Kardashian Boycott May Bring Kardashian Empire Down

In light of recent events and, in particular, of Kim Kardashian's decision to divorce Kris Humphries, fans are making a move to have her and her family off TV screens. Several petitions are making the rounds, but Boycott Kim Kardashian is definitely the loudest action of the kind.
As we also informed you a few days ago, one petition addressed to E! is asking the network to stop airing any of the Kardashian reality shows, saying “enough is enough,” US audiences have had more than enough of them.
The petition (which you too can sign if you want, here) now has over 140,000 signatures. It also has a sister website, Boycott Kim Kardashian, which offers more explanations as to why having her and the entire “klan” off TV would be ideal.
“Kim Kardashian has made a mockery of American culture, doing whatever it takes to extend her 15 minutes of fame so that she can selfishly profit from her celebrity status, by aligning herself with brands and products to promote,” a notice on website reads.
Until now, Kim has been pulling PR stunt after PR stunt (including staging a wedding) to make sure she still got media exposure, which, in turn, made her richer by the day.
“Setting a horrible example for her young viewers and insulting Americans of all backgrounds and ages, Kim Kardashian cares little about the example she sets as long as her lust for attention and profits is met,” the campaigners explain.
Because parents can't shut out Kim from their kids' lives, the parents must take action by making sure Kim goes away for good.
“We are fed up with companies that believe us to be ignorant and perhaps stupid enough to shop at their stores, buying their products promoted by talentless, tasteless and shameless parasite like Kim Kardashian. Until we speak up, these companies will continue to follow a marketing strategy designed for the sole purpose of fueling their profits, and rewarding buffoons like Kim Kardashian,” the notice further reads.
The website also includes an apparently complete list of brands and companies that have hired Kim as a spokesperson, together with her own companies. All of them must be boycotted for her to go away.
The campaign also aims to show just how ridiculous and useless Kardashian is as a “celebrity.” Among other things, we learn that the money spent on champagne alone at her “fake” wedding could have saved the lives of 14,285 children who died of hunger.
More on this and the petition here. Below is a video of how you too can cure Kardashianitis.
I agree wholeheartedly that E! should get rid of this show. First of all, it's not just Kim but the whole Kardashian family that should be off the air! There are families in this country that don't have enough to eat, and we are supposed to watch this ridiculous show to see them parading around in their diamonds and going on expensive vacations. The American public has been taken for a ride and we are sick of it. There are hundreds of things that could be on TV, but E! has decided that the public will swallow anything (just so E! and the Kardashians can make milliions). Get that family off TV.

It doesn't matter that they are rich, and live differently from others that is why a majority of people watch the show, the issue here is that she is shallow cheap, and moeny hungry, for fame and fortune, and as soon as she sees a man she has that * grin on her face, her mother will put her children threw fire to get more fame and fortune, that is a turn off, it goes against everything we are taught, and they represent it. id E canno't come up with something that shows the real american family then they should not show this try hard and will do anything family. and E is to blame for alot . I like to watch E chanel my family is mroe interesting that they are and most of the reality shows and they don't need to be staged, and still boring.show us real life families going through real life problems... not bs. thanks

Wow this is so fake are you with the network?
Comment #3 by: Blueskyinc on 18 Nov 2011, 15:59 UTC
Regardless of the number of signatures – E! will not likely actually cancel the show(s) BUT the petition/boycott effort does lend a voice to the media that normally the Kardashian PR camp would be able to “bury”… The public realizing the faux wedding and subsequent divorce were all a manipulation for profit was bad enough but the Kardashian’s official stance of refusing to admit it is like someone getting caught cheating on a relationship and refusing to come clean and just admit it…. Then going into PR damage control…. Which is even more transparent than the wedding itself. There is a lack of genuine character in the Kardashian family and they are now viewed as undesirable….
boycott with everything you got people otherwise we will have others to follow in their footsteps! Vera Wang gave her three dresses when there are girls saving their whole life trying to get one! sick ppl need to go!!! please take the time to boycott anyone who endorses them bring America back to what we are known for not trash calling herself the American princess! hell no

Dear E! programming people.
Please Cancel the Kardashian show. Don't you have more suitable programming like "The Girls Next Door" or "Ice Loves Coco". I will never let my kids watch the Kardashian show. They are not good role models. I would much rather that they watch "The Girls Next Door" so they can learn a thing or two. "Ice Loves Coco" also offers so much more to my kids.
If you cancel the Kardashian show and replace it with more of something like "Ice Loves Coco", I won't have to switch to PBS or something like that during that hour just so my Kids don't have to watch something unsuitable

Yes yes yes!
Comment #6.2 by: right now on 22 Nov 2011, 02:15 GMT
PLEASE BE REALISTIC, WITH THESE SHOWS does anyone really have money to even rent the cars they drive, let alone, live their kind of house, sit and hug the hell out of sister, or brother, and never eat anything, take out greens, salads, do they know how to cook? make their beds, scrub their own bathroom and clean the toilet? don't see anything like that, this is reality and who or when does the wash get done?
never watch any of those stupid reality shows, bridezillas, kardashians, the ignorant new jersy morons, the shows that exploit little girls pretending to be adults...they are all nuts and anybody stupid enough to watch them deserves a one way ticket to antarcica

"Gone in the Wind" just as they came on a breeze let them be gone on a rush strong storm. Next time the media needs to select better representation of wealthy and educated woman. Because, that they are not!
Comment #9 by: Who Cares ? on 19 Nov 2011, 03:35 UTC
Who the frig are the Kardanshians anyway. I am so sick to death of these people who are famous for what I am asking. Boot the hell off the air and radio these parasites !!!!!
Comment #10 by: Who Cares ? on 19 Nov 2011, 03:37 UTC
As a now ex-fan, I am disgusted by the fact that she made an exorbitant amount of money off of her own wedding, while I struggle to pay rent in this economy. I am embarrassed that I ever devoted one iota of my brain's energy to this garbage, and I am now a committed member of the boycott on FB and in action with regard to all of their related brands. Sick to my stomach over this perversion of the American Dream.
Comment #13.1 by: right now on 22 Nov 2011, 02:09 GMT
Actually, all this anti-Kardashian business is just giving Kardashian Inc. MORE business, don't you all see?? No matter how against them/her you may be, your protest provides free publicity, y'know. Besides, it's really the mother who is so reprehensible and revolting; Kim and the other daughters are merely the willing ploys and pawns. Surely you all would see this if you each tried with even a teensy-weensy little, itty-bitty bit of clear, critical thinking . . . .... ..
I no longer am a fan of the Kardashians. They are NO good to society. The whole family especially Kim make Americans look really bad
Comment #16.1 by: right now on 22 Nov 2011, 02:08 GMT
not only that, they are probably laughing at everyone, while their paychecks keep coming, do they honestly know what it feels like not to have anything!!!!
i love the kardashian's tv show. those people who thinks that media can affect a persons beliefs and values are stupid. if you idolizes someone and wants to be exactly like her then its your choice, ITS A CHOICE.. so these kardashians are just sharing their lives with the people and i think its a very entertaining show.
about time somebody did something about it. I only hope E listens and give back some of the respect that they took back from the audience because of the show i would not even mention the name.
everyone makes mastakes and just because she has money and is a celebrity she still has fellings and made the wrong choice who hasnt we all somewhere down the line fell for some guy that made us fell spiecal and gave us that tingle and what wouldnt we do for them and not see the truth give her a breack poeple
You have to be careful that the attention given by the boycott doesn't fall into the catagory of all publicity is good no matter how bad.The thing they do not want is for people to ignore them. Parasites need a host-don't be one.
Comment #21 by: right now on 22 Nov 2011, 01:54 UTC
take them off the air, are they reapers?, not sure, just regular people, yes, like anyone else, why would anyone , whether a put on or not for a filming, jump in the ocean with $75,000 pair of earrings on, cry about, then mom says, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE INSURANCE, now is insurance cheap? the wedding said enough as well. why can't you take them off, offer reality show to some poor people who really know what life is about, and deserves some money in their pocket, come on be realistic. give someone else a chance.
Comment #22 by: right now on 22 Nov 2011, 02:01 UTC
lets face the facts, one big invite, for this generation to be wasteful, are they reapers?, not sure yet, putting thick makeup on, to look beautiful, on stage, show off the big mansions, brag, brag, rub it under the noses of the poor, expect the poor to keep them rich, what is the world about, enough!!
I'm sick of the public media E! shoving these money mongrels in our face constantly,These people has had they're 15 min of infamous fame and now it's time to move on to something more impressing then a Kardashian!
Comment #25 by: Becky T. on 27 Nov 2011, 22:04 UTC
It is entertainment. If you don't like it, don't watch it. There are other channels to watch besides E...I love the Kardashians and don't care if the wedding was staged or not. Kris is a * .
Comment #28.1 by: Sueppy on 30 Nov 2011, 14:55 GMT
You couldn't possibly"LOVE" this TRASH. Get out more, there ie a REAL world out here. AND it is NOT REALITY TELEVISION
Comment #28.2 by: me on 29 Dec 2011, 14:47 GMT
if kris had never married her, we still wouldn't know who he was. he comes from a good family. it's wrong how he's being depicted. that's what i don't like, he come from a very good fam, with hardworking values. he just got involved with wolves. i don't care that kim is rich and i don't knock her hustle, however I do think that almost EVERYTHING she does, is a negative image for young women. I wouldn't want my daughter to prostitute herself (Ray J vid, which is what really made her famous, or dating Reggie Bush, which also added to her fame), or crap all over another person to make themselves a buck. that is wrong. if the marriage was a sham, then kim needs her * whooped, cause you don't play with folks like that. * , do a reality show on Ivanka Trump. A SUPER-RICH BUSINESS WOMAN. And she's a new mother. ANd she is educated, and not just on if Ray J's penis curves to the left or right.
I am disgusted with this family and agree they need to go away. The staged wedding really did it for me. I will never watch another show regarding this greedy, money hungry family. The mother is the worst --she would do anything to sell her products, and could care less who gets hurt, including her younger daughters, who are just pawns to make more and more money. What do any of them actually do? I am embarrassed that I ever wasted my time watching any of it.
Do you ever see the Kardashian's do anything for charity? Oh thats right I forgot - one episode they took a homeless guy home and did a makeover, Bruce took his two girls to a homeless shelter to expose them to the real heartbreaks of life's unforturnates and yes more recently (shortly after her announcing her divorce) a photo up of Kim serving something out of a pot during Thanksgiving at a shelter. Of course she was dress to the nines and in full make up - remember "photo-up". Everything they do is so calculated its disgusting. I hope the Kardashian's are aware of the negativity that they as a family are generating. Oh breaking news Kourtney has announced she is pregnant with her second child, father is Scott. I was broought up believing that the proper way is to date, get engage, marry, and have children. The Kardashian clan seems to throw all that out the window. What great role models for our children. As for Scott, he is a piece of work. He has an anger management problem and he abuses Kourtney in his own stupid way. If it was my daughter I wouldn't let him near her. I lost a sister to domestic abuse, she was only 31 when she was murdered. I wished I would have stepped in before it got to that point but I was so young and didn't recongize the signs. She lived in Texas and I in NJ, but when I look back there were signs. And I have to live with that for the rest of my life, being so consumed in my own problems and not being a good sister. But her so-called husband would start a big family fight and nobody would be talking to eachother for weeks and maybe months at a time. So the lesson is, be aware of whats going on in your family lives and don't fight over stupid stuff its not worth it. Okay back to the Kardashians - Did these girls go to college or are they showing us that going to college is so last year and all you have to do is do a sex tape (MaMa Kris must be so proud), wear hidous tight clothes, party like a druken sailor, get a dui, be totally disrespectful to your mother (example by calling her a * ) and marry for fame and wealth. Please I'm begging the network E - enough - lets get back to what are considered good family values! We really need an adjustment in all that is right.

This not a reality show for regular people, this is a reality show for the RICH, THE RICH PEOPLE, who I feel reap off the poor!!! why is everything just thrown in their laps?? now, doesn't anyone realize, how old this klan really is, don't they think on their own and make any decisions on their own or do they talk everything over with their mother before any decisions are made? grant , it is very important to be close to your GROWN children, but come on, are their minds indepentantly develpoed at their age??? they have given enough, it is time to make money on all the reruns, etc, move on, and give someone else a chance. I mean real reality for regular people.

hey these people should try living in a small house, small rooms, financially trapped, a bathroom that should be condemmed, cold winters with no heat, maybe one of the producers should seek out poor people, with bad living conditions, give them a makeover to become beautiful, begin to drop off all kind of royalties, and let the poor have a chance, these BIG K's already had a BIG house, then NEW HOUSE was written on the screen, so what does this say, the BIG K's were already given BIG BUCKS, in the beginning, soooo,please do something, help the poor. give someone else a chance. I can't say I am sorry for putting in my viewpoint , I don't want to offend any of the BIG K's, in any way, in case these are being read, but , the bubble has to burst soon.
Enough is enough. They've made plenty of money. Now Kortney is going to exploit her own son to make money, how sick!! I feel sorry for Kris, I knew he would catch on rather quickly.
Comment #31.1 by: grk on 04 Dec 2011, 02:25 GMT
dont think this is entertainment, besides this , living our own lifetsyles, is right, but when people get PAID BIG BUCKS, to show off how the wealthy live , without giving the poor person a chance, this is wrong. the average person cant begin to live the way K's live, eat out the way K's do, drive the kind of cars and limos they travel in. the average person lives a regular lifestyle, instead of in a mansion, reg people drive regular cars, not limos, and PULL together with donations to help out. now, you stop to think when payday comes, the lifestyle the average person lives, the average person buys something, this money goes to the mfg, now this money adds up, before ya know it the mfg has big bucks piling up, this money came from the lifestyle of the regular people, now this excess money from the mfg stack pile goes to the BIG K's. for what you feel is entertaining. come on now how can anyone walk away from this? be realistic where does the rich get their money to brag, brag, brag, i wrk hard for my money and have a very smart mind, I can sing and I can write, but I dont get royal treatments,

I cant stand this woman listening to her voice its a nightmare. I dont believed that she wants to get married. Kris good for you the early the better you get out from that relationship you better off. What's out the name Kim Kardashian.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
If the woman promoting this movement(get rid of the Kardashians) would put her efforts to some other effort, maybe feed the poor or some other humanitarian effort, maybe she wouldn't feel the need to put others down so that she can think she has done something. This is just a pastime for some and everyone is not all wrapped up in TV.. We just need a diversion. If your children see it on TV you could have spent time with them influencing their ideals through your lifestyle or do you have one? Leave the Kardashians alone and let them entertain. I enjoy it.

Before Kim even married,i came through my family room and her one of the girls disrespecting her mother i had a problem,with the show.I RAISED TWO DAUGHTER one is a DOCTOR,ONE A TEACHER'MY DAUGHTER WOULD NEVER CURSE ME OUT NOR DISRESPECT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
SO I ASK MY EDUCATOR, WHY? WOULD YOU SUPPORT SOMETHING SO TRASHY??????????????SHE MOVE THE Channel. What happen to MORALE? YES REALLY IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment #33.2 by: grk on 05 Dec 2011, 10:35 GMT
you know, lifestyles, a persons lifestyle, is usually generated around tv, doesnt anyone feel this way? now money goes round and round , peter pays paul, when a person is down and out, pushed to the side and smart, then there is a tv reality show, that has the riches to the rich on, and a question about how intelligent the brain is, what does that tell you? the person who IS SMART is just shoved, left pennyless left to struggle paycheck to paycheck always looking to find a way out to pay bills, take care of the children, feed and clothe them and NO HEALTH INSURANCE. WHAT DOES THIS SAY FOR AMERICA? now, for the people who enjoy the BIG K's, if this reality show continues for the entertainment, then STOP THE ROYAL TREATMENT ON THE SIDE, LEAVE IT ONLY FOR THE REALITY SHOW, forget about dumping the royalities in their lap. PUT A STOP TO the ROYAL TREATMENT, divert the royality to the poor
The Kardashian's have no talent whatsoever! For that reason they have to dramatize everything and fake everything. Come on....(who would fake loving someone and marrying them for PR?) Kim needs major therapy. Some time this sick family will realize there is more to life than money. Kris Humphries was the best and most "normal" thing that could ever of happened to Kim.
Comment #35 by: kirbdyerby14 on 05 Dec 2011, 05:23 UTC
we as a society have become so numb by what we see on tv...reality tv with nor morals and manipulation for dollars...please remove the Kardashians from our air waves before they focus in on the 2 Jenner girls and give our youth false images
get ridd of this family..they r crap...we don't want our generation to watch this show..ban them ...
Comment #36.1 by: grk on 12 Dec 2011, 02:45 GMT
can anyone comment as to WHERE IS THE RATING ON THIS SHOW ? as PG, X, G, etc, etc. listed, that is, if ratings are listed for this type of reality or make believe show. now, when a movie is out, there is a rating listed as well, to protect the minds of innocent youth. well, where does this leave everyone? is one suppose to assume, that this is what life is really all about, if a person has money in their pockets, or is this suppose to be what life should be if a person dreams and as the song goes DREAMS DO COME TRUE. where does the money come from to pay these people, if america is in such a bad financial crisis? do they get pd wkly, or do they get pd in a lump sum? what has happened? is this a soap opera, on going, without the written scripts, or is everything made up as the filming is in progress. now, lastly, do they accept auditions? all comments to the above

It is unfortunate that little girls and young women have no role models on television besides the Kardashians, Jersey Shore and several others. Kids watch tv and see these people and think their behavior is normal and exceptable. I have a daughter 19 years old. Her role models were college athletes in womens' sports. We tried to give her a chance to do something amazing in her life. We put her in sports she wanted and kept her busy doing what she loved. Alot of people can't afford it. My husband and I sacrificed to make it happen for her. If you ask young girls now who they want to be like when they grow up a lot of them will pick a movie star or tv star. There are better examples out there for them but they are not promoted on tv over the Kardashians and other shows. No one has made a reality show about good manners, ethical values, compassion, loving thy neighbor, and the list could go on. Executives need to pay attention to the boycottkim.com petition it isn't just about the Kardashians' it is about any and all programming and commercial products that reflect bad behavior and bad character. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired of being forced to look at these people. We would like you to consider some true American Heros for the covers of magazines and tv shows. Just saying!! or do they need to be in a sex tape or punched in the face at the Jersey Shore to get a show??????

you said it all. now, anyone wonders about BULLYING . watching this stuff the youth thinks it is normal. actually you are right. the lastest when a SNAKE was put in KRIS HUMP's. bed as a PRANK. come on, enough.
