Kim Kardashian Wedding Outrage

Over the past week or so, I've been visiting some of my favorite online websites to read news updates. I have been truly disappointed and disgusted to read the amount of coverage of the Kim Kardashian wedding, which recently passed (thankfully).

Not only did the other sites I frequent inundate us daily with top story updates prior to the wedding, they are now inundating us all with coverage of the "aftermath" of the wedding with articles titled "Kim Kardashian's Wedding: The Aftermath" and "Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Take Flight For European Honeymoon." They have even gone so far as to compare this wedding with the royal wedding in London. These articles display at the top of the news listings just about every day!

As of this posting, 5 out of 6 of the most popular stories on one of my favorite "serious news" websites are related to Kim Kardashian. This is on the same day that Libyan rebels declared tentative victory in their country after a 40-year dictatorship.

Now I hate to add to this ridiculous trend with yet another mention of this story, but I felt it necessary to speak on behalf of the people. Yea, the real everyday American people who can't afford a $1,000 wedding let alone a $30 million extravaganza.

People are struggling. The economy is suffering. Americans do not want to open their browsers or newspapers every morning and read about how a former porn star slash reality star is getting married and managed to make an $18 million profit off of her nuptials.

Meanwhile some poor family might be scraping by with $18 in their bank account until the next pay day arrives.

There is major blowback and outrage from the masses rising against the Kardashians, similar attention-seeking celebrities and the media in general for keeping them relevant. It is no longer cool or cute. If you read the comments of articles on the Kardashian wedding the message to the media is clear: stop shoving celebrities down our throats.

People want to hear about stories that affect them and the average American.The disgust is not so much directed at the wedding itself, but the amount of coverage the media is giving this "story" in comparison to major news like the Libyan revolution and the upcoming jobs bill.

It's time for the mainstream media to wake up and realize that the majority of Americans, even the young people, are starting to see how silly it is to worship celebrities. They realize that many of these celebs are manufactured, vapid and unworthy of our attention.

And it's clear that they do not live in the same world as the rest of us.
