19. Jenner's value in life has been based on his ability to provide a spectacle.

Getting your picture on the Wheaties box is a good way to start out becoming noticed. That you can become wealthy in this condition is totally amazing. Flash forward a few years and your stepchildren with some questionable values is able to generate enough public curiosity to turn their lifestyle into a cash draw is even more amazing. So now the Wheaties box guy has found a new cash cow that just allows him to be himself. I do find it refreshing to know that this spectacle is being funded for a person who has the fundamental flaw of all Republicans and fanatics. Bruce Jenner cares exclusively about himself while being a conservative there is no other way to be. The second he suggests that some be given his solution that cannot afford it he loses all RW support.
