Mad Men: 'Chevy Is Spelled Wrong!'
Thank Al Pacino for Pretty Woman
Out of the goodness of her heart, Kim Kardashian launched a credit card this week for kids as young as 13 in what she says is an effort to teach them how to spend wisely. The famously extravagant reality show star and sisters Kourtney and Khloe unveiled the Kardashian Prepaid MasterCard, touting it as a way for parents to monitor their children's spending while teaching them money management skills.Sound all warm and fuzzy? Not so fast, say parenting experts.
"If I were to select a spokesperson for responsible spending for children, they're the last people I would go to," Beth Feldman, founder of Role Mommy, tells PopEater. "They're completely out of touch with reality, they're ridiculously wealthy. They are promoting the excesses of having everything you want in life and not really working very hard to get it."

There are so many people with talent that trained like olympians to be in television, on the stage or in the entertainment business. And you're impressed with these no talent losers? I'm insulted at the way they talk to their mother. No respect. Where would these fat chicks be without parents who put them where they are at? Anyone who watches the show is putting money in their pockets. And pay attention: without make-up they look like a group of homeless refugees who wouldn't get a second look at a dog show.
WHY, WHY AOL MUST YOU ALWAYS FIND SOME UNIMPORTANT, NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW STORY ABOUT THESE CARDUCHEIAN WOMAN. MILLIONS OF SUBJECT MATTER TO FOLLOW AND WRITE ABOUT, BUT NO, EVERY STINKING DAY YOU HAVE TO REPORT ON ONE OF THESE SISTERS. ONE USES A SPRAY GUN TO APPLY HER MAKEUP, ONE LOOKS LIKE A MAN IN DRAG, AND THE LITTLE ONE MUST BE ADOPTED, OR VERY LATE TO THE TABLE GROWING UP. STOP ALREADY, JUST STOP.

Nothing like having 3 of society's morally deficient role models endorsing a credit card for children. I'm sure their motivation is strictly as opportunity to infuse themselves into another market. The Kardashian clan seems to be excellent at milking their celebrity status.

I caught about 5 minutes of Kim's interview with Jay Leno last night and she said you had to be 18 to have the card. If it's a prepaid card, why would you have to be 18? I wonder if she changed the age requirement for controversy's sake?

What is the big deal? They're selling prepaid debit cards, NOT credit cards. With a prepaid debit all you do is put however much money you want on the card and once the money is gone you just reload it. There is no interest or overdraft fees, so what is the harm in letting a kid have one?

i agree with u people these girls have no respect for thier mother or themselves ,they think thats what america wants to see but i think they are mistaken especially the one they call khleo she does not have not even a ounce of respect for herself how the hell shes going to have it for anybody else .she thinks she is better off than scott but she is the one who got arrested for drunk driving how sad she acts like moron on the show id like to tell her clean her mouth up that offensive language is appalling

Okay, call me out of touch, but this is such a bad idea.
When I was young, I couldn't get a credit card unless I demonstrated responsible money habits, which means paying my phone bill, electric bill, rent and any time payments without defaulting or delinquencies.
We called it living within our means...basically 'cash and carry'; if you have the cash, you can carry it out of the store.
Now, many years later, I have jettisoned the credit cards and have returned to this way of life. No stress, no timed payments, no delinquencies screwing up my life.
My advice to everyone: a debit card does everything you need in life. I've bought stuff on line, rented hotel rooms, cars, everything. And without going into debt. I had the cash, I could afford the expense.
Learning to go without is one of the best life lesson anyone will ever learn.
