I, like former prez Dubya Bush, like to make up stupid names for things and people I have to hear about all of the time and so far the best I’ve got for this crew is the Krudassians. Juvenile and not all that imaginative, but it works for me especially since their butts seem to be one of their main claims to fame.
I guess I understand the love of drama, but so much of it is staged or manufactured. I got a subscription to one tabloid just so I could try to keep tabs on pop culture, but I can’t even bring myself to flip through it any more since it all seems like such bullshit. I mean there has to be enough actual dirt that you don’t need to make stuff up I would think - no? But I guess not. Ok, maybe it won’t always be the really juicy stuff, but come on, have a little respect for you readers - just a teeny, tiny little bit. It’s demeaning otherwise.
I don’t understand the appeal of the K’s either. If one wants to see big curvy butts they can just do a Google image search and skip the mind-numbing dialog.
So is “All My Children”. I’m not a representative sample but I’d guess many/most/some (I hope more than “some”?) people realize they’re not seeing “reality” when they watch it.
They are primarily famous because one of them made a Paris Hilton-style sex tape (or rather, a sex tape was made of her.) Since she was Robert Kardashian’s daughter and Bruce Jenner’s stepdaughter, this made the gossip pages. It all snowballed from there until they got a show on E!.
I doubt many of the people watching the show appreciate big curvy (female) butts.
I actually forced myself to watch a minute of the show this weekend, just to see what all the hubbub was about.
The gigantic, ape-like female was complaining about her camel toe. Her more-attractive sister told her to wear looser pants or longer shirts. Instead, the ape called her mom and yelled at her for passing down her (apparently) hereditary camel toe.
I gaped at the TV, turned it off, and went to bed. I get enough of the Kardashian’s while standing in line at the supermarket. They are on EVERY tabloid cover. How much does Kris Jenner pay US Weekly to keep them on the cover every week?
Well, that’s just a corollary to what I said. It’s a (semi-real) soap opera. And all soap operas deal primarily with families that are rich & beautiful because most people like to watch rich & beautiful people laugh, cry, argue and/or fuck! So that’s the gist behind pretty much every reality show now (i.e. they’re just a form of soap opera). I never found soap operas entertaining either, but it’s not hard to see why others did/do…
For me, the only involuntary exposure to them comes on the supermarket checkout line. As I go by the tabloids I can catch up on all the incredibly unimportant celeb news - sexiest people alive who are not, plastic Kardashian robots, plots of soap operas that I’d thought defunct years ago, and somebody called Jennifer Aniston.
*sometimes there is additional, voluntary exposure through the stacks of People magazine in the break room. There is time to scan pretty much an entire issue while waiting for your lunch to reheat in the microwave.
