OK Magazine: So Meta

I was in line to check out at my corner bodega and I happened upon this cover of the current 

OK Magazine  which teases a headline story about Kanye West "leaking" the story about his wife's pregnancy. READERS NOTE: HER NAME HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER APPEAR IN THIS BLOG SO GET OVER IT. The Kanye headline might not appear to be anything unusual or significant on the surface; it has the familiar aesthetics routine buzzwords that make this garbage instantly recognizable to just about every demographic in every geographic corner of the US. But the story itself makes this issue worth talking about, because the story goes out of its way to make the point that tabloid sleaze and the mechanics of the industry that go into creating it are at best creepy, at worst unethical.
