Why is the Kardashian family famous?

They are, like a couple of people nowadays (Richard Hatch, for one), famous because they are famous.

It’s pretty disgusting.

Bruce Jenner is the older Kardashian girls’ stepdad, and Robert Kardashian is their biological dad. So their prolific and wealthy dads gave the family a start to fame…
Oh, and there’s Kim’s fantastic booty, friendship with Paris Hilton, and her homemade porn.

So pretty much… no reason at all.

And their reality show is kind of entertaining. I mean, um… (head hangs in shame)

I have not actually heard of them but it seems that the progeny of people with enough money and social status get an open door to make asses of themselves in the public eye.
I guess money does not buy self-esteem or intelligence.

Who are the Kardashians?

Didn’t one of thier dad’s defend OJ Simpson in court?

@patg7590 Yeah, their biological dad. I linked to it. :)

@Likeradar nice
or maybe it’s because of how the name just rolls off the tongue…kar da shee han

Robert Kardashian became famous as OJ Simpson’s lawyer. And then his wife divorced him for the 1970s Olympic track and field gold medalist Bruce Jenner. And then daughter Kim put out some naughty video of herself and her football player bf when she became jealous of Paris Hilton’s “success”.

And a cable channel needed programming because TV is a 24-hour a day operation now, and needs to fill air time, and some producer (if not Kim herself) pitched it to a cable station, I reckon, and voilà!

Because they once kidnaped and tortured captain john luke picard, THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!!

@poisonedantidote: I don’t mean to be a stickler, but he was French, and his name was Jean-Luc :)

@poofandmook damn you google spell checker!

Kim’s sex tape landed here semi-celeb family a lucrative reality tv career…that’s about it. The family members whore themselves to paid photo ops, too.

You! the American Television viewer is to blame.

Stop watching this garbage and they will stop making it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA GREAT QUESTION! i ask this every time i see their show is on. Admission of guilt: sometimes I watch it. It’s SO FUNNY. one time they went camping and BRUCE (who reminds me of michael jackson in his later days) suggested that the girls help him set up the tent. One of them, I forget which, or maybe it was the mom, goes, “bruce wants us to help. is he joking?” i laughed for maybe an hour.

Cause Kim has a fat ass and her dad helped a murderer go free. Its the latest in entertainment for sub-literate mongoloids.

if Kim’s ass is fat, I’m Gandhi re-incarnated.

Because people like me like reality television and other people like to talk about them in the tabloids. Exposure makes you famous.

Once, just once, can we have a reality tv show with women who don’t reinforce negative gender stereotypes? Please?

@Facade: Apparently, according to hookecho, that makes you a sub-literate mongoloid.

@poofandmook He can think what he wants :)

@holden Top Chef

@poisonedantidote: Lurve long and prosper.

Oh, I don’t think that everyone who watches is a sub-literate mongoloid, but thats definatly the target audience.

If you all are interested in listening to a bunch of idiots spout off about things they have no clue about I know of this little place you can go on Wednesday nights. . .

@Blondesjon I’ve seen those idiots, and they crack me up.

I thought they were talking about the Cardasions (sp?) from Star Trek…., but the jokes and the comments never made any sense…

I effing hate the stupid Cardassians!! And the Romulans, for that matter. >.<

If I could be any Star Trek race it would be Romulan: emotionless hyperintelligent warriors.
