There are important fights we must fight as citizens of this great nation of ours -- valiant and noble fights that keep our status as the land of the free and the home of the brave (cue the patriotic music). Somehow I don't think a coup against the Kardashians is in the same class, but you wouldn't know it by the fervor with which thousands are attacking the famous family.
It seems citizens across the nation are organizing and coming together to take the family down in the wake of Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries. My first question: Don't they have anything better to do? And my second: No really, who has this much time on their hands?
Cyndy Snider is one of them and has organized an online petition asking E! to remove the family from the airwaves. She already has collected more than 26,000 signatures and is passionately devoted to keeping the Kardashians down. She said in a statement:
We feel that these shows are mostly staged and place an emphasis on vanity, greed, promiscuity, vulgarity, and over-the-top conspicuous consumption.
And she can't just change the channel because ... why? Oh that's right, because most of the other channels are filled with exactly the same thing. Snider, who says it's not a fight due to religious or political convictions, but rather plain disgust, continued:
While some may have begun watching the spectacle as mindless entertainment or as a sort of 'reality satire,' it is a sad truth that many young people are looking up to this family and are modeling their appearance and behavior after them. I'll remind you here that the Kardashian family fame largely started with a 'leaked' sex tape.
And? Just look away Cyndy, look away.
That's really all the haters need to do -- stop watching and let those of us who like it rot our brains in peace. If no one watches, they'll fade into oblivion and be wearing their leftover Sears clothing for all eternity.
The truth, however, is that these people don't have the willpower on their own to just avoid the Kardashians, which says a lot about the family's pull. I bet at least half of the people who signed the petition won't miss a second of the upcoming season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, even if they deny it tooth and nail. So really, their activism against the Kardashians is one big endorsement for their irresistibility.
Do you want to see E! take the Kardashians off of the air?

Would you like a midol with that super plus tampon?
The thing is, I don't have to watch E! to be bombarded with crap about the Kardashians. As a matter of fact I don't watch E! at all. But a lot of other networks seem to be under the impression that I give a flying fuck what these women do. This is actually the first time I have ever stopped to comment on anything concerning this family. If she wanted to string some dude along just so she could pretend to be Kate Middleton for a day that's her deal, but I would like to watch the news in peace without being assaulted with yet another spin on this stupid stupid woman. Hell I can't even watch Jeopardy without these people being mentioned. Enough already.
On a side note, it would make more sense to me if the whole "Occupy movement" targeted people like the Kardashians, who have money they don't deserve, rather than target people that actually go to work for their money. It's just an idea.
@LucretiaMcEvil
The Kardashians have money they don't deserve because of a Roman circus-like atmosphere of entertaining the masses whilst the financial services industry quietly makes record profits after causing THE major financial collapse of the past 50 years.
The Occupy movement doesn't target people who work for their money. It doesn't even target people.
The Occupy movement is targeting a broken system that makes it so that bankers who knowingly create bad financial products are able to not only walk free -- despite their clear legal culpability under the regulations of the Dept of Commerce -- but even get bailed out by the American taxpayers to the tune of BILLIONS.
Hence Occupy Wall Street.
Why is this so hard to comprehend?
How does the Kardashians not deserve there money? It's not like people are walking up and handing it to them. People watch there show = Money. People buy there clothes = Money. People buy there perfume = Money. People bought her sextape = Money. Do you see where I'm getting at here? Not to mention they were wealthy from diapers. There dad was a damn good lawyer. (You can't get no better than saying the glove doesn't fit and then BAM! the guy your defending is innocent.) There stepfather is an Olympic champion. Hate them. Hate the every move they make. But they get paid for having the cameras following them. They don't get paid for nothing whatsoever.
I signed the petition and I don't feel bad about it! :) I used to watch E! all the time when they had cool and entertaining shows like E! investigates and THS (about important people, not the Kardashians), then they decided to give all those hoes their own show and they basically took over the channel and the world and it's really annoying now...pretty soon we're going to have to buy toilet paper sponsored by these bitches...not cool.
If they had a unified motive, presented their "views" in a more structured manner, and didn't come off as dirty hippies, maybe it would work.
I've done enough research on the "movement", and it's stupid. Someone in Canada wanted attention like the Egyptian protesters, and used money as a reason to complain.
Protest Obama if you don't like what's going on. He's the one OKing al of these bailouts. Oh wait, the dirty hippies in the parks are the ones who voted for him! Is that enough "CHANGE" for you?
Maybe you should run along and protest the Kardashians instead. That actually may accomplish something.
