How many people do you know that would agree with the following statement? Ive had enough of the Kardashians Im sick of this family! (Theyre) a non-story! I believe most of us, including myself, would shout amen at the top of their lungs like its 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, Im still typing, so I obviously mustered up all of the self-control in my being and refrained.) Thats 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 cant do it.
As the programs co-host storms off set, he can be heard off-screen shouting, Ive had enough Kardashians. I cant take any more Kardashian stories on this show.
After a replacement anchor rushes in to fill the void left on the morning shows couch, the fed-up Brown whose microphone stays on despite walking off set can be heard continuing his rant away from the cameras: I dont care about this family. Im sick of this family. Its a non-story!
The initial member of the news team that introduced the story agreed with Browns 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.
You can watch the footage for yourself below:
Uh, looks like the same guy with a different tie. Do they have a bunch of clones at that station?
Indeed.

WE need details! Is it a boy rabbit or a girl rabbit?
I probably wouldn’t even know who they were if I didn’t frequent Free Republic. Sad.
“They would be premium whores on Caligulas barge for the weird stuff”
That’s a gem.
