Over the weekend, a reporter for Kneepads was forced to write one of their legendary kneepad pieces about the alliterate A list reality star and her latest collaboration with a couture fashion house. It was filled with gushing that was next level. You would have thought the star was going to part the Red Sea. The article made no mention of the history of the company she was doing business with and their homophobia, racism, appropriation, or dozens of other horrible things they have done. So, our reporter, who wants to keep their job, but realized they needed to make sure people knew they knew how bad the company was, played a little word trick. They used a word for a house, but then added in a extra few letters at the end of it, for a fancy word for bad guy. It will pass a spell check because it is a word, but also pass the editor test, because they will be skimming quickly and not catch the last few letters and just see what their eyes want them to see. I like the rebellion!
