with no discernible talent except winning a genetic lottery on two accounts are the type of celebs the booboisie feel comfortable with, I guess. It makes fame and fortune seem accessible to other people with no talent.

"We're being silent right now." Because the world cannot continue to turn on its axis without minute-to-minute updates from the Sisters Kardashian. I suppose you'd rather the earth just tear itself apart from the gravitational stresses that would doubtlessly ensue? Hang your head in shame at criticizing the Sisters' Kardashian selfless act of world preservation!

Hang your head, I say.

their shows, where they were driving around in a luxury car looking for some sort of high end clothing store. They saw a homeless person and thought it would be so hilarious to ask them if they knew where it was. When the person (naturally) didn't know, they laughed uproariously and sped off.

Mostly how they treated the homeless person, but just the way they live their lives is disgusting. I don't even follow them, but you can't help but know all about them since they are on every magazine cover in every checkout line in every store.

What is even more pathetic is that so many people are interested enough in them to fuel such a media frenzy surrounding their sad, useless little lives.

On Mon Aug 25, 2014, 04:50 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

The only black men they acknowledge are
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5442315

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Rude, otherwise inappropriate. Seriously? This is disgusting. I don't like the Kardashians either, but this is taking it too far. Please hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Aug 25, 2014, 05:00 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Why don't we just ignore them and not read or watch what they're doing? Not worth stooping so low as to post vulgar remarks.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Crude and vulgar, but I agree with the poster. The Kardashians are horrible people.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Several posters indicated they were outraged by the Kardashians' conduct to the point where if they voiced how they felt their posts would be hidden. This post does not attack any DUer and it seems to be in context with what is being discussed. Is it over the top? Its pretty close to the line but I am going to call it a tie between over the top and not over the top and vote not to hide.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I remember when MTV actually played decent videos. I don't know why they even have a music related award ceremony anymore, since they are basically a trashy reality show channel.

That's how the Kardashians roll. They have no talent...they can't sing or act. They rely on publicity to stay popular.

They would actually say "It's okay, we're married to black men". I'm pretty sure at least one of them has said that before for some insensitive bullshit they pulled.

But yeah, it bears reminding people that this family's "fame" sprung out of their biological father helping a murderer walk free. (He's the guy with dark hair and glasses standing directly in front of Simpson. You can tell that he's shocked by the verdict. But hey, he was happy to cash his check!)

when the headline is about what Bryan Fischer, Glenn Beck, Pat Robertson, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, or any of the other oxygen wasters have to say about anything, skip it.

That would be asking a lot from this site, however.

You will be hard pressed to find a group as callow and uncultured as the Troll Sisters. They are famous for being Reality TVEE parasites. And not just any parasite (like the faceless hordes on Big Brother) but FAMOUS parasites!

IF FAME could get a deer tick on it's butt...it would look just like Kim and her sisters.
