What was it that they said in a recent episode of 'Absolutely Fabulous'? There's a new disease called Kardashian...they're multiplying like head lice. I'll admit it...it's not every week that I watch, but I'm sucked in like every episode of Gold Rush on a Friday night. Caught somewhere between planting my palm into my forehead in a 'wtf are they thinking?' to helplessly hoping that maybe, just maybe they can get it right--once.
Today's big newsflash is that Kim has decided to keep her wedding gifts suppossedly valued at $100,000.00 but doubling that amount in a donation to the Dream Foundation to apparent wide spread social applause.
Did you ask your guests whether or not they would like their gifts returned? That's the socially acceptable thing to do. I had to ask myself was it that you weren't taught better? Oh, please Kim, we're really not that dumb.
You get a hundred thousand in gifts, but do a little dance in the form of a tax write off in the amount of two hundred thousand? The only contribution that made sense to was your accountant and your PR firm. They learned well from Ted Turner.
It took me a few episodes to get it with the crazy couponing as well. Why take all of the milk and other perishables that a family couldn't possibly consume before it went bad? Because not only do they get the front end savings out of pocket--but they take the back end tax deduction for the full value of the donations, too.
Back to real work...
