I was reading through Kim Kardashian’s letter to her fans, because I’m some sort of asshole who likes to read things that that will make me angry, and while the whole thing is just sort of stupid and ridiculous and sad (did I mention it is stupid? It really is you guys), there was one line that really jumped off the screen at me and it nearly made me audibly laugh and/or cry (tears of pure joy),
“I’m being honest here and I hope you respect my courage because this isn’t easy to go through.”
You hope we respect your courage? What kind of shit thing is that to say? I mean, really? Congratulations on getting divorced after having three meals with your new husband? OK FINE, you are courageous and inspirational to us all! Hey, people suffering from debilitating illness, or people who have to skip meals so their children can eat…respect Kim’s courage! If being an asshole were an Olympic sport, Kim would have all of the gold medals. The silver and bronze ones too, I suppose, because who would even try to enter that competition? OK, maybe Donald Trump would sneak in there upset her for a silver medal or something. WHATEVER.
I picture Kim sitting in front a computer, Skyping with the PR person who eventually sat down and barfed this thing out onto the internet, trying to come up with a line that would be her “FDR, ask not what your country can do for you” moment and this is where they came down. Good job. No, great job. For me, the only really good thing that has come out of this divorce is that I no longer have to worry about being in charge of building a moat around Minnesota to keep Kim out. Now, let’s never speak of this again.
