Keeping up with whom?


Tacky, dull, and brainless. These are the first words which spring to mind when I was forced to watch episodes of a so-called hit reality show ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’. However I am glad to note that this show is not from our soil. Oh no, of course it has been imported from moral-avoiding America.
What is apparent is that the girls featured in the show, are from a privileged barbarian background, yet show no desire to educate themselves in the ways of the world; it’s all about fast cars and false lashes – and the capability to MOAN.
Appealing to the base emotions of the viewer, the shows half hearted attempt to showcase the values and importance of family goes by the wayside and is instead taken over by materialistic self obsessed, scantily clad females with screechy voices who ‘try’ to run a clothes store by means of a career. Or pose nude for playboy – whatever floats your boat.
Suffice to say the show provides no educational purpose, no cultural diversity, and no moral virtues. If shows like this are continually granted permission to be broadcast, than I foresee little hope for the future. The masses indeed will surely find trash such as this appealing and therefore the machine will undoubtedly triumph.
