Malaysia Airliner Gone; Victims' Families Get Word via TEXT & Kimye on Vogue (UGH)


What the FUCK, Malaysia Airlines?!
What gave you the idea to send out text messages--text messages!--to the families of the victims, thinking they would be fine with this, and move on with their lives?
This is the stupidest thing any airliner has EVER done. I've never heard of any airliner doing something worse. You could've sent them a personal video about your regret on the matter or have them sent to a conference room and told them in person. The genius made that idea needs to be fired...and then killed...and then have their brain dissected to find out why this ever crossed their mind. If they wanted this plan to make the families cry, faint and be close to violently inconsolable, they should be so lucky, because it happened.
Man, this makes me sick!
My deepest sympathies to the families of the victims.

Now to some even more sad news this month. No, nothing on death, or anyone missing. It has to do with Ms. Famous for Being Famous and Mr. Best Videos of All Time. Yes, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West appear in next month's issue of Vogue magazine. (You can pretty much tell I'm going to rant about this, especially after the couple announced last June their baby's name is North.) Editor Anna Wintour previously refused to have Kim on the cover, saying that this can happen "over my dead body", obviously joining the crowd that wants nothing to with her ass...and the rest of her, too. Now she changes her mind, and people assume that Kanye begged her to have him and Kim on the cover. She insists he did no such thing, and it was her team's decision.

It's pretty obvious I don't read Vogue, yet even I'm disgusted by this. We all know that Kim K. basically weaseled into fame doing everything from a reality show to a fashion line to a short film career

(and we all know that turned out.) Yet since she’s been with Kanye West, she’s been given everything he can give her and takes it. See the many videos and pics on TMZ about them and the video for his song “Bound 2”.

Now that they’re on the cover of Vogue, apparently, everyone else found this so disgraceful that this cover alone is a step down from the mag's standards and legacy. Sarah Michelle Gellar led the criticism, and made this new demand on Twitter:

and has (unsurprisingly) led to parodies and satires of it from, among other things,

Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy,


Al Roker and Willie Geist from Today,


Mama June from Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo (this is fan-made),

and James Franco and Seth Rogen, who previously parodied Kimye in “Bound 3”, the shot-for-shot parody of ‘Bound 2“.
Isn't that cute?

As much as I don't want to care, this cover makes me agree with everyone that it destroys most (keyword: MOST) of the credibility and legacy of Vogue magazine. Will they come back from disgrace? Yes. Everyone will forget this cover as soon as the next one comes in May, just like the next YouTube viral moment, which will probably involve singing Katy Perry songs, some idiot attempting an extreme sport and failing, or a cat. Just wait.
