Who/what doesn't deserve it's fame?

I can’t imagine their success is a product of their “savvy” minds though. I think PR executives saw an opening to capitalize on middle America’s fascination with reality tv / train wrecks and it just... spread. Like a fucking well-paid, opportunistic virus. As individuals, none of them have ever needed to contribute ideas or creativity or marketing strategies... at all. Ever. Publicists and agents are usually highly intelligent, cutthroat motherfuckers. (Source: I worked closely with them for a little less than three years because that’s all I could handle.) They deserve at least 99% of the credit when it comes to the success/byproducts of most reality television personalities. This family will die out eventually. And then soon after, some washed up Real Housewife will be asked if they’d like to diversify. Cycle repeats.
