The KimKierkegaardashian has been taking the Internet by storm, and is an unexpected hybrid of two very different minds.
Using quotes from reality star Kim Kardashian and Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, this feed highlights the opposing thinking of these two figures. What's hilarious about the Twitter account is the way it paints Kim Kardashian as an extremely shallow individual. The tweets, which feature loosely connected quotes, are irresistibly hilarious and have gotten the account more than 33,000 followers. Similar feeds to this exist, including one that use Justin Bieber, but given the general attitude the Kardashian family, this account has taken off in an even bigger way.
Odd, but making a strong and funny statement about popular culture, this Twitter account is an unexpected and ingenious creation.
