There used to be a time when Grazia the choice for the grown up woman. A woman who didn?t care about cheap celebrity gossip or ins and outs of z-listers daily lives. Grazia got this. It didn?t ram it?s pages full of vacuous crap instead it used to look at the real issues going on out there in the wider world. Ya know?REAL issues like rape and war not just what Victoria Beckham had for breakfast.
That however seems to have been put on the back burner whilst they step in line with other trash rags such as closer, heat and reveal.
This week saw the online version of the magazine publish a homage to 1994 ? why not, after all the 90?s was a good time.
We can totally get down with how everyone loved Rachel from Friends haircut and how Cool Britannia was born but number 4 on their check list left us feeling cold?
Number 4 on Grazia?s list of ?10 things we have 1994 to thank for?
The Kardashians become the Kardashians.
OJ Simpson was charged with the murder of Nicole Brown and her lover and therefore the Kardashian family were propelled in to stardom.
And to quote?
Despite ?watertight? evidence, he got off thanks to his lawyer, Robert George Kardashian, who became a celebrity overnight and, well?
NOW: Hello, The Kardashians!
We have no words other than to say thank goodness that Nicole Brown was murdered because unless that had happened we wouldn?t know who Kim Kardashian and co were?how awful THAT would have been for society.
A family which was made famous because the head of the household at the time managed to get OJ Simpson off a murder case is now cause for celebration.
Doesn?t that just make you fill with joy at the way that the media values celebrity?
As if we need anymore media outlets throwing themselves down in the mercy of celebrity worship. But to class the OJ Simpson murder trial as a blessing because it brought us the Kardashians? Crass.?
