Pregnant And Alone Or Just Pregnant And Pathetic?

Image Source
BACKGROUND INFO :
As you can tell above, Kourtney Kardashian and her boyfriend/babydaddy Scott Disick are clearly on the verge of splitting up, as celebrity articles have recently been claiming. This particular vacation photo op was taken last month (who can really deny that the paparazzi aren't always happily invited to Kardashian vacations?) and four months ago, Kourtney got pregnant with her second child. Also conveniently four months ago, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce. As much as American drama-lovers would love for "typical yet lovable asshole" Scott Disick to go back to his questionable ways like the last time Kourtney got pregnant with now 2-year-old Mason Disick, are Americans really THIS stupid to fall for previous promotional and attention/ratings-seeking tactics? Not only that, but are Americans really THIS stupid to not see a connection between both the carefully-timed pregnancy of Kourtney Kardashian and her sister's money-reaping wedding and shady divorce? 
But where exactly is the line between what is right for reality television and what is wrong? We may have a fake bar fight between Snookie and some random guy who's probably being paid to be in said fight, but is it fair to trash up such tremendous respected aspects of life such as marriage and pregnancy?

KOURTNEY'S NEXT MARKETING BUNDLE OF JOY -
THE MOST-LIKELY TRUTH
:
(I found this "marketing bundle of joy" thing from another website, and found it hilarious)
I would hope that Americans aren't really this stupid to believe that Kourtney and Scott are splitting up 4 months into their well-timed pregnancy, especially when these same exact pathetic PR tactics were practiced two years ago just to bring publicity towards Kourtney's pregnancies. And now there are rumors that this second child will bring Scott back to his Good-Daddy ways and end up marrying Kourtney. I wonder if she ever even truly wanted children for the sake of raising a family, rather than just bring another marketing baby into the Kardashian world. Anywho, I would also hope that Americans aren't really this stupid to actually thoroughly enjoy the disgusting exploitation and scripted version of a WHOLE family's lives. 
But these are the Kardashians. 
Would it really surprise you that they would stoop to such a disgustingly low standard just for TV ratings?
The answer should be no, by the way.

But is it fair that these innocent children are being born into a family where their lives will be scripted and exploited, solely for money and entertainment purposes that are mainly to suit their parents' obsessive needs to be rich and famous? To find more info about Kourtney, I actually looked at her official website and in nearly every "family" photo op, she labels exactly what high brand clothing he is wearing from shirt to shoes.
It's really a shame when children become dolls instead of people with their own minds, needs, wants, and aspirations. I wonder how entitled and pompous this little Mason is going to end up being. What a shame.
Based upon the past actions of the Kardashians and what they continue to do, I've come up with the following things to note:
  • Just 30 days after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphreys, Kourtney Kardashian announces her second pregnancy. Sound convenient? I wonder if the moment of conception was part of the script, too.
  • Two years ago, rumors floated around that Scott Disick was going to leave pregnant Kourtney behind while he continued his old ways. Sound familiar? Sounds to me like the writers were too lazy to come up with the different twist to the show. And yes, I know I mentioned this already.
  • Other celebrity news on these two have popped up and seem to be starting to hint that with the second pregnancy, Kourtney and Scott will be the next of the circus act to become hitched. The "Scott being an asshole" situation will be a nice transition into him realizing that he should be there for his "girlfriend" and son, and choose to get married. Link about this new rumor. Does anyone remember how producers were accidentally caught planning this second wedding DURING Kim's wedding? Link. How interesting that they're moving so quickly with making this second wedding seem like a means of morals when it's really them just trying to entertain the public.
  • I also recently did a post on another little spin the writers of this show are trying to push to deter viewers' attentions away from the whole fake marriage/divorce thing with Kim. That post was about Khloe Kardashian possibly not being a real "Kardashian". They are really digging to find other things to focus on, aren't they?

JESSICA SAYS :
Basically here I have shown you guys a few different means that the Kardashians are currently or recently damaging American culture:
  1. Faking a marriage to make a lot of money off it for promotional stuff.
  2. Making a mockery of divorce.
  3. Strategically planning another fake marriage between Kourtney and Scott during Kim's wedding.
  4. Kourtney magically becoming pregnant only a month after Kim files for divorce.
  5. Kris Jenner decides to say that Khloe is not Robert Kardashian's daughter, thus starting to divert attention from Kim.
  6. Four months into the pregnancy, writers revert to prior promotional tactic, meaning Scott leaving Kourtney, again diverting attention from Kim.
  7. Rumors beginning to stir that because of this second pregnancy, Scott and Kourtney are thinking about getting married, something discussed 72 days before Kim's divorce day.
Honestly, I think I made myself very clear in the other portion of this blog entry about how I felt about these recent things. I also think I rambled. But the thing that bothers me most isn't that they're making a mockery of marriage (I don't entirely care for it, myself), but because the show thinks getting Kourtney pregnant will bring in more money. My main focus on what is wrong here is how on earth is this fair to the children? That's what's wrong with having a reality TV show about a family. Infants born into this sick type of reality TV show aren't adults who are able to choose to be on the show. They are being born into a crazy circus act. Granted, they will grow up in a family that has absolutely no financial problems, but they're also growing up in a family that has willing allowed to make their lives scripted for the sole purpose of entertaining the American public and making a ton of money. I also wonder how these kids will feel when they're older and they realized that their father pretended to leave their mother twice just for the sake of the show. Hm.
I think another one of the main aspects that I find pathetic about this show is how fast-paced it is. Kim's quick marriage, quick divorce, the quick second pregnancy with Kourtney, the quick Scott is a dick promotion, the quick rumor that Kourtney and Scott are getting married now. It's extremely fast-paced, as a scripted TV show generally tends to be to keep an audience's attention, but how is this fair to the children being born into this family?

TO THE READERS :
  •  Do you think it's right that Kourtney, Scott, and the writers have all agreed to make Kourtney's second pregnancy just be a part of the script that will later lead to her marring Scott? 
  • What do you think of this show making a mockery of real marriages, real divorces, real pregnancies, and real paternity issues?
  • How do you think others in various countries feel that this show and all of its fake reality being so heavily glorified in America?

Leever,
Thanks for the comment and the compliment. I wasn't sure if the post was too all over the place.

And it took me a realize to notice you were listing all the numbers...haha.

I just think it's disgusting that they think knocking up one of the "stars" on the show would be a good transition into the whole "Scott+Kourtney" marriage. Children aren't dolls.

Thanks.
