    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

    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.

    I can't recall ever stumbling upon something about the Kardashians, when going about my internetting.

    It wasn't until your post that I knew who this thread was about!

    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.

    I thought everyone knew I only read the first post and then skip straight to the end!









    Actually I just skimmed through and missed that because it was lined through. :o

    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.

    They disgust me. They're like something from the last days of the Roman Empire.

    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.

    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...

    We should be thankful that Parasite Hilton's coverage has dried up anyway.
    Then KK steps in to take her crown as queen of the media whores, the cosmic ballet goes on :(

    I like Alan Sugars approach. He said he'd only give them money based on what wage and occupation his kids had. So there was an incentive for them to work hard and get a good job.

    It would appear to me that those people are giving the drooling Public exactly what they want, whatever it is, and growing very wealthy indeed out of the arrangements. Personally, I have no trouble not taking a blind bit of notice of them. But of course anyone who takes any bit of notice of me will have noticed by now that I am not a notorious taker of notice. :D

    I encounter talk of the Kardashian's on Boards more so than anywhere else tbh & it's also been hard to steer clear of the hoopla surrounding Bruce Jenner's transformation on this site. But other than that, I've quite successfully managed to avoid knowing anything at all about them. If it's come to the point where their vacuous antics really irk you, perhaps it's worth examining your own reading & viewing habits OP.

    It is quite easy to live a life with minimal coverage of them. The only mention I see is when people complain about them.

    I think people claiming to hate them are nearly the backbone of the brand at this stage. I've met people who claim to watch their telly programming "To laugh at how stupid they are". Meanwhile the girls stockpile warehouses of cash. If you don't like 'em, shutting up about them is a great way to be the change you want to see in the world.
