Listen to Dave Ross Commentary: Two divorces and a funeral

This is one of those days when the only people making money are the Kardashians.

In case your Twitter feed is down, Kim and Kris filed for divorce after 72 days of marriage, which seems crazy — until you realize how much they made on that marriage.

$18 MILLION in media rights.

$18 MILLION. Why WOULDN’T you marry someone you hardly know if you can walk away with 18 million?

And now with the divorce — she can do it again!

Next!

My heart goes out to Kris, who had no idea that marrying a Kardashian would make his personal affairs so… PUBLIC… but, a share of $18 million can buy a lot of counseling.

At least Kim and Kris lasted 72 days. The vows between Greece and the rest of Europe lasted exactly FIVE days. Remember five days ago?

“Europe believes this is a solid deal,” said one report.

“The Greek government seems to be jubilant,” said another.

Ah, young love. And then, today —

“The Greek prime minister single handedly threw global markets into turmoil with his abrupt unilateral decision to call a referendum on last week’s rescue deal,” said a new report.

Irreconcilable differences after only five days. You can IMAGINE what the parents think:

“France and Germany are reportedly furious,” continued the report.

There’s only one way back, Greece. Reality weddings. YOU’VE GOT THE PERFECT SETTING.

$18 million a pop.
