    It’s really just the classic celebrity trap. The Kardashians are celebrities because we keep talking about them, and we keep talking about them because they’re celebrities. (also something about the OJ trial originally). Like, can we just focus on something else.

      Weird thing is I’ve never once heard anyone in my real life (this includes extended family on both sides & work colleagues) say anything about the Kardashians. I can’t even form an image in my mind of what the “typical Kardashian viewer” is like because I’ve honestly never met even one.

        Well, there is also something to be said for the media pushing this crap down in the first place.
