What in the world did Kim Kardashian do that was so "game-changing'? Nothing that I can think of. She just sits around, putting on eye makeup and tight pants and skirts, and continues to be vain. Whoop tee doo!

The only way that Kim Kardashian can be considered a game changer is if she marries a football or baseball player next time.

There is now about 3 game changer stories on huff-po. One has a bunch of really mad commentors that don't know there is more than one story with changed pictures.

Well I see that my comment this morning was taken out .. all I said was that it changed my opinion on Arianna and that they should give the K family their own section .. so to spare the rest of us of having them crammed down our throats daily .. heah , HP , if you can't stand the heat , stay out of the kitchen ... you guys are losing it .

Exactly. There is no journalist integrity on this blog.

WE ARE THE 1 PERCENT #GAMECHANGERS Seems like the game never really changes, huh?

Indeed.

The cover up is always worse than the crime. Game changers? I think not.

Credit card scam.

They were selling high interest rate credit cards to teens who watched their show.
Game changer.

KK, really? Knowing that sex sells does not make one a visionary, game changer, leader or forwarding thinking person. Including KK in this group of honorees diminishes the real contribution made by every other person who was recognized.

i saw your response, even though hp deleted it and those are my thoughts exactly.

Tells us once and for all how much credibility and seriousness we should take this site and its founder.

How could you leave out Ken and Barbie?

having kim kardashian as a "game changer" is the exact reason why huffpost is no longer real and most people that want real news, have stopped reading this publication.

[Mr Hoodoo]

This is the final item that wipes out, for me, being able to take this site and/or its founder seriously and with any credibility.

Well, that and the fact they worked overtime yesterday deleting hundreds of posts from people who simply, calmly and without vulgarity disagreed. For no other reason that we dared to disagree with their sainted one's choice.

thought i'd check back and see how things are going. looks a little empty.

The comments were right on! HP is embarrassed as it should be, but it SHOULDN'T BE DELETING OR REGUSING TO POST OR READER COMMENTS!

[Mr Hoodoo]

We were instructed from On High that this KK person is what we should hold up as an icon, an influential and worthy person owed our respect and adoration because the person who founded the site says so.

Accept your marching orders, be quiet and move along.

The comments were spot on, thus they were deleted. If AH is not embarrassed, she should be.

FFed. Even though it is We, The Readers And Posters who make or break this site with our patronage or lack of, had the unimitagated gall to disagree with She Who Is Perfect and actually think we could post it.

We didn't realize just how thin-skinned she and the site's crew are. It's like we're dealing with Guhv 1/2 Term.

Wonder why Oprah was not invited as well. She has been a "game changer" much more than errrrr Kim Kardashian.

[LeftLeanWing]

Oprah has BEEN THE GAME for so longer....... she can only change it again when she stops.

[Igotgasbaby]

Or Gayle King!! Being Oprah's BFF does not make her a "game changer". What has she ever done but be the BFF?? EVER?? ANYTHING??
