Let me get this straight. All across America, Occupy groups are protesting the large profits taken in by those evil corporations and banks. But when a family like the Kardashians gets rich without any marketable skills or talents (not including the talents on display in Kim’s home video with Ray J, of course) Americans can‘t get enough. The K-dash Klan is adored and idolized. Yeah, makes sense to me because that’s the new American way.
In 2010 the Kardashian family had an estimated income of $65 million. And I defy any one of you to tell me something significant or worthwhile any of them did. Kim threw herself a 30th birthday party. Kourtney and Khloe did nothing; like they usually do. We’ve come to expect Kim to be the face of the sisters. She’s had high-profile romances with football players Reggie Bush and Miles Austin as well as a brief marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries (and I’ll get back to that later). She’s posed in Playboy. Khloe is married to Lamar Odom. You all just said, “who?!”, didn’t you?
Unlike people who have gone to college and worked their way through the corporate rat race the Kardashian family has never lived on Ramen or Hamburger Helper. They have never had to juggle bills or sell things on eBay to have money for Christmas presents. But their greed is not protested. And the force behind it is Kris Jenner, the mother.
Kris Jenner manages the girls’ enterprises. Do you want Kim to appear at a grand opening or party? Be ready to drop $100,000; if you are in the United States. Having Kim appear at a foreign venue could cost you a cool one million American dollars. And if that weren’t enough, Kris found a way to cash in on the Twitter craze. If you want Kim to endorse your product or service via Twitter, write a check for $25,000. Kris Jenner personifies greed. She won't even consider something unless it comes with a five-figure payment.
Now back to the biggest farce America has seen since Oliver Stone’s W.. Most people have to spend money on their wedding. Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries earned $15 million (and how much of that do you think KH actually saw?). After the big production and the showboating for the cameras, the marriage lasted 72 days. They should have to return every single gift they received.
The Kardashian family got rich from promoting excess. Excess is what rich republicans are accused of every day and is something the Occupy crowd claims to be rallying against. Maybe it’s time for a new approach.
I hereby call on all Americans to begin a new Occupy movement: Occupy Kardashian. It’s time we picket and camp out across the street from the homes of the Kardashian sisters and their parents. We need to gather outside the Dash stores and yell at people going in and out. Let’s show the Kardashians how much we resent their lives of excess while the rest of us actually have to use real skills and talent to earn a living.
I mean, if you can’t get rich for being a no-talent attention whore in America, what do we have left?
