NEW YORK - THE Kardashian sisters are seeking to cut ties with a venture that sold prepaid debit cards under their name after coming under attack for the card's high fees.
The card, which launched three weeks ago, was aimed at young adults, the same group that watches the sisters' hit cable TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. An attorney for the sisters sent a letter on Monday to parties affiliated with the card asking them to immediately stop using the names and images of the three sisters.
The notice came after Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal warned on Friday that he would investigate the program to see if it violated state laws to protect consumers. He called the card's fees 'predatory'.
The Kardashians - Kim, Khloe and Kourtney - launched the card on Nov 10, with much fanfare. The 'Kardashian Kard' includes a picture of the trio on one side, and the sisters said at the time of the launch they were 'excited... to create their very own financial product'. But almost immediately the Kardashians came under attack by consumer advocates for attaching their names to a card with fees that far surpassed other prepaid debit cards on the market.

I like capitalists with good ideas, but the Kardashians are really just predators who should be locked up.
“Predators”? You give them too much credit. I doubt these pretty twits even knew what a debit card was when they signed on. Likely whoever holds their leash in these publicity matters was bribed handsomely to convince them that lending their names and cleavage to this venture was easy money with no downside.
What’s that Simpson’s episode where Bart and Lisa are sent to “Kamp Krusty” for the summer and it turns out to be a fiendish slave labor camp? Krusty the Klown didn’t think twice when offered big money to bestow his seal of approval.
and what of the dumbasses who bought them? Some form of forced birth control to prevent the spread of their DNA.
That’s a funny graphic. But I believe that more than one Bimbo is involved.
Has nothing to do with anything in real life ..... GEEZ !!! /laughs
Comically, many vapid ppl do care, and spend way too much good $$$ on *celebrity news* and such .. and then go complain that they are out of money for life's basics such as food and such ... oh well, /rant off ;)
It was a smart moove to use this pic they would have had to made the card the size of a poster board to fit her booty in the picture!! LOL
Actually, that’s the logo for a Spanish line of snacks. Bimbo.
Full of air. Like the heads of the K tribe.
Why not call it the boob card?

They got raked over the coals today. What the hell are they anyway. Mama’s a whore and the girls are just that. This Country befuddles me at times.
it’s a bakery company that owns several brands including Arnold, Thomas’ and Entenmanns
MM,

I’m so out of touch with the celebrity scene I don’t even recognize many names OR faces -lol- OR bodies- these days!
Oh, well, I’m happy with this way and don’t feel I’m missing anything of any importance!

When did Bruce Jenner undergo that sex change??

“. who in heck cares what some dumb bimbo is doing or what she/he says?”
People who voted for Obama and HFCS “freepers” who watch too much “tv”. The commercials alone will alter your brain chemistry.
Don’t get me wrong here’s some good visual audio/video entertainment out there, but my OMG, the “commercials” are braindeath!
