Peak Kardashian?

At The Daily Beast, Amy Zimmerman has a fun article pondering the activities of the Kardashians over the last few days and it's a doozy. Sample paragraph:


On Monday Kylie Jenner launched a chemtrail conspiracy theory from her personal Twitter. The 17-year-old accused some unknown enemy (Aviation officials? Blac Chyna?) of poisoning the world and killing the honeybees with airplane emissions in an energetic meme that can only be described as syntactically “on one”. With her modern ideas on grammar and prose form, her anti-government paranoia, and her 25-year-old boyfriend, Kylie is the closest thing the Jenner family will ever have to a college graduate. 

You can read the entire story here. As I said a few posts ago, I usually don't praise the Ks but I will point out that unlike that other reality TV family where no one goes to college, no one in the Kardashian-Jenner clan has been accused of molesting children. (And please, God, let that continue to be true.) They're monumentally annoying but they aren't telling people how to live, and that's something. At least as far as I know, (and, please, God, let this also continue to be true) they don't endorse politicians or make hateful robocalls encouraging voters to support discriminatory laws.
