Kim Kardashian Bares Her Shiny, Bounteous b**t, Breaks the Internet

Kim Kardashian broke the Internetand no, it wasnt by sitting on it.

On Tuesday evening, Paper magazine unveiled their Winter 2014 magazine. One cover, shot by famed French photographer Jean-Paul Goude, showed Kardashian recreating the photogs Champagne Incident shot, featuring Mrs. West in a body-hugging ballgown with a champagne glass resting on her extended derriere. The stream of bubbly from the popped champagne bottle creates an angelic arc over her, and lands right in the glass.

But its the alternate cover that has people a-Tweetin. Also shot by Goude, it features Kardashian with her back to the camera and her head turned around facing it. Shes lowering the same dress, revealing her shiny, ample, heavily-Photoshopped behinda play on her infamous Instagram belfie.

For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet, wrote Paper. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick.

The issue will hit stands Thursday and is priced at $10.

Between Nicki Minajs asstastic music video for Anaconda, Iggy Azaleas head-scratching dimensions, and Jennifer Lopezs aptly-named video for her song Booty, the tuchis is, of course, having a moment. Kardashian, ever the opportunist, no doubt surveyed the gluteus landscape and wanted in on the cultural conversation.

On his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday, the acerbic host had some harsh words for our b**t-crazy culture.

Our culture is shallow because we dont respect the elderly, said Maher. We venerate the young and let them rule everything. We let them run everything. How else would you explain the cultural moment that is now being enjoyed by the human buttocks? Its an a*s. Its been around for centuries.

Half of our music and all of our dancing is just about worshipping, praising, staring at and waxing poetic about the human a*s. Millennials should be called Generation a*s.

Perhaps it's just Kardashian's way of saluting the troops on Veterans Day the only way she knows how.

As for what her husband, Kanye West, thinks:
