Daveysil15

The model Kim Kardashian's title as the "hottest woman in the world" in a men's magazine sums up "almost everything that is wrong with Western society”, according to a leading private school headmistress.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2161861/Does-Kim-Kardashian-really-sum-thats-wrong-British-society-The-head-leading-girls-boarding-school-thinks-so.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

The headline, from an edition last month, praises Miss Kardashian as 'the hottest woman in the world'.
'It is not too strong a statement, I venture to suggest, to say that almost everything that is wrong with Western society today can be summed up in that one symbolic photo of Miss Kim Kardashian on the front of Zoo magazine,' Dr Wright will say.
'The descent of Western civilisation can practically be read into every curve, of which, you will note, there are in-deed many.

'Officially the hottest woman in the world? Really? Is this what we want our young people to aim for? Is this what success should mean to them?' Miss Kardashian – who was photographed in Paris yesterday wearing rather more than usual – first became famous when a sex tape of her appeared online in 2007.
Her late father, Robert Kardashian, was a defence lawyer for OJ Simpson in his 1995 murder trial.
Dr Wright, head of St Mary's School, Calne, Wiltshire, will say that Miss Kardashian is famous for her reality TV series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, 'for hanging out with the rich and famous, for a sex tape, a 72-day marriage and a rather ample backside'.

Can't stand Kim Kardashian and her mob myself.
Fodder for the dumbed-down masses.

The King of Moo

She's making a bit of a leap. There are plenty of arguments one might make as to why Kim represents all that's wrong with society, but I don't see how her coming top of a poll of beautiful people represents anything other than the fact that lots of people think she's good looking.

Pushtrak

Crap threads about crap celebrities sums up everything that is wrong with internet forums.






(Still hyperbole, but closer to truth.)

The piece that is missing from "almost" is that we have to listen and look at ugly cows like that head mistress spouting s****. Then "everything that is wrong with Western society" is complete

Yeah I wonder if the head mistress looked the same as Kim would she have made the same statement?

Wow she is far better looking actually. I didn't even know she had a sister tbh!

She does have a lovely bum though.

The winner doesn't sum up how society is doomed.. the fact that such a meaningless title exists does.

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

She's a great role model for health in fairness. I remember a few years ago overweight people were being lauded. The likes of James Corden, Beth Ditto, Kelly Osborne (before she lost the weight) and Heather from Eastenders were being championed for being "Real" people. If young women want to grow up and have a body like Kim Kardashian then that can only be a good thing. She is a perfect specimen of good health, excersise and healthy eating.

OhLongJohnson

Oh great, that random woman in the backarse of nowhere has finally let the world know what she thinks of the Kardashians.

Finally we have news worth reporting.

Don't forget sucking dick on camera to get rich and famous.
A terrible role model. She is not the perfect specimen for women to want to grow up to. You realize you're talking about children don't you? You want children to idolize a vapid porno star turned reality TV star?

Exercise and healthy eating are the last things people think about when they hear Kim Kardashians name. Unless you mean eating a cock.

The article wasn't in reference to her fitness. It's more to do with the reality TV crap and how she came to fame. There's nothing wrong with promoting health and fitness. Actually I'd rather see women aspiring to look like her, rather than trying to be a size 0. The skinny super models are sending out a worse example.

Cookie_Monster

While it may be a bit of an over the top rant, she ain't wrong that the obsession with celebrity and talentless bimbos who look good is a bit of a damning statement about what society values.

She did say everything that is wrong with western society. A major problem with Western Society and the youth of today is obesity and general unhealthiness. I was pointing out that if there is one thing and probably the only thing that is great about Kim Kardashian and the youths obsession with her, is that she would promote healthy living.

What does the woman's looks have to do with what she says? Would you agree with her if she was a ride?

Kim Kardashian is hot, but her life is vapid.

Pottler

Kim Kardshian is more of a ride than that headmistress, therefore she wins. According to my 15 year old son, who knows everything.:D I used to at that age as well. I now know nothing. Who is Kim Kardashian?

MrJM

Who cares about what that airhead thinks, she isn't gonna change the world.

Patrick Cleburne

Disagree OP. I would say that would have to go to the Roman Catholic Priests who are famous the world over for buggering children and destroying young lives and then getting the Pope to cover it up.

But seriously? You agree with her words or you don't, what she looks like should be secondary.

Anyone that easily swayed by a celebrities antics probably needs to remind themselves to breath in & out.
Big deal she has a past & she exploited it to make millions. Somehow I think she's not too bothered about people putting her down.
Gorgeous looking woman, wears a bit too much make up though.
Live & let live.

Daveysil15

There's plenty of talentless women that make a living from their looks. I don't have much of a problem with that - its the stupid reality TV shows like Big Brother, and more recently in Ireland, Tallafornia and Dublin Housewives that I don't like. There's nothing wrong with been a model, but a model that uses a TV show like one of these to further her career is sad.

Exactly, being a genuine working model (ie. working for renowned designers or scoring large campaigns) is hard work. I wouldn't put Kim K into this category.

Patrick Cleburne

Why is it sad? All she does is earn a living by selling a product (herself) to people who are into that sort of thing. No different from people who buy OK magazine to find out the latest gossip or go on websites like Mr Paparazzi which gives that site hits and money which just feeds the system.

She isn't the first and won't be the last.

I think its unfair to soley blame one person aka kim kardashian,i think with regards to lack of values and placing only value in monetary and materialistic terms it is pretty bad,in their life its all about what you have and who you can name drop so from that point of view it is bad..
but thats reality tv today,its all about feathering your nest with as much as you can get..

average hero

Personally I think she is gorgeous but her life is not one I would want my children to aspire to. She got famous from being in a home porno with rapper Ray J. Not a role model.

In today's western society, we have a very low context culture, where everything is stated explicitly and frankly I dislike where western culture and todays youth are headed.

Also, it is noticeable that children in higher context cultures (India for example) aspire to become teachers and doctors, and children in western culture all want to be models and tv personalities etc

Radharc na Sleibhte

I did like the pic Kanye put on twitter.

christmas2012

Ill be honest western culture is dead as far as im concerned it should be back to basics,kids in my youth even got away with everything,its all about what you can get,instant gratification,and value is put in the wrong direction its all about how to get rich,and not about family value anymore,for instance you can walk into any family home now and see everyone with a tv in their own room,on their own on the internet or whatever,with their ipod and their other yokes iphone or whatever..
nobody is keeping an eye on what anybody is up to anymore its all very different now..even when i was a kid in the 90's it was all about calling to your neighbour now you mighnt see them for weeks and you always have to email or ring or something,no knocking on the door out of the blue..well i still do that but anyway you get my drift

Exactly, its setting a bad example. Some young girls aspire to this rather than getting a proper education and focusing on real talents.

I don't know why she singled out Kim Kardashian to be the poster girl for the issue of women's appearance being promoted as more important than achievement; it's not as if there's a shortage of vacuous women relying on their bodies to get them noticed and to make money.

I don't know much about her, except that she married some chap to boost the ratings of her show, apparently, and the marriage lasted no time at all.

The lovely Daniel Craig didn't hold back when slagging her off recently:

“‘Ooh I want to be alone.’ F*** you! We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. You filmed it for us and showed us the placenta and now you want some privacy? They’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f***ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’”

http://thedishmaster.com/2011/12/quote-of-the-day-daniel-craig-bashes-the-kardashians.html

I think the headmistress' point about how sad it is so many young women are aspiring to be judged on their appearance and sexiness alone is valid, but I wonder why she chose Kim Kardashian.

bnt

All I know about the Kardashians is from the occasional story on news websites. When I first heard the name, I thought it was something to do with the Cardassians from Star Trek. The family has money thanks to her dad's job as a lawyer who made his name successfully defending O.J. Simpson in his murder trial. There's just ... nothing there. A non-person in any sense that might get my brain in gear.

That's very true. Maybe her students like her a lot.

Social conservatism.
*yawn*

OhLongJohnson

If Kim Kardashian is an airhead, what does that make those who support her?

Mind you, the very same people support things like Geordie/Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives, etc, etc,etc.

It seems to be predominantly women who are fueling the support for these genres. Why the hell is that?

christmas2012

I admit to watching the reality tv show....ONCE,it was mostly crap,all name dropping and who owns what and who can buy what for such and such amount of money it was ridiculous,thats all the reality show seemed to be about,it doesnt seem like they live in reality..I mean she married a guy she didnt even know very well for a whole of 72 days what does that tell ya..
