aka the chicks dating Hugh Hefner) present more interesting, down to earth, intelligent characters.
I'm not going to lie - I watch The Girls Next Door and I LOVE them! At least they're just stupid - they very rarely whine and I don't think any of them are brats. Maybe they just don't have the brain power.
Agreed. I had no idea they were that old AND that stupid. Makes me glad to be boring and not on TV. I think the same gals who imitate all these stars are the same poor schmos who end up on the Bachelor.
