I broke down and started reading the details of the Miss Delaware Teen USA “scandal” this morning. I had been purposefully avoiding it because I don’t consider such things actual news. Who the hell cares that a stupid teenager was stupid enough to allegedly engage in sexual activity on camera? Who the hell cares about a Miss Delaware Teen USA? What the hell is a Miss Delaware Teen USA, and for that matter the winner of any of the other beauty pagents out there? Why do we even hold them up as some kind of paragons of virtue? I guess I can understand holding a contest to determine which of the contestants is the most beautiful and well rounded person in that year’s competition. But why then do we act like the winner of that meaningless contest is somehow given royal duties and then acts like a Head of State for a year?
I have not watched one second of any of the Kardashian crap. Do you want to know why? Because no one of those Kardashian offspring, or even the widow Kardashian, have done one damn thing on their own to earn their notoriety. Their father was a successful lawyer. And his represenatation of OJ Simpson some twenty years ago made him a brief and minor household name. How that makes his children and his widow celebrities worthy of a reality show and our devotion is beyond me. I feel the same way about Melissa King. Why this is a front page story on the News Journal must be for reasons passing all logic and understanding.
Thus, I find it fitting that Melissa King quoted one of the Kardashian leeches’ tweets in the News Journal Article. Because that is the path she, and we, want her to take.
