Kardashians: Kard Kopiers?
December 18, 2012 § 23 Comments
Dammit, not again. Every year, these people pull this. The Kardashians copy my Christmas card.
I don’t know how they’re doing it; but they’re sneaking ideas straight out of my brain before I even have a chance to act on them.
Here’s a glimpse at their card, as reported by Go Fug Yourself:
Now. Let me just tell you what was going through my mind when *I* cooked up the idea for *our* family card.
I was like, “So, here’s the plan: Everyone wear white, because it’s virginal, and Christmas is a time for miracles. Nobody wear socks. Everyone hold a glass of champagne, even the babies. Nah, scratch that – not the babies, they always waste the champagne. In the back, we’ll have a DJ, so it looks like we’re having a party, symbolizing that every day is a celebration in the metaphorical club known as life. As a prop, we’ll put a white pussycat in a box, suggesting through subtle visual cues our message that sexuality cannot be fully explored until one is willing to open up repressed notions and cross racial barriers. Everyone with a nice big ass stands up; everyone with a medium ass sits down.”
Then LO AND BEHOLD, look who comes out with the SAME. DAMN. THING.
THIEVES, I tell you.
I dread the day when my child comes up to me and asks, “Daddy, what’s a Kardashian?” How does one answer that question?
With gestures.
Hilarious. I think I’d be forced to sit. But that’s Another story!!!
Pretty sure I’d be pushed all the way out of the frame.
The way this month is going, I’ll be standing in our card…
I’m jealous. I *never* get to stand in ours.
ZOMG but laughing so hard at the everyone with a big ass stand up!
Want to tweet this out, but not RTing etc today for Sandy Hook Moment of Silence, but tomorrow, absolutely.
B/c that line? ON A T SHIRT MAN.
I just heard something about that (moment of silence) from someone else a minute ago who’s doing the same thing. What a lovely gesture. Very sweet of you.
Frankly, I didn’t think I’d have a post at all this week. My funny bone is as broken as my heart. I thought this might be all I could muster: (penguin)
But then I saw this card and actually chuckled. A little moment of relief. From… the Kardashians. Of all people.
Very emotional holiday piece. I still have memories of being forced to hide my small ass in the back row of family photos.
With you.
I read something about the Kardashian brother the other day & he was described as a “sock designer.” Ironic.
I bet he gets tired of wearing them after testing them out at work all day.
We were going to do it in red— but it’s difficult to find a red cat. Ginger, maybe, but not red. Maybe next year we’ll start a little earlier and I will be able to find a hairdresser willing to dye my grey cat red. IDK… I’ll have to think on it. LOL.
It does seem to take a lot of planning.
Worth it, though, wouldn’t you say?
Half of them weren’t even there for the photo. They were photoshopped in. It depresses me that I have enough free time at work to have read that somewhere.
It depresses me to know that, too — because if you’re going to go to the trouble of photoshopping, why not photoshop some of them flying in the air above the others? Or photoshop an extra eyeball on someone? Or photoshop little wheels on the bottoms of the baby’s feet? Seems like they sort of stopped short. I’m disappointed, indeed.
Seriously, what is up with the cat? Is it a pet, a prop. is it even real? I want to be the DJ. He seems to be shrugging like WTF am I doing in this picture?
From the big grin and the arms aloft, it does look like he was just working on something next door and jumped in just in time to photobomb them…
Our holiday cards are always a disaster! This year’s epic fail? I took a pic of my kids at a restaurant breakfast with Santa — only to realize after ordering the pics that behind them is the bar with the colorful bottles of liquor illuminated from below. Um…Merry Christmas…
I sincerely hope the caption on your card was, “Santa and two kids walk into a bar…”
I thought he was holding a hairdryer and it was a salon theme. Now nothing makes sense.
Next year. For sure.
