Asking For It It is understood, although somewhat reluctantly, that celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus have a heavy influence on popular culture.

Challenge This Imagine this: no assigned reading in English classes. If the American Library Association came here and spoke to the English department, that would be the consequence.
