Salman Rushdie mocks Kim Kardashian

It's no secret that everyone's talking about Kim K's 72 second day marriage. However, we couldn't help but be surprised when prolific author, Salman Rushdie, not only decided to jump on the bandwagon, but took it one step further and wrote a limerick about Kim and Kris's short-lived marriage.

According to Huffington Post, it all started with a challenge issued by one of Rushdie's Twitter followers.

His response?  The limerick written below:

"The marriage of poor Kim Kardashian was krushed like a kar in a krashian"
   Her kris kried, not fair!
   Why kan't I keep my share?"
   But kardashian fell klean outa fashian."


Ha, just goes to show that even Booker Prize winning authors aren't above making social commentary on the banal and shallow lives of celebs like Kim Kardashian.

What do you think of his limerick?
