IMDB Bio of the Day: Much to the Internets’ delight, IMDB writer Jon Hopwood profiled Kim Kardashian in a thoughtful, well-argued roast of an IMDB bio.
Choice highlights:
Kim Kardashian is emblematic of the shallowness of American culture in the first two decades of the new millennium. While some cultural critics call her the prime avatar of the “famous for being famous” faux celebrity crowd, she along with Paris Hilton is a new breed of cat whose celebrity comes from the release of a sex tape and the canny exploitation of the resulting publicity. Like her good friend Miss Hilton (their relationship predates Kim’s “celebrity”, Kardashian is possessed of photogenic good looks but is short of any other discernible talents outside of the bedroom. Both expanded their celebrity by becoming reality TV “stars”.
Porn pioneer Harry Reems has commented how surprised he is at how porn stars like Jenna Jameson are accepted now in mainstream culture. His life was ruined by his participation in porn in its “Golden Years”. As for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, the release (accidental or not-so-accidental) of boudoir tapes didn’t result in shame but celebration. America like ancient Rome seems to have shuffled off the moral coil of virtue of the Republic and is now enjoying its Imperial self in an orgy of ignominy. It’s always more fun on the toboggan ride down the hill than it was schlepping up it in the first place.
Thankfully, a few screen grabs were snagged before the site was alerted to Hopwood’s shenanigans and took the bio down. Well played, Hopwood.

This is fantastic, and I hope that dumb bitch saw this.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m42jy4Q0Hr1qzpwi0o1_500.png)

Ok you know what, I’m just gonna say it right now. I’m not reposting this because I like it. Quite the opposite. I hate it. And here’s why:
I see t-shirt designs like these posted every fucking day on tumblr that are just combining two franchises into one thing and suddenly it’s clever. No. It isn’t. At all. It’s just about the most unoriginal bland, blah, trite thing you can do, and as an artist and an illustrator I really hope this awful fad dies out soon.
A good judge of being able to tell if someone has poor taste is if they buy one of these shirts.

men are questioned about their masculinity if they are effeminate; if they are more expressive with their emotions, pay attention to the way they dress, are smaller in stature then most other males, or pay attention to things other then sports, breaking things, or machines.
in media it’s…
I think a lot of the problem is sadly much of our society is still misogynistic but completely in denial of it. It kind of sucks that it’s probably going to take longer than we would ideally like to shut off that “monkey brain” part of us, but that’s the way the evolutionary ball rolls unfortunately.
I’ve never understood people who aren’t able to step away from themselves and analyze that they are simply perpetuating the stereotype of the “alpha male” or the “boxom bimbo” and instead feel comfortable in following the mindless herd. These are the same kinds of people who never question how the universe might work or any possibilities beyond what they are spoon-fed as children. And on the same subject, it isn’t so much religion itself that’s dangerous (because after all, it’s just works of fiction) to human progress, but the people who give these false accusations, tangible power.
