I have a COLOSSAL issue with magazine covers like these.
1. They're bull-shit. Lies, exaggerations, airbrushing, and photo shopping at it's best. (or worst)
2. I'm not sure why any of it is "news". Famous or not the rest of us sure wouldn't like our dirty laundry aired for the world to see.
3. They're just plain MEAN!
I see women (sorry ladies it's usually us) waiting in line, with their PJ pants and slippers on flipping through these magazines. And with crappy little looks on their faces, they shake their heads and suck on their teeth. Meanwhile your five year old just ran the cart into some poor guy who only came to get some laundry detergent: OK, he was actually getting maxi pads for his wife and trying to keep it on the down low but your son made a scene and exposed him to everyone in lanes 5-10. How about you wipe your kids nose before you worry about Kim Kardashian's fat ass!
Let's discuss the cover of this delightful rag mag, shall we? The little circle at the top of the page with Kim eating the ice cream was put on there for what reason? Do you know of ANYONE that eats an ice cream cone with out looking a little sloppy and, let's be honest, a little seductive? It looks a little sunny in that picture, ice cream melts the last time I checked, YOU HAVE TO EAT THAT SHIT FAST! And unless this woman is lactose intolerant I really see no problem with it."DEVASTATED KIM FINDS COMFORT IN FOOD" Man! That's the fist time I've heard of anyone using food as a way to feel better. Hiding candy and binging later? Hell I have a full drawer of hidden snacks. I've got kids, it's safer for them if they leave my stash alone! Maybe Kanye has a sweet tooth. A pregnant woman will mess you up you try and take her food! YES! She probably is fearful about never getting her body back, and if not she should be. Cause guess what sugar, extra weight or not. YOUR BODY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. Not because of the candy bars and late night crave runs. You have a parasite taking all your "good juju", and that parasite will continue taking for 40 weeks! 40 weeks, and then for LIFE! And with every year they take a little more of your mind. So instead of poking fun at our cover of the month, we should be feeling sorry for her.
OK, indulge me for a minute. I can eat a whole 14oz bag of Swedish Fish in one sitting: does this make you better than me? NO! I'm a vegetarian: if you eat an entire hog every night for dinner, am I better than you? NO! It simply means that we could take my tooth decay (with a diabetes chaser) and your clogged arteries, find a chain smoker and an alcoholic and we could have one hell of a party! All joking aside, I've never understood why we would judge another person, based on anything, but especially in a setting where we really have no idea what's going on. Famous people are in fact people. Your neighbor is struggling through life just like you. Your boss has had problems in their past that affect decisions they make today. (must repeat to myself 100 times a day) And your children are watching you judge all of the people around them, all while you are pushing your problems aside and scolding them for acting just like you. Back off, have some compassion, and save your three bucks!
Lastly, in regards to the ice cream shot, Kudos Mr. West...KUDOS.
