If social-media influencer and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian thought her 67.1 million followers would be happy that she got to celebrate her 40th birthday with close friends on a private island during the worst of the pandemic, she was dead wrong. > 40 and feeling so humbled and blessed. There is not a single day that I take for granted, especially during these times when we are all reminded of the things that truly matter. pic.twitter.com/p98SN0RDZD> > Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) October 27, 2020The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star tweeted a string of glitzy photos of her and her glam guests Tuesday after assuring her followers thatdespite the worst COVID-19 spike in cases yet in the pandemicshe was being careful. After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time, she wrote, following up with what amounted to a privilege disclaimer. We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more, she tweeted with photos of her birthday cake. I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is.> Are you that insensitive you dont realise this is not what the majority of people during the worst covid spike yet want to hear? People are going to food banks not private islands.> > Peter Frampton (@peterframpton) October 27, 2020The internet was not happy. Even veteran rocker Peter Frampton couldnt bite his tongue, tweeting, Are you that insensitive you dont realise this is not what the majority of people during the worst covid spike yet want to hear? People are going to food banks not private islands.Others were less subtle, including Kat Kinsman, a senior editor at Food & Wine and the host of the podcast Communal Table, who summed up what many others thought. You know what would have felt normal for me, Kim? Not having to say goodbye to my mother over FaceTime as she was dying of COVID, Kinsman tweeted. Not hearing her ashes be interred over the goddamned phone so I wouldnt put my dad and sister at risk. Rubbing in this our faces is cruel & clueless.Another poster tweeted a sarcastic greeting. Good for you. I lost four months of pay, still tied up with unemployment and have seen a significant drop in future earnings, a person tweeting under the handle @MariaKChica wrote, Im helping my daughters with childcare and virtual school for my granddaughter. Still havent gotten my 2019 tax return. Glad you had fun.Writer Jenna Quigley also responded with a not-so-subtle dig. Cool, people have had to say goodbye to loved ones over the phone while they died alone in a hospital, she wrote. But neat trip to post all over social media while the world suffers. So humble and so down to earth, truly.Many others, including Ronan Farrow, who pasted Kardashians words over Hieronymus Boschs depiction of Hell in The Garden of Earthly Delights, made their own memes meant to depict what those in the real world were really going through. > After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. pic.twitter.com/iIM232lhnI> > Ronan Farrow (@RonanFarrow) October 28, 2020Author Dana Schwartz went Spielbergian with a vintage Jurassic Park movie photo for her meme. > After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. pic.twitter.com/WL3GGLTpMv> > Dana Schwartz (@DanaSchwartzzz) October 27, 2020Even New Yorks Museum of Modern Art got in on the act, tweeting her words over Henri Matisses Dance. > After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. pic.twitter.com/FRLaCSe11J> > MoMA The Museum of Modern Art (@MuseumModernArt) October 27, 2020Many people chose to copy Kardashians tone-deaf announcement over pop culture images like the cast of Gilligans Island, Lost, Game of Thrones, and various zombie-themed movies. One instead chose to use Jeffrey Epstein and his own so-called pedophile island as a backdrop.> After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. pic.twitter.com/qbTAq0D8En> > Phil Bird (@PhilBird19) October 28, 2020Others were more circumspect, posting photos of body bags, hospital beds, and the mass graves quickly dug for the thousands who have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic began. > We danced, rode bikes, swam near whales, kayaked, watched a movie on the beach and so much more.
