Kim Kardashian is canceling her debit card

http://www.wwtdd.com/2010/11/kim-kardashian-is-canceling-her-debit-card/



Just about 3 weeks ago, Kim Kardashian was hosting a fancy party in New York to announce the Kardashian Mastercard, a pre-paid debit card that she hoped would teach todays young people about managing their money.

But then nerds who were probably ugly or flat chested and jealous of Kim starting claiming the card is loaded with hidden fees. CNN Money says…

While regular bank debit cards are typically free and don’t charge any fees, a 12-month Kardashian Kard costs $99.95 just to own, including a card purchase fee of $9.95 and 12 monthly fees of $7.95. After the first year, consumers must continue to pay the $7.95 monthly fee.
On top of these initial fees, it costs Kardashian Kard users $1 every time they add money to their card, and it costs $1.50 to speak with a live operator. If they want to pay their bills automatically using the card, they’ll be charged $2 per transaction.


And some dork from the Peoples Republic of Connecticut said…

“Among the prepaid debit cards now on the market, the Kardashian Kard is particularly troubling because of its high fees combined with its appeal to financially unsophisticated young adult Kardashian fans,” said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in a warning issued Friday. “Keeping up with the Kardashians is impossible using these cards.”


Ohhh, zing. I get it. What he doesn’t say is that these fees are standard for pre-paid cards.

4. Kim screwed Moesha's little brother and released the tape.
In 2007, a pornographic home video she made with her then-boyfriend, R&B singer Ray J, was "leaked". Kardashian sued Vivid Entertainment for ownership of the tape. Kardashian later dropped the suit and settled with Vivid Entertainment for $5 million.

5. "But then nerds who were probably ugly or flat chested and jealous of Kim starting claiming ....
