Kardashian....ugh

Okay honestly I have to confess the following:  I've watched some of the Kardashian shows because, frankly, it's like a train wreck.  I can't look away.  I've seen a half dozen posts, though, about Kim Kardashian posting her pregnant body and I have cringed every time I see this.  Ughhhhh more Kardashians?  Really?  Opinions on the family? Sure...allow me to share.....

First of all, I honestly wish that Kylie Jenner is a train wreck waiting to happen.  Maybe I'm wrong.  She was a stunning girl before she decided to pump her lips with whatever the hell she pumped them with.  Now she looks fake...and it's sad to me. 

Secondly, I think that all of the other girls are beautiful.  Kendall is a stunning, frankly, and, for all practical purposes seems like she's actually living her life and doing her own thing.  The girls are beautiful.  With that being said, the amount of plastic surgery in that family is staggering and I have to wonder what they'd look like if it wasn't for those surgeries.

Third, I think it is absurd that anyone (including but not limited to Kardashians) feels the need to explain themselves to the point of posting a completely nude photo of your pregnant body to fight critics.  Come off it.  If you're really THAT concerned with whether or not someone is calling you "fat" when you're pregnant, you are focusing on the wrong things.  Who CARES if you're fat when you're pregnant and who cares who says it?  You're not fighting off critics, you're looking for attention.  Period.

Fourth, most the crap on that show (and in the media, for that matter) is drummed up for attention.  They hype it and make it look worse (or better, in some cases) than it is for ratings.  It's a common thing in TV.  Just remember, if you're watching, that the hand is quicker than the eye, so to speak.  They're creating something to draw your attention.

Fifth, you can criticize them for a lot of things but they have definitely  built an empire and, frankly, you can't tell me that if you had an opportunity to use five seconds of fame to build a clothing line, colognes, etc that you wouldn't think awfully hard about it.  Realistically speaking, they've created a successful business from what started as a sex tape scandal.  Crazy, right?

and finally.....

The more attention you give to them, the longer they'll stick around.....and they know that.  If things get too quiet, they'll disappear into the woodwork so there HAS to be scandal all of the time.  The media thrives on sex and drama and they are quite content to make a big deal of both if it means that they continue to make money.  Honestly, it's a great business strategy for the type of business they have.  With that being said, this post (even) gives them more attention than I care, at this point.  Stop buying the magazines, watching the shows and just let this family go away and live normal lives.  Give our generation some role models that don't thrive on these morals.

P.S. Kim, you look fine being pregnant.  You don't need to take off your clothes to get attention. Be pregnant and focus on your family, not on whether or not someone thinks you're too fat.
