Through With Buzz

Well, friends, I see there is a new show on cable featuring the acting talent of Kim Kardashian. Early reviews say "All's Fair" is not something you will want to see.  The Hollywood Reporter‘s TV critic Angie Han used the term “brain dead” to describe it and also said, "Kardashian’s performance, stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, is exactly what the writing, also stiff and affectless without a single authentic note, merits. Her very presence, which succeeds at generating buzz and not much else, feels fitting for a show that seems to want not to be watched so much as mined for viral bits and pieces.”

Most people achieve a certain 
self-awareness by age 45.

So, Kim is no actress. I do understand she is still trying to be a lawyer without setting her callipygian self down in a law school classroom. She just keeps taking the law board exam, hoping that a series of lucky guesses will pay off one of these times. I don't break laws, so I have no need of a lawyer, but I have been under the care of several fine orthopedic surgeons in my days, and what I did was, I found actual medical school graduates - board-certified Medical Doctors -  to go after me with a scalpel.  And I have to assume that all of Kim Kardashian's, ahem, medical procedures were performed by real doctors.  She'd be a fool not to get someone actually qualified, right?

I bring all this up because I read the other day that Kim's expertise now extends beyond Earth, and the realms of acting and the law. She reveals now the reasons why she feels that the 1969 USA Moon Landing was a fakeroo.

Here she was, on the set of the beloved family comedy The Kardashians, explaining to Sarah Paulson, another of the people guilty of being in the cast of "All's Fair," that Apollo never landed on the moon:

"I'm sending you, so far, a million articles with both Buzz Aldrin and ... the other one," Kim told Paulson, unable to remember the name of Neil Armstrong.

She goes on to say she has seen clips of Buzz Aldrin being asked what was the scariest moment up on the moon, and "Buzz goes, "There was no scary moment, cause it didn’t happen. It could've been scary, but it wasn't, cause it didn't happen."

(When searching for an expert on any topic, always look for the one who says "He goes and she goes and they all go" instead of the many verbs that mean "say.") 

Kim, 45, says that now that Aldrin has "gotten old" he lets it slip that there was no moon landing, "So I think it didn't happen."

And, asked for some sort of scientific evidence to buttress (I had to!) her lame claim, Kim said that she knows people will call her crazy: “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what. But like, go to TikTok. See for yourself.”

This echoes, of course, the words of Nicolaus Copernicus, the astronomer who postulated a universe with the Sun, rather than Earth, at its center. He told skeptics, "Dude, like check it out on Tik Tok! I'm like totally right!"
