Do you personally know anyone who gives a crap about the Kardashians?

The meaningless daily events of this no-class, no-talent family pollute our newstands and news websites wherever we go (or web-surf), yet have you actually met anyone who actually gives two cahoots about these fake celebrities?

posted at another site in a thread titled: I have a confession to Make, that she watched the show and just felt so bad because she wanted to know what was happening in their lives.

I think that excuses them, since you never know what suggestions you'll get from the audience

a friend who is an interior designer and old enough to know better, loves the Kardashians and won't miss any of the Housewives of Whatever. It's embarrassing... we do not discuss it, ever.

After years of not knowing exactly what a Kardashian is, I watched the show. What was that Andy Warhol quote from his philosophy, something like "Buying is more American than thinking and I'm as American as they come."

This action appeals to a certain segment of the population so I'm told.

if I don't meditate on the wonder that is the sisters Khloé, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.

also likes Survivor (which I loathe). I see it at her house. It's the same thing every time.

Also liked My Fair Brady and Danny Bonaduce's reality show a couple years ago.

I think it's just entertainment though. She also likes reality shows about addicts getting an intervention. And people looking for expensive real estate.

working hard to avoid ever hearing their names mentioned, or seeing any photos of them, it appears to be impossible. They are everywhere. At least there should be warnings to help people avoid seeing them or hearing any mention of their names.

When I visit my grand daughter, she has the Kardashians on - no one is particulaly watching but it's on. I think she fantasizes being super wealthy.

...at a business meeting with a garment manufacturer in Los Angeles, right after the dramatic OJ events leading up to OJ's arrest. AC was going to be their "spokesman."

Robert Kardashian was one of OJ's lawyers.

Does that count?
