I agree. Attention whores.

True but not so weird when you consider there are a lot of men out there that share their wives and enjoy watching them have sex with other men. In the case of the Ks, it appears their narcissism overrides everything else in their lives.
shareA lot of men? Maybe in the realm of Caligula. I'll admit that I'm off of the norm or the mathematical definition of deviant but I hope my wife would smack me upside the head with a shovel if I started looking into that. I am not a prude and just last night I saw an outfit online that would make Madonna (is she still a standard bearer for sexually outrageous?) blush and suggested it to my wife but things like that are a matter for me and the wife. It's not like the designer of said outfit would ever see my wife in it. I guess I can go to bed tonight knowing that I am one of the more squared away people in the world despite my previous notions. Maybe I had better take back the cargo straps (wink wink) I bought yesterday first.
shareYes ! You've never heard of the swinging lifestyle? And there are plenty of variations to that as well. Comparing it to the time of Caligula is really a stretch.
shareOh, I have heard about it and at a fairly young age unfortunately. Not that I have ever taken part (the opportunity while not immediate would not have been hard to find as a young adult) but I think knowing about that sort of thing before being a late teen in a lot of instances warps a person's view on sexuality. There are things going on today concerning sexuality that Caligula could have never envisioned including what was called in the 19th Century a hysteria machine. Back to swinging I just can't imagine it as wide spread to say a lot of men outside Greenwich or Berkley or Hollywood. I'll just stick to fairly indecent outfits for the wife.
shareI did have the opportunity once but didn't pursue it.
There are things going on today concerning sexuality that Caligula could have never envisioned...I agree with this.
I don't doubt that every sizable community has a group of swingers. In terms of pure numbers I don't see it as wide spread. If I had to guess maybe a couple dozen based on word of mouth in a community of 10,000. Obviously, on a college campus those numbers get distorted greatly. I'll confess to looking at that part of Craigslist but to just see what kind of people do that. I have had maybe 5 opportunities over my middle-aged life. Two of them were before I was married. The last was at a place of work where the woman was fairly aggressive about it and I suspect she was behind me going to a less desirable assignment there. It did not matter as I left a few months later for a much better opportunity. Maybe that was not technically the last because I had my suspicions at a later job but the woman did not expressly say that is why she gave me her phone number.
shareI'll risk carrying this on past some people's comfort level. It should be noted that there is a difference between swinging and multiple sex partners. Even with multiple partners a couple opportunities came and went. Not trying to brag and could not anyways as I declined each and every opportunity. It just was interesting to discuss human sexuality in an open manner.
share"Keep on with kardasshians" available now on E!
shareI find her vulgar and classless along with the rest of the family.
shareI don't understand why they're famous. Their father shouldn't even have been famous. He helped defend a double murderer.
shareNot his fault or failing. It's just a part of the system of checks and balances to keep society open. Would you rather that a person not receive any trial based on the charges. There was a reason that England forced King John into the Magna Carta. Even the real Richard of York advanced the English legal system. Side note. I always wondered if actor Dick York was a relative after a forensic expert reconstructed the king's likeness from a skull found in an English parking lot. Talk about indignity.
shareHe chose to become part of the so-called dream defense team. He didn't have to do that. That was his fault and failing. Nothing to do with everyone being entitled to a defence.
shareHe certainly didn't have to do it, especially because he wasn't a practising lawyer anymore and had to renew his license.
shareTrouble is we don't know how much OJ divulged to his team and when OJ may have done it. When Robert was approached initially he had to be thinking of Simpson as this retired NFL star and NBC personality and not a murderer. Whether Robert put any time into analyzing the case from a neutral standpoint who knows.
shareDoesn't matter how much he divulged to his team. Few guilty defendants admit guilt to their lawyers, and they know that. Kardashian had known both Nicole and OJ for many years. He also knew about Simpson's physical abuse of his wife/later ex-wife.
The look of shock on his face when Simpson was given the not guilty verdict in the criminal case said it all. As well as never speaking to Simpson again. At some point, before the trial ended, it was obvious he knew OJ was a double murderer.
If the rest of us knew, then I'm sure Kardashian knew. But the point is that defending a murderer is hardly an accomplishment that deserves so much attention.
shareThe rest of us were not there when Kardashian was debriefed. If you want to believe that they all initially yucked it up knowing from the get go that OJ murdered those people then that is your right. If he did know going in then it is between him and God with God settling his accounts accordingly when Kardashian passed on.
shareI do think he knew OJ did it, but either way, that wasn't really my point.
shareI think his presence there was more about moral support as one of OJ's best friends.
shareHe always looked like he didn't want to be there. Like he owed OJ something or he had some kind of dirt on him.
shareYes, he did look uncomfortable. And how can we ever forget that stunned look on his face when the verdict was read as he was standing alongside OJ ?
Edit: I just discovered where Catbookss mentioned this earlier. Didn't mean to be redundant.
That's okay. It really was an unforgettable and interesting moment!
shareI'm not saying O.J. shouldn't have had a trial, I'm simply saying that Robert Kardashian didn't deserve any fame for defending him.
shareWhile the rest of the klan are publicity hounds I don't recall it quite that way with the father. Rather he was a media magnet in an age where the goings on in Hollywood went from the newspapers to television via shows such as Entertainment Tonight.
shareHe wasn't a publicity hound, but Stratego's point that he didn't deserve fame for helping to defend Simpson stands.
shareNo, he wasn't exactly a publicity hound, but my point was that I have no clue why this guy remained a celebrity for being in the defense team of a murderer. Sure, the case itself was interesting, but I see nothing special about Kardashian. And Cochran just made me puke. We should've forgotten about these guys as soon as the trial was over.
shareI couldn't stand Cochran, but at least prior to that case, he'd done some actually decent work and deserves fame for that.
shareI don't get how or why they became famous either. How did it go from their father helping to enable a double murderer get off scot free to their becoming so famous even I've heard of them?
Was it their show? Seems like something must have happened to put them on the (dubious) fame map in order for any network to be interested in giving them a show.
I thought it was a sex tape that Kim made?
shareIn Kim's case it was.
shareBut why would anyone have cared at that point? Merely because of her father?
shareI'm afraid so. It seems there were people who believed they could make money off of her because of the name.
shareYeah, namely Kim herself. Nothing about her suggests "lost babe in the woods."
shareWow. So did someone blackmail her with the sex tape and contact the press?
shareBlackmail? You're kidding, right? She took the opportunity of being the daughter of somebody noteworthy and cashed in on it the best way she knew how. Which was to take advantage of naive young girls who were looking for a "role model" when it came to Kim's clothing and perfume lines.
shareNot kidding; I know very little about her (yes, yes I DO live under a rock!) and was going off of Stratego's " It seems there were people who believed they could make money off of her because of the name." So blackmail was what immediately leapt to mind.
So you're saying it was *she* who "leaked" the sex tapes to the press?!

It's too weird. There a lots of people out there who'd give their left foot to be left alone by the paps and enjoy some peace. Meanwhile, here are this people dying to be papped and courting it!
share[deleted]
She probably did it herself, cat?
By the way, what did she have sex with? And what ever happened to Paris Hilton?
That's what Biff seems to be saying, that she did it herself. Cripes!
No idea what she had sex with, nor what happened to Paris Hilton, unless you're talking about the Hilton in Paris. Even still, I don't know any news on that either.
What the others said. No doubt it was all calculated by her and perhaps her family. What I meant was that other folks got dollar signs in their eyes when that tape was released and decided to market that family.
shareWhat did doctors discover after Kim K had her butt x-rayed?
[spoiler] A brain tumor! [/spoiler]
This ends my knowledge of the family.
