WTF: Kardashian Kouponing?

So, I’m channeling surfing because I can’t take anymore of the CNN Iowa updates (Ron Paul and Newt are depressing), and I happen to see a few minutes of the Kardashian reality fest.   It seems that Kourtney has taken-up using coupons, er I guess that should be coupons, as a hobby and is now “kouponing.”   Even trading coupons in the lobby of the upscale Gansevoort Hotel in New York City.  Right. For reals? Who wrote this script? And the Kardashians are upset with  Kris Humphries and treat him like he is crazy? Kris Humphries was actually shown on the show ripping up the koupons and making fun of Kourtney because he doesn’t think they will krap enough to use all the toilet paper Kourtney has bought.  Is it any wonder this poor guy from Minnesota wants out? I’m kinda amazed he lasted 72 days in this mess.  Looks to me like he just wanted out of this reality TV kraziness and that equals a divorce in Kardashian land.   Are they going for ratings buzz from ridding the coat tails of TLC’s Extreme Couponing  to ignite the Karshashian’s reality franchise?  I don’t think so, although if I had to pick a favorite Kardashian it would be Kourtney.  I wish the E! Channel had shown her out shopping for vintage clothing instead of this koupon travesty.  I wonder if Kourtney can find coupons for the Hermes Birkin bags or the Louboutin shoes (you can get those at a discount now on Bluefly) that the klan seems to adore? That would’ve been more believable than the toilet paper couponing adventure.

Time to surf back to CNN or BBC America for a real reality break, or maybe some old 30 Rock.
