It today's age, reality TV is the new standard. Almost every TV channel has at least one reality show that they air regularly. Among the "royalty of reality" is none other than the Kardashian Family. And why not? These girls are beautiful, occasionally funny, and have an edge that keeps you hooked to your screen. But one thing I've noticed, is that the three sisters try to be role models for body image issues in our country. They all claim that they accept the bodies god gave them , no matter how many curves they may have, but then we see them on commercials endorsing diet pills ...... can you say " Contradiction" ?
Almost every girl in America(and probably worldwide) IDOLIZE these women, rushing home to catch the latest episode of whatever new show they have out. When they released a clothing line, it flew off the shelves. So I do approve that sometimes they can speak out about weight issues and that every girl should be comfortable with their body, I'm sure MANY females have been inspired by them and experience a confidence boost. But when we see them flaunting rock hard abs in a bikini on a "Quick-Trim" diet pill commercial, it has the same effect. Girls see Kim doing it , so they will too. Now, I am not bashing pharmaceuticals, or any diet methods at all, what I am bashing is how contradicting these visual statements can be. I think sometimes the celebrities in the public eye really don't consider how much they can influence our community, especially our youth. So I ask them to please, pick a side.
