Pop Culture and the Third World

Kim Kardashian and the Third World

Kim Kardashian recently went to Haiti to draw the world’s attention to the plight still suffered by the Haitians two years on from the devastating 2010 earthquake that left 1.5 million homeless.

I normally don’t like to poo poo celebs who try to help low income countries… but poo poo. The timing of this trip smacks of insincerity. The whole thing looks like little more than a publicity stunt to put her brand back in a positive light after all of the intense bad press she’s received following her sham marriage shmozzle. Add to this the recent allegations of her scamming charity auctions (by pocketing 90% of the proceeds) and I’m starting to think I can’t trust Kim Kardashian.
