It's a case of this - the Kardashians made the Kardashians famous. In particular, Momma Kim.

They have money obviously, and connections. She had some hopeless but OK looking daughters. So what's a frustrated stage mother to do? Oh I know, get involved with reality TV and shameless self promotion of her talentless family.

So, there's your answer - the Kardashians made themselves famous and a sector of the American public, o0f which I am not a part, bought into it.

I thought Bruce Jenner was the brains behind the Kardashian machine.
I wonder if he still eats his Wheaties?

Wasn't there some buzz a while ago about how their show was getting a decreasing number of votes and they were going to take it off air?

Look on the cover of just about every tabloid newspaper and magazine in the checkout line of a supermarket or discount store for the answer.
