Kim Kardashian's book "Selfish" is ridiculous. However, using those images at a beloved museum somehow inches ever so closely to brilliance.

It seems Sid Lee's Cecilia Azcarate and Heather Brodie got their hands on Kardashian's new book and went around snapping off pictures with it at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The results certainly won't change the course of human history, but it's more riveting than a minute of reality TV.
