    Narrow it down for us a bit OP, eh?

    It's the Kartrashians, isnt it??

    They are the epitome of everything that is wrong with our society.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    Are they self-obsessed? It's pretty hard to judge a family without ever meeting them. I'd like your two cents on the Egans who live six doors down from me.

    How original, yet another obscurely titled AH thread.

    If it wasn't for that damned sex tape being released, the only thing Kim Kardashian would be known for/remembered as is the best friend of that blonde airhead Paris Hilton...

    Supposedly if you chant their name 5 times into a mirror, you become a ****.

    Ever hear of their TV show? I'm pretty sure if the 'Egans' down the road put their lives out there for everyone to see, you would form an opinion on them.

    You think that's bad?

    I can't even read After Hours without someone complaining that they can't seem to avoid reading about that family in LA!

    Yeah but their selfie game is strong, in fairness.

    I've seen it and can safely say don't bother to anyone who hasn't. She had less surgery back then, but theres nothing there worth seeing (weirdly edited)-unless she does a hulk Hogan in the future, then ye can give it as evidence she's not a racist.

    Nicole Ritchie is/was her bestie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭Duckworth_Luas


    She was Paris Hilton's BFF, whereas Nicole Richie was he sister from another mister.

    How do people not know this?

    Actually I wouldn't because, as I said, judging people on their television personas is a little dumb in my opinion. But that's just me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭brevity


    Meh, they don't bother me and I don't bother them. Although we are getting Sky soon and herself likes watching that E! Channel. Oh no. I'm ****ed.

    You'd better hope/pray to whatever you believe in that she doesn't force you to watch that tripe..

    If she does, then yes, yes you are ****ed.

    I think what results you are shown when surfing are tailored to your liking by Google based on your search history. What sites and such you frequent will also effect what you see etc.

    I can't recall ever stumbling upon something about the Kardashians, when going about my internetting. I think I only know of them due to them being mentioned about the place on boards.

    I don't think they are all over the web at all. Just your corner of it. Maybe time to move to a different corner.

    Honestly, if you don't read or watch "entertainment news" and avoid the countless threads on After Hours about them, you can live your life completely free of them. It's really not difficult.

    I dont think so....as they are plastered accross the front pages of a lot of the news websites.And i am not referring to the tabloids gutter thrash


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin

    I was thinking of shipping them into Cork and moving them to sales outlets around the country by train, but in a country this small, theres not many with the requsite frame to support such a heavy rear load. Plus cornering on the many relatively narrow paths we have would be difficult.

    You said the independent.ie. That's as tabloid gutter as you can get.

    I too go to that website but find it very easy to scroll past the rosanna Davidson and Kathryn Thomas stories to get to the Irish and World news sections which contain 'real' news. Well as real as you're going to get on an irish news website

    Their father the lawyer was too soft on them, should have had them out working learning the value of money. That Hilton dad the same, waster kids with no jobs or qualifications. The empire their grandad and gran uncle created was built on hard graft and determination not living like a layabout, I would have had them in cleaning toilets and hoovering stairs from a young age.

    How the jaysus would ye fit that arse in a toilet stall? She could carry drinks and meals on it as a waitress in a decent sized restaurant maybe.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,158 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Who?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    The Kardashians apparently.

    Although why the OP didn't state that is beyond me.

    Giving out about "a family in LA" and then presuming that everyone knows who you're talking about is a bit silly.

    This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments.

    We even have presenters on Fox News affiliates blowing gaskets at the mention of their name.



    Enough already. That ship has long since sailed, and sunk, and been explored by divers.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    We should be thankful that Parasite Hilton's coverage has dried up anyway.
