How many people do you know that would agree with the following statement? “I’ve had enough of the Kardashians…I’m sick of this family! (They’re) a non-story!” I believe most of us, including myself, would shout “amen” at the top of their lungs like it’s a Sunday in the South if we heard someone in the media utter those words. Well, get ready to holler.
The above exclamations are actually direct quotes spoken by Orlando-area news anchor John Brown during a live broadcast of “Good Day Orlando” on Friday.
After covering the usual local news, the show began to transition into a segment about one of the Kardashian daughters recently naming her new pet rabbit “Bruce.” (Just typing that sentence made me want to launch my fist into the computer screen where my pupils are currently fixated. Rest assured, I’m still typing, so I obviously mustered up all of the self-control in my being and refrained.) That’s when Brown interrupted the correspondent reporting the “story” in mid-sentence:
“I am having a good Friday, so I refuse to talk about the Kardashians today,” said Brown. “You are on your own, Amy. I can’t do it.”
As the program’s co-host storms off set, he can be heard off-screen shouting, “I’ve had enough Kardashians. I can’t take any more Kardashian stories on this show.”
After a replacement anchor rushes in to fill the void left on the morning show’s couch, the fed-up Brown — whose microphone stays on despite walking off set — can be heard continuing his rant away from the cameras: “I don’t care about this family. I’m sick of this family. It’s a non-story!”
The initial member of the news team that introduced the story agreed with Brown’s sentiments, but continued to talk about the Kardashians anyway.
Brown later posted video of his outburst on Facebook, saying, “Sorry I lost my mind a bit, although it was partially in jest!”
“I did feel better though after I was done though.”
All-in-all, I would say Mr. Brown kept his composure and handled the situation better than most people given the task of reading celebrity gossip disguised as news for a living.

Well, of course you’re right. But we can’t control the Americans that are here by right. We can control (but currently do not) those non-Americans and keep them from coming here and further infesting us like rats.

A no talent family with the exception that one has a huge behind and she’s married to Kanye West. OTT - that’s it.
Anyway, I am proud to say that I don't know much about the Kardashians except they have some connection to Bruce Jenner. I'm aware that they are on TV and part of pop culture. But I've never watched their show and wouldn't know any of them if they walked down the street right in front of me. Bruce Jenner I would recognize, whether in drag or not, but none of the Kardashians I am proud to say.
And their step daddy? is famous for eating Wheaties.
I always ate Cheerios my self.
I was thinking the same thing.
I’ve always said the idiot morons that the news covers are the reasons the muzzies want to kill us. Then they insult the military, the people who have to defend these aholes from the aholes that are trying to kill all of us.
And how fast did that little douchebag jump into that other guys seat. Holy crap would he jump in his grave that fast?
It’s the only way to cover her big butt.
Didn't a picture of her posterior break the internet?

Chayefsky was a prophet.
Good for him, for I am one that is equally sick of them....
We need a ban on them from being mentioned in public, lol
I have heard before that maybe that butt is fake but I cannot imagine why anyone would pay to get that ugly thing put on their backside.
Just have to wonder if maybe this reporter refusing to take it anymore is part of the Trump effect.
“Good Day Orlando”? Who does this guy think is watching? That’s what their audience wants. That crap gets ratings or they wouldn’t be reporting on the K’s every day. He’s in the wrong business.
The media should have an experimental 48 hr. Blackout of stories about the Kardashians.
We would see if the country survives without them.

There are pictures of her as a teenager, pre show. I think she’s done her best to have them expunged but they’re still out there. There is no way she can have an ass like that naturally occurring since she was a teenager without the rest of the body following suit.
Their daddy is turning in his grave over them showing off all their lady parts to the world and bedding anything that breathes. The world is sick of them but since they have stock in the msm, they can put their own no talent faces (and butts and boobs) all over the media.
Poor guy. He has my sympathy.
