I hate to sound paranoid or conspiracy-minded but I am thoroughly convinced that one of the goals of the entertainment industry is the normalization of pornography. That is to say, they want to move society to the point that we see little difference between people who have sex on film and any other form of entertainment.

There no longer seems to be a sense of shame, except of course, that which is directed towards those who think there should be.

Van Wijk, my thoughts _exactly_! I remember the very day of the O. J. verdict, and Kardashian’s expression. Ultimately, though, Kardashian will probably be remembered as the father of slutty daughters.

Fox News has always been sensationalistic. There is all kinds of celebrity gossip on the Fox News website. I think the reason for this is Murdoch himself built his business empire on tabloids (nearly all Australian and UK papers are tabloids) and, therefor, he knows this kind of sensationalism and celebrity gossip really does sell.

Fox News, however, is not as conservative as liberals claim. After all, they do have the uber-liberal Geraldo Rivera and Sheppard Smith seems rather liberal as well.

I never watch these “reality” television shows. The few times I’ve seen them, they have struck me as quite silly. I was not aware that “success” was defined as having or being in one of them.

Hannity is a sort of goof but his political instincts are usually pretty good. As far as his infatuation with rock bands and various trollops of the month are concerned I put it to being a New Yorker and being on the edge of sho-biz notoriety. As I’ve said many times before, nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

Check out Kardashian's reaction to the verdict in the O.J. Simpson trial. I don't think he ever even entertained the possibility that his man might be found not guilty.

I couldn’t post on the ebonics post, but I think I have the perfect ebonics expert:

“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became” – provides an interesting definition of “success”. Once upon a time, America could measure success by being a skilled craftsman, running a profitable farm, creating a business, writing books, publishing research, manufacturing a product, or playing a concerto. Now SUCCESS is getting your name splattered on some global equivalent of the bathroom wall. I guess if you have a name and a body and no discernable talent, you can be a success.

Fishburne is more concerned about his embarrassment than over the fact that the daughter to whom he imparted (or, more likely, failed to impart) moral values has none. Events such as these make me appreciate the steadying value of a religious community in our culture of Global Garbage – at least for an atheistic scientist dad trying to raise a teenager by himself.

Who knows what the Kardashian sisters’ famous father might have thought of their antics: he died in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kardashian He was best known for being a lawyer to, and friend of, O.J. Simpson.

Regardless, Sean Hannity should stop singing the praises of porn star Kim. And Laurence Fishburne is correct to upbraid his daughter.
