It's like the Kardashian culture we're living in. There is no compass.
"Here’s why America should care: The Kardashian saga illustrates our nation’s moral, spiritual and cultural decay like few other media stories do. America of 50 years ago would regard
Ms. Kardashian with a mixture of disdain and pity, embarrassed by the very idea of a young lady’s most private moments being broadcast for all the world to see. America of 25 years ago would stop and think before promoting through business channels a figure with such sordid background and negligible public relations attributes."

How can that be?
How can a glorified porn star rise from bed to national esteem in such a few short years? Recall what the normally liberal, Hollywood-adoring Huffington Post said in a Nov. 2 story: “
Kim Kardashian owes a large part of her fame to the release of her sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J.”
Kim won a $5 million settlement from the company that released her sex video in 2007 — and within weeks the entire family was up and running with a reality television show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” featuring the nationally televised drama of
Kim’s farce of a marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries (to whom she is still legally hitched). Coincidence? Then there’s this: It wasn’t until after this tape was released that the Kardashian sisters’ clothing business really soared, finding new markets from Qatar to Indonesia in 2012.
“
Kardashian’s first sex tape with Ray J was shot in 2003 and released in 2007,” the Huffington Post article continued. “Since then the brunette beauty and her family have gone on to dominate the world of reality TV and beyond. Most recently, there have been reports that the singer’s boyfriend
Kanye West had a couple of his own sex tapes being shopped around, one of which was said to feature a
Kardashian lookalike.”
Ugh. The rot just goes deeper.
