LA based artist Plastic Jesus, fresh off creating an Academy Awards Oscar
addicted to heroin and
one snorting coke, has created his critique on the ubiquitous of celebrity culture and specifically that of the LA based Kardashian klan/collective and the paparazzi that follow them endlessly.
“I chose locations which are frequented by celebrities, including Robertson Blvd. near the Ivy restaurant, and an Italian restaurant near Melrose and Robertson called Cecconi’s,” Plastic Jesus explained to The Daily Beast three hours after he’d personally installed them himself, undetected. “And I had to put one outside the Kardashians’ store on Melrose, as well.”
"The Kardashian family has become ingrained in our culture," the artist tells THR. "We've allowed mainstream media to become so profit-driven, we are sacrificing genuine news stories to satiate our vapid celebrity obsessions."
"Stop Making Stupid People Famous' often gets blogged as a criticism of the Kardashians," Plastic Jesus says. "But that piece is also meant to criticize us as consumers. Without us, there would be no market for the Kardashians. We are equally, if not more so, to blame."
I'm one of the few people (if there even are any others) who are tired of hearing people complain about the Kardashians and will defend them to the death. I constantly hear "they're famous for no reason" or "they have no talent" or "Kim's a whore blah blah blah". SO THE FUCK WHAT. I can count off a thousand of your favorite rappers/actors who are famous but have no talent. Fame doesn't equal talent, A, and B, they are talented as fuck — talented in flippin money into more money, which, unless I don't live in America, seems to be the goal of every fucking person in America. And C, quit slut shaming, the shit is unbecoming. You don't like what they do? Fine. Don't watch, don't read. When they come up in convo, either exit the conversation or add something stimulating besides the tired old arguments that don't mean shit to anyone except your hater-ass self.
