Will China’s Economy Improve After Banning Kardashians?

China announced plans to ban Keeping Up with the Kardashians after noticing a significant economic slowdown since the show’s Asia debut.

“The day after those skanks hit our airwaves, the Shanghai Stock Exchange tumbled,” pointed out Chang Xiaoling, a financial advisor based in Guangzhou.

The Beijing State Administration says Keeping Up with the Kardashians and other ‘overly entertaining shows‘ will be phased out by the beginning of next year, replaced with news and cultural programming.

“Overly entertaining?” asked a confused Kim K. “How does that relate to our show?”
