10 Insane Things You Won't Believe Actors Got Away With in Real Life

9. Kim Kardashian Getting Famous From a Sex Tape

This isn't as 'outrageous' to me as much as it is baffling. And it makes me indignant. Really, world? We didn't learn anything from Paris Hilton getting porked on camera? After Hilton's video that celebrated everything stupid and venereal-disease-ridden went viral on the internet, somehow we found ourselves living in a society where we paid waaaaaay too much attention to a grown-up woman who still insisted on wearing pink, speaking like a mentally slow Disney maiden and posing like a spider monkey with a broken spine. A few years and a scathing South Park episode later, Paris Hilton was washed up. After a brief respite, all of a sudden, there's another superficial starlet getting a root as the little red light blinks on the camera, and heeeeere's Kimmy!* Instead of a little goggle-eyed dog, Kim runs around with her two equally dense sisters, harpy of a mother, and is the pinnacle of everything plastic and awful in Hollywood. Why? Why?! Why do we allow these Frankenskanks to exist?! If Miley Cyrus or Amanda Bynes get a second wind to their fame because they got boffed onscreen and hence get a reality TV show deal, that's it. Enough. I'm going into a nuclear bunker for the next ten years, hiding from these moronic monstrosities with my tinned peaches and box set of Seinfeld. *I'm going to classify Kardashian as an actor on a technicality - surely she must be acting on her 'reality' TV show, nobody could be that much of a spoiled brat- could they?
