Wouldn't it be great if next year, we didn't have to constantly hear about the Jenners and the Kardashians. Imagine if the news media starting reporting about people who actually contributed something to society, had something to say, boasted an actual talent. How nice not to get constant reportage on a Kardashian famous for her enormous ass, or a Jenner famous for being an enormous ass. But maybe that's too much to ask for in our shallow society where Donald—God help us—Trump may become president; movies are not judged by how good they are, but by box office; and best selling books are trash like The Hunger Games and 50 Shades of Gray (or is it Grey? Who cares?). No, as long as we have a lazy media we can expect to see shallow news stories in 2016 about the same insignificant ciphers who we were already tired of in 2015. (Sigh.)

I'm happy to know there is someone out there who cannot stan "Big Ass" Kim and enormous ass Jenner. It may make only two of us however.
