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.

Their jungle fever appeals to the great unwashed trash belt of our culture
Porn appeals pornies
Tranny sub topic appeals to freaks
Mom is a jungle fever slash cougar
And toss in that they have destroyed the Louis Vuitton ...Hervé Legere.....Chanel....and Christian Louboutain fashion house cachet singlehandedly with their tawdriness and gutter morality
They’re perfect in our dead culture
They would be premium whores on Caligulas barge for the weird stuff
Tattletale
Watch when Ito reads the verdict and you’ll see Robert Kardashian turn every shade of green knowing he just got a murderer off. I understand he didn’t have anything to do with OJ after that. However, that doesn’t excuse the fact that he accepted the case.
I don’t even have a clue why they are in the news or talked about.
It isn’t America that has done this. That’s like saying money is bad because people use it to buy drugs. America for a long time protected liberty, liberty begets prosperity, prosperity frees people from having to do real work to survive. They are left to their imaginations, and the evil is from them, not America.
Megan Kelly : “I’ll do that story ! “
My point is the Kardashians are just as well-known across the globe.
It all started when Katie Colon devoted her very first CBS broadcast to the birth of Suri Cruise.
Now, say what you will about Cronkite, but could you ever imagine him doing that?
Send the KarTRASHians to Syria, but I think even ISIS has their standards..good for this news anchor, I mean seriously who the heck cares about that “Family” anymore..their only claim to fame is that the father hid OJ’s murder weapon and clothes and the daughter made a sex tape..but hey Hillary Clinton seems to be a huge fan, I can see why..trash attracts trash
The media reports on them and Justin Beeber’s bathroom habits but won’t tell the people about Benghazi, hill’s email server or IS.
“Reported for abuse.”
Yeah, but now it’s on the thread because you quoted it.
I have Armenian friends, too.
You misspelled ‘Weenies’
Actually, the only time I read about those whores is on FR.
BFL. sounds cathartic
Ah, but Zaphod had another, secret purpose. He wanted to discover who really ran the galaxy, and he thought he needed the Heart of Gold to do it.
Who are they? Is it important for me to read this post?
Keyboard is now trashed. Coffee all over it, the papers on my desk and is peeling the finish off said desk.
