I am not one to usually applaud cruel and unusual punishment, however, in this instance- I find it to be more comical than anything. Kim K. has made millions off of her televised divorce and reality show that took the mainstream by storm. As far as her talent goes, I don't see it. As far as a good example to younger people? I don't see a good one. Furs? She wears them. Thus, flour bombed.
The media downplayed this action which only proves further that the media is invested in this, dare I say, cultural icon, as much as she is addicted to spread noteworthy-less entertainment.
