Family Problems

Remember when everyone was avoiding the black plague? No? Of course you don't because you weren't alive. But hopefully you've read about it.

Anyone that lives in the year 2013 is probably familiar with the name Kardashian. Perhaps you've seen their TV show on E! Or maybe you saw Kim's home movie from a few years back. For some reason, these people are all over the news.

I respect the fact that E! has their reality show, and I have no qualms with the existence of this show.  In fact, I have no problems with people watching the show. My issue lies in the fact that their celebrity extends beyond their reality show. I try to avoid their lives, I avoid it like the plague, but no matter what I do they seem to pop up.

I like to read the news in hopes of learning a thing or two about the current state of our country. Instead of articles that are truly informative, I get flooded with shit about the Kardashians. To be completely honest, I don't give a fuck about them. While I'm sure that many people share my feelings on the family, I'm also not a complete idiot. I know that news sources publish stories on the Kardashians because people seem to care. When the Kardashian name is in the headlines, people will read the article.

So I encourage anyone who is reading this post to reflect for a moment and think of what is really important in their lives. Is it your family? Or the Kardashians?
