Dear Kim K-
Please understand that while I’d like to be able to use your whole name, and happily provide you with more free publicity, given your recent exploits I find myself leery of doing so.
I understand this week you launched a lawsuit against a model appearing in an Old Navy ad campaign because she looked like you. Even writing it, I find it unbelievable. So I think I’ll write it again: You. Are. Suing. Somebody. For. Looking. Like. You.
First of all, though you are very attractive, and I have no doubt a great deal of your time is devoted to this endeavor, this model actually looks nothing like you.
You are claiming that people may become confused, and think you are advocating the purchase of Old Navy clothing, and not the purchase of your own, more upscale, obviously classier apparel.
Now comes the main focus of this letter Kim, for though your lawsuit is absurd, and I can think of a million better things to do with your money, that isn’t what bothers me. What bothers me to my middle class suburban core is that your lawsuit is implying that the public, your public Kim, to whom you owe your fame, is stupid.
Have you honestly convinced yourself that people cannot differentiate between a five dollar pair of flip flops and a five hundred dollar pair of stilettos?
Please do us all a favor and get over yourself before we get bored and change the channel.

I just find it amusing that Kim K assumes that I, Joe Public, have even heard of her, let alone confuse someone else for her in a commercial.
