These are the thoughts and musings of a group of critical media studies students from DePaul University. Some of us are new to the field but we are all scholars who critically consider the world around us, and are ready to contribute to the body of knowledge on how media interacts with and helps shape our cultural world.

Kardashian Kraze
After watching the Kardashians today in class, I really started to think about the traits in a person that make them so appealing to the general public. I then started to become angry at the fact that they are so famous for really nothing at all. They are not good people doing good deeds around the world and got fame from it, they are rich spoiled girls (not women) who enjoy living the rich lifestyle of a celebrity. Although it is sad that people want to watch this families lives and that people actually paid to see Kim get married, it is even more sick that the Kardashians are willing to put themselves in fake situations and have a fake love life just to be famous. These people will never truly be happy because no one will ever truly want to be with them. Kim is the only one who truly banks on fame and money, the others just follow along and enjoy Kim's ride on fame. In ways they are celetoids because they continue to make publicity stunts such as sex tapes, having children, getting married and now even making money off of a divorce? It is unbelievable that our society supports this. She is not a celetoid or a celeactor, she is a pretty girl who made bank off of her looks and ridiculous actions. I am actually glad that people watch the show and I can admit that sometimes I do as well, but as most people sit there and watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, they mock and make fun of the family and hopefully the Kardashians will one day learn that people are not laughing with them, they are laughing at them.
