To think snobbery around the Kardashians is a bit pathetic?

But they have addressed the problems with surrogacy (Khloe, which was a surprise), and beauty standards (Kendall).
How? Did she give the baby back.

There are definitely people who don't know much about them. My brother and his Mrs would have no idea about them. They may know them as a rich celeb family but they wouldn't be able to name any of them, except maybe Kim at a push but even that i think they wouldn't be 100%. They don't say that as being snobby they just don't move in circles with people who are interested in that sort of TV. They also couldn't name a current soap opera characters.

I personally don't know a lot about them either, other than Kim started making her money out of that staged sex release video she was supposed to know nothing about.

And I may be wrong as, as i say i don't know about them but i am under the impression they all do social media things to tell young girls how to look and profit from it. I feel they may be part of the trend of getting procedures done themselves but then tell girls how to look "beautiful" using their products.

She most certainly didn't. She passed something called the 'baby bar' after FOUR attempts (I only know this because one of my friends who is a lawyer was scoffing about her) I get so tired of people saying that they are these smart, savvy women. They are grifters who think it's ok to rent other womens' uteri, rip off real creators, and tell constant lies. I hope and believe that when the mother dies they will fade into obscurity.

They play themselves as thick fucks, so they're treated as such. They don't command respect. Good for them that they're loaded etc, but money doesn't equal respect.

I love sport, I just can't be doing with listening to it. I am clearly lacking in imagination!

Can I just point out that ONE of them is a lawyer, that doesn’t necessarily mean the rest aren’t thick as pigshit.
Disclaimer: I’m not say they are or aren’t, I don’t know.

Oh I could definitely butt into sport conversations with "I've never heard of xyz"

Can I just point out that she didn’t pass the bar nor is she a lawyer,also even if she has that would make ONE of them a lawyer…. that doesn’t necessarily mean the rest aren’t thick as pigshit.
Disclaimer: I’m not say they are or aren’t, I don’t know.

I suppose. It's all sport on the radio of a weekend, and I just can't bear sport on the radio (clearly have my own issues there!) so I come here!

I read I live for them as tongue in cheek. But, of course, a post about snobbery and reality TV 'stars' is a deliberately confrontational attempt to fill a quiet Sunday afternoon

Big tits, big arses, TV programmes and seemingly little else. But give the people what they want etc.

I see their name bandied about but still don't know what they actually do for their 'fame'.

No, not really. He probably doesn't know which one is which. I find worship of them far more 'pathetic' if I'm honest. What do any of them even do?

I think he is just having an opinion about them. It’s not great for you, as he sounds as if he’s judging you for finding their lives fascinating, while he doesn’t think they deserve the hype.
Might be worth asking him what topics he finds more fascinating: at least then you can judge him for his football/gaming/politics/world affairs/airfix kit habit and you’ll be even!
I did the same to the anti GoT crowd at work, and the anti HP relative who thought that JK Rowling was the devil incarnate for her books being so popular! (And that was before Trans-gate)

I love that bit in big bang theory when penny is testing and expanding Sheldon's knowledge and he is trying to name the Kardashians and she is doing physics questions.

I could definitely see certain people not knowing. They're a bit of a generation.

I vaguely know a few things:

One did a never wear fur campaign then wore fur.
The dad invaded one of his daughter's privacy by trying on her underwear (so creepy) maybe Kim.
One got plastic surgery on her lips and then started selling lipstick to get her look.
One is bullied for being fat when she is perfectly normal.
Kim was married to Kayne.
One or several of them exploited women by using their bodies to grow a baby.
Kim flew out some women from a war torn area (the only thing on this list that's positive, but at least it's something)

OP has been far from tongue in cheek, quite confrontational actually.

I think it would be very hard to have never heard of them. I could come up with several names although not attach them to the correct faces - I can however still identify all the Osmonds! This work colleague is obviously using "I've never heard of them" to mean "I know virtually nothing about them". Is it snobbery, possibly. Is it justified snobbery, possibly. I can admire OP's tongue in cheek responses while not sharing her regard for celebrities (perhaps I should learn more about them before judging but I worry that every click and Internet search adds to their wealth and sense of self-importance).

I remember hearing about them in uni and hearing the same things posters have been saying yet had never watched the show in maybe 2009. They came up in conversation between a male friend and I, and I asked him what did they do for people to have such an issue with them (he knew more about them than me) and think he mentioned the sextape and said a few other things, but didn’t really get it either.

I still don’t get it and think moaning about unattainable beauty standards which does make me eyeroll when there are plenty of women who have such attributes naturally without surgery, simplistic and a lack of personal and parental responsibility.

They turned their 15 minutes into almost two decades with the help of the people who love, like, and hate them and continue to make money off of it. They make money off their haters every time such people can’t help but click on anything about them and moan or say they don’t care. Most do know how algorithms work and that sites count clicks and audiences yet people still moan about them anyway. If one really doesn’t care, surely they wouldn’t comment or click on whatever they are on.

They have some type of savvy to have been around as long as they have so doubt they are as thick as people rather want to believe they are.

By people do you mean this one man? Otherwise how do you know who people have and haven’t heard of.

Do you lack critical thinking skills 😂😂

Grand so.
