He's the Kim Kardashian of YCombinator - you are not really sure why he's famous, but for some reason everyone seems to be paying attention to him.

Does he have a fat ass or a sex tape?

I guess that's better than being the Paris Hilton of YCombinator.

However, I wouldn't call any YC founders "famous".

I don't know who Kim Kardashian is, so I'll just take that as a compliment.

I have a feeling that in this case, ignorance is bliss.

Actually, on a more serious note, I'm disappointed that you don't know who she is. If you want to be an entrepreneur, then you need to be aware of things that are outside of your field. You need a diversity of information, not just pre-filtered information.

You don't need to follow her antics, but being totally unaware of her shows a serious hole in your exposure to popular culture, which would make me wonder how you can create a product for the masses, when you are not aware of what media they are consuming.

You see what I'm saying?
