Who the f*ck are the Kardashians? And do we care?

I caught N watching this TV programme on my favourite channel E! the other day... I had vaguely heard of it but didn't know who the hell "The Kardashians" were. So out of idle curiosity I watched a bit of it. Jeezus - what a load of old crap. Jointly masterminded by that American prat with the stupid name - Ryan Seacrest, it features a vile family called the Kardashians which comprises of a collection of unpleasant women whose names all begin with the letter "K". The husband (some ex-decathlete) from the 70's looks like his face has been plasticised, the wife is a retard and the main daughter has one claim to fame which is apparently appearing in a dodgy bit of video available on the Internet. The programme is 100% sh*t!

If you check them out on Wikipedia... this is what they have to say:

Critical reception
Mainstream media reception to the show has been mostly negative.
The New York Times had this to say about it: "The Kardashian show is not about an eccentric family living conventionally; it is purely about some desperate women climbing to the margins of fame, and that feels a lot creepier."[8]
Entertainment Weekly chimed in with this synopsis: "...why, oh, why would Ryan Seacrest put his self-tanned stamp of approval on a reality show about tabloid mainstay Kim Kardashian, whose sex-tape scandal and partying appear to be her only real achievement in life?"[9]
NY Daily News had to say: "Sleaze aside, the show just isn't very interesting, or entertaining. There's no drama or anything like a real family scenario that would make a viewer feel like coming back. The family breaks no stereotypes of overhyped Hollywood life. They reveal nothing (other than Kim) and the family just isn't endearing."[10]
Variety gave their review by saying: "Once you get past Kim's prominently displayed assets, there's not much of a show here, and no discernible premise. As best I can tell, the tension at least in the second episode is supposed to stem from the fact that, as presented, Kris (who E!'s press release rather ickily dubs a "momager") is fairly inept at handling her daughter's non-career. Exec producer Ryan Seacrest is tethered to E! in a big way, so it's understandable the channel would indulge his shallow whims. Fortunately, while they do, the rest of us don't have to, making it pretty easy to say "Seacrest -- and Kardashians -- out!"[11]

Rant over.
