Kardashian Boycott, It seems Kim Kardashian’s move to divorce Kris Humphries not only sent the media buzzing but also caused some people to become fed up with the family’s public exploits.

A petition has been launched online calling for the E! Entertainment network, which airs “Keep Up With The Kardashians” and other shows based on the close clan, to be removed from the airwaves.

“In a grass roots effort, we have collected [thousands of] signatures for a petition asking E! Entertainment to remove the Kardashian suite of shows from their programming,” petition organizer Cyndy Snider said in a statement to Yahoo! “We feel that these shows are mostly staged and place an emphasis on vanity, greed, promiscuity, vulgarity and over-the-top conspicuous consumption.”

The petition, called “No More Kardashian” is available on gopetition.com and at press time has over 75,000 signatures. There’s also a Facebook page dedicated to the cause with over 44,000 fans at the time of this writing.

“‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ is just not viewing that we the public, would like to see from your network. Enough is enough,” the preamble to the petition states.

The 31-year-old “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star filed for divorce at a Los Angeles court. The couple’s date of separation is also listed as October 31. The 31-year-old cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. This was Kardashian’s second marriage. She and Humphries, 26, have no children.
