Thousands protest and sign petition to take the Kardashians off TV

Organised groups, Change.org and Occupy Wall Street are trying to get the Kardashians off television for good! Petition organizer Cyndy Snider said in a statement:
In a grass roots effort, we have collected [thousands of] signatures for a petition asking E! Entertainment to remove the Kardashian suite of shows from their programming. We feel that these shows are mostly staged and place an emphasis on vanity, greed, promiscuity, vulgarity and over-the-top conspicuous consumption.
Yawa has gassed...lol. If you saw the petition, would you sign? Continue reading...



The petition — available at GoPetition.com — is just one of the organized efforts to get the Kardashian/Jenner clan off television screens, clothes, and perfume and nail polish bottles everywhere. Websites and Facebook pages are also calling for their ouster.

"While some may have begun watching the spectacle as mindless entertainment or as a sort of 'reality satire,' it is a sad truth that many young people are looking up to this family and are modeling their appearance and behavior after them," Snider continued. "I'll remind you here that the Kardashian family fame largely started with a 'leaked' sex tape."

There's even a petition to get Kim Kardashian's role scrapped in the upcoming Tyler Perry film "Marriage Counselor." Comments on the Talk section of his website range from mild to pure outrage over her casting.

"I really am disappointed in your decision to keep Kim K. in your movie. She is a disgrace to herself and her family. She is a role model and she has disappointed her fans. Let her go. I guarantee she will bring your ratings down. Dump her," Marcell Troupe wrote.

Another fan gave a foolproof way to get in his movie.
"ATTENTION PEOPLE!!! Stop asking for handouts or to be in his next movie!! Don't you know Just make a SEX TAPE and he will cast you in his next movie no matter what his fans think!!!!!!! Kim K did so can you! :)" Jeromy wrote.

Yowza. Kardashian is reportedly working with renowned acting coach Susan Batson to improve her skills for her role as a woman actually working on her failing marriage — something she knows nothing about.

"There is no particular religious or political platform behind our disgust; we are just finally fed up," Snider added. - Yahoo News

Americans are probably not has stupid as Africans and Britons. Fans of the Kardashians are fools or people with 'fish brains'. In the UK, model Jody Marsh did a stage managed wedding just like Kim Kard... The guy also ran away.

I guess they have a point but I wont go as far as taking their show off TV...they are my guilty pleasure lol

chi chi said...

bloody hypocrites casting stones, as if their morals are any better. i'm not saying the Ks are all-right or anything, they have their faults like everyone else, bt if d people petitioning against them are serious, they should stop watching the K shows, and d moment the show's ratings go down, E! will drop them fast fast. there's no need to carry placard and stuff against them. it's entertainment, and that family is E!'s cash cow and they have the right to put up whatever show they want. that's what it is.

I like their show but I think Kim needs to be cut out of it. She has made a mockery of the marriage institution and that is not a good thing for young girls who look up to her as a role model. 72 days for christ sake? Is that a joke??

Kim is a fame whore and should be axed from the show. Let her look for her 15 minutes of fame elsewhere!

chillysauce said...

Are you sure d Karadashians didn't start this thing themselves? Their PR is quite good. They formulate rumours. I dont trust those ppl. Besides, theres hardly anything like 'bad publicity'. Any kinda publicity is good.lmao

ABEG ITS A PUBLICITY STUNTS BY THE KARDASHIANS

Shadaybrity said...

All i can see is cute lil Mason.
On a serious note,they should free them joor, they are just biz minded and though they don't add value in any way to the lives of young youths,rather promote rubbish(drunkenness,divorce,disrespecting parents,really vulgar use of words,greed,fornication,partying,cohabitating abbl)beef and not concern for the moral welfare of American youths is the drive force of this petition.There are even more heinous morally decadent programmes on TV so why all the focus on the K sisters.

Anonymous said...

i wont sign Though i dont watch i admire the family cos they have a very strong bond which every family should emulate .they are also very hardworking and are good business people ...

Anonymous said...

hahahaha bad belle pple,if it bothers u so much and if u think its dat easy,or u think dey dont deserve wat dey have,go make ur own reality show or better still go n make a sex tape n show da world,,,,or isnt dat where it all started,
my point is,their method mite not be the conventional way of making money but they work hard and dey deserve every dollar dey make,,,so instead of hating find sumtin unconventional n make money out of it 2 if u think its easy.
PLEASE NOTE: DONT SPEND TIME JUDGING AND HATING OTHERS, IT SUCKS YOUR TIME AND ENERGY AND DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE THE OTHER PERSON.

JAHBLESS YOU ALL.

Aanyone who watches that trash and dozens of other so called reality tv series on tv needs to have their heads checked.
It is a sign of stupidity.
same with the Big Brother series.
If viewers ignore them, they will go away.

@ Anonymous, November 16, 2011 12:25 PM. You’re a fool, who told you we in the UK like the Karadashians, I and most of the people I know think it’s a senseless show for thick and superficial people. I don’t know who Africans like on TV and neither would I comment on it. I am a proper Oyinbo Girl and role with Nigerian people in the UK. If you don’t know don’t talk, Bloody Idiot, Making my blood boil.

can people just leave the Kardashians alone and tune to TBN or Rhema Channel or CNN atleast? bottom line no one is forcing you to watch, just like no one is forcing you to watch big brother!

Anonymous said...

don't they get pulled off when people STOP watching them? the only reason they are still around is cos people continue to watch them, therby boosting ratings

Abet abeg...I'm not a Kadashians fan but let truth be told, they make for good tv and are making their $$$ well. If u want the show cancelled on the premise of bad behavior, then u might as well ask for all reality shows to be cancelled eg Real Housewives, Basketball wives, Jerseylicious, Jersey Shore, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and the list keeps going on and on.
If u don't like them, it's as simple as flipping d channel. Simply as ABC!!!!

Dobbys Signature said...

Haters!!!!!!!!As if you were forced to watch. Na jealousy go kill una.....Haba!. signing won't change anything. These people have made it whether you like it or not and nothing can change that instead,the publicity would even make them more famous......mmmmcchhheeewww!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

must everything be bad belle?
a lot of youths watch this shit and model their lives on it.
It may not concern you as an individual but it should because this shit affects societal values

Anonymous said...

its about time abeg....take it off and yes,i will sign the bill!

Anonymous said...

I used to watch their show like crazy but got tired when Kim started dating Kris, bcos I knew it was fake. So, before the whole wedding sham happened i already stopped.

I basically cancelled the whole E channel. I got tired of reality shows. Hell yeah, i will sign it.

ive just signed and i was the 73,347th person. no b bad belle, u gain n learn nothing bt vanity hia, pls let dem go, anything dat doesnt add value to ones life, shld b scrapped. i used to b an avid fan, evn setting my sky box tv to record the series whn im out, i had to ask myself what i was gaining and whn i cldnt cme up with half an answer, i stopped. same with facebook, big broda, soaps et al. i dont begrudge acct holders on facebook, its fantastic for networking esp if uve gt a biz or idea 2sell etc, bt spending hours looking at pictures n reading some obviously fake comments is very fickle to me so i quit. like i said, if it doesnt add value, pls let it go, even human beings sef. i go thru my phone on d 31st of december yearly n delete pple dat ive nt hlpd grow nor hve dey hlpd me grow positively in d year abt 2go n r nt likely 2contribute in d new yr, n i enter d new year with new vigour n less baggage. dont get me wrong, a little entertainment isnt bad as u cant b serious all d tym, bt in its own way, it has to b constructive, u shld b able 2cme away wit smetng positive aftrward. i rest my case.

I Love the kardashians <# why should they get off T.V? Kim divorced her husband, the money and giftshe made off it she's giving it to charity...what else so you peolpe want. No one's perfect..move on!! there are other celebrities that have done worse!

Anonymous said...

How many people are popular because of their sex tape? even Pamela Anderson where is she now? no where, she made a sextape, someone leaked it and she turned negative to positive! shikena..she has invested in alot of things and she works hard for her money so it makes no sense , even if the take off their show, she's still gonna be popular and earn millions! SHIKENA!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

All you people saying "is it by force to watch it" are not keeping one thing in mind. When you are talking of something that affects society, you dont think of only yourself; if you have children you will want it off the TV bcos they are not forcing you to watch as you say but they are "forcing" your children who know no better to watch & are corrupting them against your best efforts to raise them right.
I was the 62,357 person to sign the petition

Anonymous said...

i honestly dnt know why people stress themselves over vanity,
as far as am concerned, the K family are making mad money over this petition ish and thats money machine even when u are asleep.
i dnt love them, infact i hate them and so doin, i boycot all their shows, am having a 2months free holiday and u know wat, i flip the channels weneva the K shows are on.
if we all boycot the shows, the ratings will fall and the show will be taken off.
BTW, am in support of the petition.

Some of you only came here to ''hate the haters'' instead of commenting on the write-up. . . . .mtscheeew! . . .talk your own joor and leave other peoples opinions to them. Anyone who shares a different view other than the usuall "mickey likey" is a hater. .please shut up if you dont have anything to say. And stop bordering yourself over other people's comments. . .yuck! Yuck! Yuck!

i concur.. i wish to sign tooo.. my 5year old baby is beginning to recognise kim n d whole kardashian crew already.....pls take it off..plsssss

naijababe said...

Everybody have been waiting for Kardashian fame to be over. This is the opportunity that allows everyone to voice how they truly feel.
I used to watch their show. The girls are pretty, their fashion and makeup, so I guess I got caught in the publicity. I think a lot of Black people liked them because they seem to like black people. Which might just be a front.
But, I'm done with them. I want them off TV. Let me go sign...

Are people serious here? I heard sumone sayin she used to watch it n realised her mistake and even logged off facebook bla bla...ur kind of person believes in living a hard edged life without shades in between.u delete ur fone contacts 31st december.those who haven't added to your life.You like to play God without givin ppl benefit of d doubt.I'm sure if U experience failure,u may delete God himself from ur life,without caring to know if he may be relevant someday.U don't rule ppl out lyk dat.U feel Kardashians is a crappy show as u realised;allow ppl 2 make their own mistakes n corrections.everyone has wat he gains frm stuffs.I used to watch d show b4 but got bored n out grew it.not lyk I hate it now but I don't go out of my way to watch.I rily don't care much bout it,even fakebook.So pls,u don't force change on people.my lil sis used 2 love teletubbies so much,2 our disgust.now she's 15 n in unilag.dat one don pass since...if u want 2 scrap it,go 2 mtv,scrap 'Ur momma',sweet 16,jersey shore,big broda,basketballers' wives,bachelor,temptation island,16 and pregnant(not sure of d name).dey all don't teach morals,do dey?infact scrap Mtv,Rihanna,Nicki n all
