Mama June took Honey Boo Boo -- the cash cow and spectacle -- down. The tale was tawdry and probably fitting for 'reality' TV and the trash it features.
But as yet another vacuous nova implodes some wonder why Kim Kardashian and her ilk are still standing?
She's not really that attractive -- in face or body -- which is why the modeling career never took off.
She's got no talent and her 'fame' -- such as it is -- rest on her large ass and her tacky life.
So why is the media so obsessed with marketing her?
Well it's really not.
It's actually E!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta, for example, are all much more interesting than any Kardashian but that show airs on Bravo so E! doesn't have any interest in intensive coverage of it.
But by promoting Kim and her family non-stop, E! is also promoting their own TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. In other words, E! promoting Kim non-stop allows E! to make more money of the increasingly tired show.
Why is Kim still around?
Because the E! network has turned itself into a non-stop Kardashian Twitter feed.
