This week, Kim Kardashian posted a photo of a live snake on Instagram. It wasn't just any snake, though. The snake's skin was covered with the classic Louis Vuitton monogram and captioned "Little Louis."
After much public outrage,
People magazine confirmed that the image was photoshopped and the snake's skin had not actually been altered — but that doesn't make it okay.
