According to Uproxx, 16 pages of next month’s issue are dedicated to the family clan made famous by sisters Kim and Khloe‘s exploits in reality television, smartphone apps, and many, many other business endeavors. At this point, the Kardashian family is no longer a family — it’s a brand.

The only thing she has going for her is she's married to Kanye West which in itself is a nightmare. Oh, and she has a big butt.

Even the Kennedys could put on a veneer of class from time to time. This slovenly clan doesn’t even make the pretenders and indeed revels in its squalor.

The sad thing is the rest of the world follows the Kardashians, they are now the official torch bearers for what passes as American Culture today across the globe.

The only thing bigger than talentless big mouth Kanye’s ego, is his wife’s play dough enhanced tuchas.

Those of you over 50 will understand this: The Kardashians are this generation’s version of the Gabor sisters.

Well, I gotta say this. They have been able to market “nothingness” and made a bundle doing it. There is NO end to the supply of dumbasses out there.
