Could a group of people actually BE that obnoxious? I finally saw an episode of this and I think it must be fake.

UGH UGH UGH More embarrassment to be an American.

Why are people like this so famous? Paris, Snookie, them.

BTW I've never seen them except that I can't escape them, on the newstands magazine covers, headline news on Yahoo.

I'd rather watch the Cardassians!

they're attention whores, that part is true.

Oh, I forgot to mention this at Thanksgiving. The YMCA had a huge paper turkey on the wall and invited members to write down what they were thankful for. Someone wrote "the Kardashians". I don't know if that person was kidding or not, but I laughed.

Also, I can't help it. Kim is hot. Back me up on this one, Gus. I'm dragging you into this.

"Hot" to me is a lot more than just the physical. If I couldn't stand to be in the same room as the person for more than five minutes, they're not hot.

Kim? See above.

Kev will have your back, though.

Now, we also saw recently another (slow motion flailing "dancing" in a drapey cape/dance outfit) woman RA deems hot.

Gus! I need you! Gus! Kevin, too, probably, but I know Gus digs her in particular.

Does he also ::snuffles snorts:: dig Kate Bush?

Probably not, but I don't doubt he'd sniff her kitty.

I have your back RA, Kim is hot! Not a brainiac, but hot!

"Also, I can't help it. Kim is hot."


The hips, RA, the hips!

Wonders will never cease. *bemused*

Anyone can be hot in a picture, but the second she opens her mouth, it's over for me.

Plus, she's way too high maintenance. I can't stand spoiled, clueless people.

::rolls eyes at messages 8,11,13-15::

Ah Britt, whaddya gonna do. At least our TC dudes know their dick is leading their brain, unlike so many other guys.

Bristol Palin?

He thinks she is hot too?


:shakes head::

Whoa now. I never said Bristol Palin was hot. That's so not a rumor I want spreadin'...LG is talking about Kate Bush.

Just to be clear, as long as we're dispelling rumors. I never actually knew who Kate Bush was before the weird rubber leotard/slow writhing dancing videos were posted. I thought we were talking about the beehived lady in the B-52's.

I had heard the name Kim Kardashian before but was not really clear on who she is or why she is famous. So I googled her name and read the Wikipedia article. I still don't understand.

I don't think the intelligent can ever read enough to understand the tides of pop culture.

I can see that this is written in English and in complete sentences. Still it just doesn't add up to anything for me:

Kimberly Noel "Kim" Kardashian (born October 21, 1980) is an American celebutante, socialite, television personality, producer, actress, and model. She also is the daughter of late attorney Robert Kardashian. She is widely known for a sex tape with her former boyfriend Ray J and her E! reality series which she shares with her family, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Since then, Kim has launched multiple fragrances, guest starred on numerous shows and competed on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. She also has had roles in movies such as, Disaster Movie, and Deep in the Valley.

It is poorly written. But even still it seems her life is comprised of jibberish.

That little word troika "launched multiple fragrances" is so divine, so perfect. I will be using it often from now on.

I also like the strange idea of sharing a reality series with your family.

I've done that "launching" thing, too. It's called farting, people.

too much money, too much time on their hands. good argument against inherited wealth.

Can we blame the Kardashians, the Hogans, and the Hasselhoffs on the Osbournes? I feel like before the Osbournes nobody would have thought to train a camera on these people for extended periods of time.

Speaking of reality TV, I never thought I would side with Sarah Palin on ANYTHING, but I just read this about Kate Gosselin's camping trip to Alaska, and Palin definitely comes out better.

I ignore such shows. I have no interest in these so called celebrities. Ignore them and they will go away.I hope so anyway. Does just being on tv make you famous when all you do is play yourself? do not think so.

Khloe Kardasian had the brilliance to tweet that her TSA patdown yesterday was the same as rape. Good grief.

Does every person receive the TSA patdown treatment?

No - if you elect to go through the pornographic x-ray machine and it doesn't set off alarms, you're good to go. If it sets off alarms, you get the extra groping.

Also, certain VIPs do not get patdowns. Or the porn x-ray. Our new Republican Speaker John Boehner sails through security unstopped, his manparts untickled, his ass unmassaged, and certainly there are others.

Boner.

That's why he avoids the gate grope?

Perhaps. That and he cries easily.

As Nancy Pelosi said, "You know what? He is known to cry. He cries sometimes when we're having a debate on bills," she told the newspaper. "If I cry, it's about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics – no I don't cry. I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that’s always a possibility, and if you're professional, then you deal with it professionally."

Boehner probably cried when he read that.

He weeps more than a galldarned willow tree.

Galldarned.

I wonder if there's a gene for crying like that. I have a friend whose father is always weeping at something.

I think it's called being a crybaby.

I guess you're right.

Of course, I guess there could be a great-big-galldarned-crybaby gene that causes this behavior. Hard to know.

Is it curable?

Then again, you could be right this time. We need DNA samples from Boehner and Pelosi to compare against each other and isolate the gene, if there is one.

Maybe Boehner has undescended testicles and that's why he can't go through security.

We won't know until we hospitalize him and do intensive regression therapy and electroshock treatment for the next four years.

I say go for it.

In other Kardashian news, did you all hear about the charity that tried to raise a million dollars for AIDS funding with their help?
They said that the Kardashians and Ryan Seacrest and a couple of other celebrities would stop tweeting until a million dollars were raised for the charity. Then a counter-movement popped up saying "donate to a different AIDS charity and keep them quiet!" and some individual donor involved with the charity eventually had to donate half a million dollars himself to fix the problem. Apparently nobody really cared if they stopped tweeting forever.

That's quite a story, Sarah.

I honestly don't understand the appeal of Twitter. I had thought it might be a fad like Chatroulette and disappear in just a few months, but actually it seems to be gaining momentum. Does anybody here use it, either to send out a steady stream of tweets or to follow people who do?

I pretend it doesn't exist. Which is what I do with Facebook too.
