2011 has been quite the year for Ms. Kim Kardashian. Her marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries crumbled after just 72 days; accusations of a possible fake marriage surfaced along with the divorce news. Now an anti-KK group dubbed Boycott Kim Kardashian has launched an online petition to end the celebrity's reality show, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Like many others exhausted by reality TV, the group does not want to keep up with the family's charades, at-home bikini waxes and adventures in anal bleaching any longer.

The petition, "No More Kardashian," asks E! Online to "find other shows to air." The group writes, " 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' is just not viewing that we the public, would like to see from your network. Enough is enough." The show debuted in October 2007 and, though not addressed in the petition, has spawned several other spin-offs.

Over 131,000 signatures have been collected so far. The petition closes on November 30.

Let's take a look at a handful of supporter comments.

"The day Bruce Jenner AKA, Bruce Kardashian, was talking with his fifteen your old daughter about popping her cherry was all I could take of this Springer, family. He said it E!, aired it. Do they not know this is not normal for any father to talk that way to his own daughter or any ones daughter. SICK!"

"Please make the stupid people ( The Kardashians ) shut up and go away, not just for a moment, either, but for forever.."

"yeah, so it shouldn't JUST be Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it should be Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, Khloe & Lamar, Kris Pimps Out Her Whole Family, Bruce Gets His Face Done or whatever shows they have!"

"The kardashians are nothing but spoiled Bitches, Who live in fairytale world. Real life is nothing as they make it seem, Nobody should look up to these Spoiled Brats. FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!"

"Worthless, media pimpin, trick...paleeze get them out."
