I have to constantly remind myself that I need to be kind to others and kinder to myself... Promise.

Watching the Kardashians is Educational!

The Kardashians

My desire to end daily boredom experience led me to watching and surprisingly enjoying those crappy reality shows on TV lately. The Kardashian series (Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami) have been my favorites so far for they showcase to the world the definition of dysfunctional family at its perfection. The family's surge to popularity began after Kim and her boyfriend's role playing in bed video quickly spread in the internet. The people clamored to see more. The Hollywood producers wanted to meet that demand and saw the big bucks opportunity in exploiting Kim and even bigger perhaps if they include the entire family. The Kardashians, being the socialite family that almost feeds and breathes on the limelight for their survival, could not just decline the offer, thus the inception of the reality show (and this is just my perspective).

There were 2 episodes that I particularly liked about the series when they tried to tackle and be sensitive about social issues.


On Viagra and similar pills that stimulate erection.
Kris, the mother Kardashian, meets her BFF for lunch. The BFF offered Kris a blanket of male enhancement pills given to her by a friend in a party. Kris, at first did not like the idea of using pills to improve sexual experience with her husband (Bruce), but eventually gave in after a good convincing job done by the friend. It's funny thinking that peer pressure still works at aged women noh? Anyways the mother Kardashian, curious about the true effects of the drug, secretly mixed a pill in the coffee of her husband one morning. The husband of course drank the coffee. The mother Kardashian started caressing her man while cleaning the pool. Eventually they end up locking themselves in the room to make out obviously. The hilariously part was when Kris got addicted to the renewed sexual encounters with Bruce, she would slip a pill in his coffee everyday. So one morning, Rob the only Kardashian son, is having a bad headache he asked his mom to make him a coffee. Being the good mother she thinks she is, she made two, one for her son and the other one mixed with the enhancement pill for her husband. Things got pretty messy when Rob drank the wrong coffee. You know what happened next right? He woke up with a boner. Poor guy because of his mom's stupidity he rushed himself to the hospital in humiliation.


On abortion. 
Kourtney while in Miami opening their second Dash store with her sister Khloe, found out that she is pregnant. Stunned about her condition and the fact that she recently ditched her boyfriend Scott, she thought of dropping the child. I was in awe while watching this episode as the message I am getting is that abortion just like murder is actually a viable option for pregnant single women who think it is the end of the world for them already. I thought it will be cool if a young lady can just walk in the hospital and ask the doctor to perform abortion, right? Anyways, I was quite disappointed when the episode ended with Kourtney getting back with her boyfriend for the sake of keeping the child.
