Here is a quote from actor Jon Hamm "Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated,” he said in the April issue of Elle UK. “Being a fucking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly. Incuriousness has become cool… It’s celebrated. It doesn’t make sense to me.”
Jon is correct in every aspect of what he said, but it is because "it doesn't make sense" that keeps people and shows like this on TV popular and making millions of dollars. The less sense it makes, the more it attracts people. Why? because it's not real to anyone. Yes the Kardashian family lives in the real world, but their viewers take a trip to another world. Their viewers cannot in a million years relate to them or their lifestyle, but people are intrigued by it. It gives people a sense that their lives are not as exciting as the one Kim lives and thus need to keep up with her life.
Their viewers can even not like them because of their actions but will come back for more. This is because eventually Kim will been seen as the victim. In a commercial for her show you can see the tears and regret that Kim made when marring Kris Humpries, hell even Kris Humpries gets booed because he was married to her. Why do people care? or boo him? Does it matter he married Kim Kardashian? People wouldn't have known him if it wasn't for him marring her. People should be booing him for wasting air time on both "keeping up with the Kardashians" and watching New Jersey Nets games (the equivalent of watching keeping up with the Kardashians).
Jon has a right to be angry. He works hard to perfect his craft and he is awesome at it. Yet here are people who make an idiot out of themselves and are promoted more than a person who is a great actor. Sorry to say they are not in the same league. If you want to see how great Jon Hamm is then watch Madmen which will premiere it's 5th season on Sunday March 25th.
