Disgusted at celebrities...

After hearing today about Kim Kardashian's divorce with her husband after 72 days of marriage (and a $10 million dollar wedding), I am just repulsed at how celebrities behave. Just because they have the money to do it, doesn't mean that they should look at marriages as something disposable and unfixable as soon as one disagreement hits the fan.

They are horrible role models for children, whether it be about weight, marriage and family, or drugs. I really wish that America would stop giving them so much media attention.

    Frankly, I'm appalled that anyone spends $10 million on a wedding....

    Thinking of what good that money could have done... wow.

    It's not just the media. It's ppl like you (and now me) talking about them.

    The real kicker is why do you care? It gives the tabloids and media more reason to exploit the situation

    I wonder if they will have to pay back all the money they made on that wedding. Not to mention everything the guest gave.
    I wish those people would just go away.

    I care because of the message it sends out to young people. We already have a divorce rate of 60% in America. Are these the kinds of things that we want young people to be emulating?

    It only bothers me when people say that gay marriage would ruin the sanctity of marriage. Really? I don't see anyone protesting to take away Kim Kardashian's right to get married for a few weeks to increase her reality show ratings...

    I don't know about all celebrities but the Kardashins are idiots. If Kim didn't have her looks and a butt that you could rest a beer can on, they wouldn't have anything. She can't act, can't sing, can't model, not an athelete, scholar, etc. etc. etc.

    If you allow your kids to see the Kardashians as role models YOU are their biggest problem, not celebrities.

    I didn't know about this until I read this. I tend to not care or read about vapid celebrities.

    and also, it doesn't really HAVE to send out a message to young people.
    My kids have no idea who Kim Kardashian is.


    And no reason whatsoever they need to.

    If your child does know who she is, that's probably the bigger concern.

    Yes, I agree, but a 72 day marriage isn't making any effort at all to make it work. Yes, I am being judgemental, because I believe marriage is a sacred and special thing and I'm tired of seeing people who only add to the divorce rate in our country.

    we live in a youth and beauty obsessed hyper consumption culture. celebrity and pop culture make us feel inadequate or make us feel better how screwed up they are. either way unhealthy. :smokin:

    People get divorced. It's life, the divorce rate is up because people are becoming smarter and learning when enough is enough.
    At least they did it before they had children. Sometimes if just not right for anyone involved.

    Stop judging.

    KK is a trashy as it can get....so I didn't expect any less from her. I agree if it was a party they wanted, they didn't have to get married.
