May 20, 2012 Blind Chinese Dissident Already Sick of Kardashians Sisters’
Omnipresence ‘Troubling,’ Says Chen    NEW YORK (*The Borowitz

*) - In his first interview since arriving in America, blind Chinese
activist Chen Guangcheng told reporters today that he is grateful to be in
the United States but is already “sick of these Kardashians.”

“Who are they, and what do they do?” Chen asked.  “I have asked these
questions of many people, and no one will answer me.  It seems to be some
kind of state secret.”

After being monitored for years by Chinese authorities, Chen said he finds
the omnipresence of the Kardashians “troubling.”

“It almost feels as though I have traded one kind of tyranny for another,”
he said.

The dissident said that if the Chinese government knew about the outsize
role the Kardashians played in American life “they’d wonder what sort of
country they’d bought.”

Chen said that since he had just arrived in New York he would reserve
judgment about other aspects of life in the United States, but he did leave
reporters with one final observation: “This Facebook IPO seems like total
bullshit to me.”
