Here’s just reason 9,482 that I think Khloe Kardashian is a loud-mouthed asshole.
Khloe, as depicted by the above video, was a guest on a recent airing of Lopez Tonight, and discussed her many issues with flying these days and the invasiveness that is the TSA.
Now, I know that there’s a lot of controversy as of late about the full-body screenings and how it icky makes some people feel – some of them have, you know, what they feel to be pretty valid gripes about being ‘exposed’ in such a public manner, and that’s alright. I can dig that some people are way more modest and private than others and feel that a full-body screening can be more than just an inconvenient invasion of privacy. Me, I could care less – I’m firmly of the belief that everyone’s got the same parts, and even if they’re missing a few, they’d still have the same parts if they were present. I really don’t care, and if a full-body scan will deter psychos from trying to blow planes out of the sky or try take the damned thing over with a fourteen-inch machete, so be it. I’m all for it. I’m a nervous flier as it is, and I prefer to spend my time agonizing over whether or not that last bit of turbulence will be the kiss of death rather than debating the added stress of wondering whether or not the thing is going to be hijacked.
Anyway. Khloe’s comment about being ‘raped in public’ is totally off base, and if you don’t think so, let’s go back to the Kristen Stewart ‘being raped’ by paparazzi thing, shall we? Because they’re one and the same. You might not have been raped, and I might not have been raped, but unfortunately? There are people out there who have been raped, and listening to lard-ass Khloe Kardashian try to grunt intelligent-sounding words from marshmallow-stuffed cheeks about how she feels ‘publicly raped’ by the TSA probably don’t feel all that good about it either.
Keep it closed while you’re ahead, Khloe. I’m sure that your big, mean, nasty TSA inspector didn’t like feeling you up any more than you liked being felt up.
She used the same phrase on Conan about seeing him in jeggings. I think she truly is ill-informed.
I completely agree, on all accounts. I don’t mind full body scans if it keeps me safe on an airplane. I’d rather some TSA agent see me in all my body-scan glory than continue flying with the risk of more inventive and creative threats constantly there. Also, the Kardashians really need to disappear, permanently. I can’t stand when people throw around terms that obviously don’t apply- ‘rape’ definitely falling into that category.
THIS SCREENING DOES NOTHING FOR SAFETY . NOTHING BAGGAGE IN THE BELLY OF THE PLANE MOST TIMES IS NOT CHECKED .
BIRDS BRING MORE PLANES DOWN AND AMERICANS MURDER MORE AMERICANS EACH MONTH THAN TERRORISTS DO IN 10 YEARS IN THE AIR.
YOU STILL SELL GUNS……DUHHHHH
These scanners are a violation of individual’s rights to privacy. Privacy laws and laws that govern forced bodily exposure do not go away once you walk into an airport.
While it might not bother you to participate in a scan (and I wouldn’t be bothered either, were they lawful), that doesn’t mean that everyone else should get over it. Like you said yourself: There are people out there who have been raped. Forcing them to be exposed to a stranger or else consent to being fondled by a stranger is not appropriate.
Not to mention that if you actually look up the statistics on how many time planes were hijacked before 9/11 and after, you’ll find that the numbers are very similar (and incredibly, INCREDIBLY small) despite all these new measures being put in place.
Yes. Yes. and Yes! Thank you, well said. Also if you look up the definition of rape, as I did, Khloe and Kristen’s usage of the word will perhaps be made clear. It was a violation of their rights.
RAPE
noun, verb, raped, rap·ing.
–noun
4. an ACT OF PLUNDER, VIOLENT SEIZURE, OR ABUSE;DESPOLIATION;VIOLATION: THE RAPE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE
5. Archaic . the act of seizing and carrying off by force.
Our government is a joke. The head of the TSA needs to be fired. We are too politically correct to even protect ourselves!
The people that hijack planes are all young men between 20 and 35, the majority Muslim. Those are the ones to put thru extra screening. Grandma and Grandpa AREN’T the problem! Children AREN’T the problem.
Let’s just use some common sense and forget the liberal dipwads and their politically correct sensibilities.
I would believe she is shy if she hadn’t posed nude for PETA.
um, the post wasn’t about rape victims feeling uncomfortable in the airport at the hands of the TSA. nor was it about whether the new procedures are effective/ineffective. it was about khloe kardashian using the word “raped” to describe her experience at the airport, which was a totally inappropriate choice of words. i bet that a victim of rape could tell you that what they experienced was nothing like going through security at the airport or being hounded by the paparazzi. i can’t stand any of the kardashians, period, but that is neither here nor there. they have a platform to do something remarkable (why?) and they do nothing. god, nothing. Especially after Beet posted her own story about getting hounded by the Kardashian’s lawyer, i especially can’t stand them. STFU Khloe.
You’re a damned retard. I don’t know why her weight has anything to do with her intelligence.
Ditto.
Wow I thought this post was about casually comparing an unpleasant experience to rape. Way to go everyone that made crazy ass comments, just when you though sanity was making a resurgence.
