Legit Baby Daddy Drama or Desperate Attempt for Ratings?

BACKGROUND INFO :
Most likely self-dubbed as the "Royal Family of America", the Kardashians have managed to engrave their existences into the minds of people everywhere all over the globe. Perhaps this is true because their faces and names are plastered upon almost every magazine or celebrity gossip internet article, but perhaps they're well-known and famous for something else. And yup you guessed it, for being famous. Regardless, just about everyone who is connected to the to the modern world at least knows of this family and their desperate attempts to remain relevant in society for the sake of being relevant. And rich. In case you don't know, they are one of the many people who are willing to sell their personal lives just to be on a scripted reality television show about themselves. This show is called "Keeping Up With the Kardashians".
(Aw, they know what alliteration is..)

THE TWO SIDES : 
Ever since Kim Kardashian's suspicious marriage and quick divorce, sales and ratings have dropped for the Kardashian family's show. Conveniently, viewers of this reality television show are being thrown a few bones to keep their minds off of the possibility that the marriage was another public desperate attempt to get more money and attention, which, by the way, they did. These drama-laced bones are the following two additions to the Kardashian life television script: the spotlighted baby daddy drama with Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian's well-timed pregnancy with her second child. I wonder if the next addition to the script will be what producers were accidentally recorded saying at Kim's wedding. Click on the link below if you're interested:

Some feel badly for Khloe because a personal issue as sensitive as paternity should be kept a situation to be dealt with behind the scenes and when the cameras don't role. Perhaps Kris Jenner, the selfish ringleader of this carnival act, was willing to sell out her daughter's private personal issue just to up the ratings of the show.

(Small side-note, though...it's not like you have to be biologically-related to your parents for them to still be your parents. Ignorant morons...cough.)

OR

Some feel as though this is just a publicity stunt that Khloe has agreed to be a part of, just for the sake of entertainment on the show and to bring the ratings back up. Everyone likes some good baby daddy drama, right?
Brings in all them singles, right, Kim?

JESSICA SAYS :
I would hope that it's not true that this "baby daddy" drama is just a ploy to up the show's ratings ever since the shadiness behind the entirety of Kim Kardashian's wedding hit the family hard. It also seems that Kourtney Kardashian and her baby daddy Scott Disick chose a rather convenient time to get pregnant with their second child. Can anyone really think anything this family does is not just for money and fame? Anyway, so if this is in fact a publicity stunt to deter the American public minds off of the wedding situation, I do not feel any sympathy for Khloe's paternity drama going public and being scribbled all over the internet and magazines. That would mean that she agreed to let such a fragile situation become for show. And if this is true, what about the actual people who are legitimately going through heartbreaking paternity cases? Is it really fair to make such a mockery of a sensitive issue, just for entertainment?
But would it seriously surprise you if this was just for entertainment?

Just for the irony:
My thoughts, exactly, Maury.

TO THE READERS :
  • So, do you think it's fair that if this is just a publicity stunt, that this family is making a mock out of the seriousness of a paternity case and the negative psychological effects that tend to pursue? 
  • Would you ever be willing to be a part of a fake baby dady drama just for the insane amount of money it may bring you?
  • If this isn't a publicity stunt, do you really think it's fair that Khloe Kardashian has to deal with this situation in the public's eye?

Either way I feel this just shows even more that nothing good comes out of having peoples' lives televised.

Gables,

I agree, especially when their personal lives are then scripted. I don't think I would be able to live a fake life that is decided by someone else just for money and fame.
