RABBI SOL SOLOMON’S RABBINICAL REFLECTION #28 (11/6/2011): Kardashian Divorce

Aired Nov. 5, 2011 on Dave’s Gone By. Youtube clip: Kardashian Divorce

Shalom Dammit, this is Rabbi Sol Solomon with a Rabbinical Reflection for the week of November 6th, 2011.

It is not just the weather that is turning cold, my friends. News broke this week that celebrity model and spokesperson Kim Kardashian will be divorcing her basketball-player husband, Kris Humphries, after being married exactly 72 days.

Now, I could comment about the evanescent nature of celebrity marriages, or make easy, late-night jokes about the carnage of the Kardashians’ cartoon carnality-turned-carnival, or I could point out the danger of letting surface attractions overwhelm deeper concerns, or I could rue the cluelessness of a society that elevates a woman of no discernible talent or accomplishment to the level of television royalty, or I could chastise the venality of media – which debases a spiritual human event into an orgy of marketing, advertising and self-absorption, or I could simply say, I told you so, because we all could have told her so.

But really, the point I most want to make about the Kim Kardashian divorce is…

Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

I don’t care…do you care? You shouldn’t care. Who cares?

Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

(to the tune of Adon Olam) Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

Everyone, get a life! Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares?

This has been a Rabbinical Reflection from Rabbi Sol Solomon, Temple Sons of Bitches.
