... is Kim Kardashian's biography on IMDb.

Kim Kardashian is emblematic of the shallowness of American culture in the first two decades of the new millennium. While some cultural critics call her the prime avatar of the "famous for being famous" faux celebrity crowd, she along with Paris Hilton is a new breed of cat whose celebrity comes from the release of a sex tape and the canny exploitation of the resulting publicity. Like her good friend Miss Hilton (their relationship predates Kim's "celebrity", Kardashian is possessed of photogenic good looks but is short of any other discernible talents outside of the bedroom. Both expanded their celebrity by becoming reality TV "stars".

    It isn't heading anywhere, you can't get much lower than the trash that's on now.
    Even the cable company comcrap advertises their porn channel lineup after the kiddie hour is over.

    I still don't get what "famous for being famous means"?

    Anyway...

    You can't really blame Hollywood or the networks, they are only
    catering to their audience.

    And sadly today's audience is moronic to say the least, maybe people
    watch these shows because they are trying to escape their own dreary lives
    who knows.

    One thing's for sure, when the average Joe can't tell you who the Speaker of the House is but they can tell you what Kim Kardashian had for breakfast then that's a sad indictment on where we are heading...

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

    UPDATE: I forgot to add a link to the OP. When I went back to the page, the text quoted in the OP has been removed and replaced by something utterly benign and banal.

    http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2578007/bio

    The original text got a lot of publicity on Twitter earlier today, and no doubt got back to someone who has had the text replaced.

    You'll have to take my word for it that the quoted text actually appeared.

    UPDATE 2: Uproxx has taken a screen shot of the page as it appeared for posterity:

    Badass Digest has done likewise:

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.
