Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on Vogue

In the media, whatever viewers like gets the most coverage. At least that's part of it. The other part is that whatever the viewers hate gets the most coverage. But you don't have to put up with it. You can simply turn it off, not read it, look away, turn the other cheek, etc. You don't. Instead you go on a tirade in protest, one that no one but your friends will hear. Unfortunately, I am sometimes that friend and you are forcing me to either no longer be friends with you or put up with more news about subjects I don't care about.
But what pisses me off the most about the whole KardWest thing is that I don't read vogue and don't know anyone who does, yet everyone is all bent out of shape about who is on the cover. If it was Fred Phelps, by all means, protest, but it's two "entertainers" who I imagine wear the latest and most expensive fashions.
Kanye's first album was a decent debut. Nothing to write home about, but thanks to endorsements, he got big and then became competitive with his own ego, constantly playing a game of one-upmanship, and then made remarks against the president to solidify his name in the media. Kim was rich by proxy; next. These people are famous because you made them famous, so stop complaining when they're on the cover of a magazine that you don't even read.

 More interesting magazine than Vogue.
