Kim Kardashian Called the Flu "an Amazing Diet" and the Internet Is Mad
By: Kelly Meyers
Every couple of days there is some new thing online that everyone is talking about because so many people were offended.
This week's subject is Kim Kardashian. She made a comment on Twitter about how the stomach flu was "an amazing diet."
So what exactly did Kim say?
The flu can be an amazing diet. So happy it came in time for the Met lol #6lbsdown

Kim got in a lot of trouble for that tweet. Here's one response:
A completely irresponsible, idiotic tweet on so many levels. You should be ashamed. #6lbsdown https://t.co/nujc7S1J2R

Thousands of people responded on Twitter to criticize Kardashian. Kim's original tweet has since been deleted.
So what do you think? Was Kim out of line or was she just making light of a bad situation (having the stomach flu)?
