Back Dat Ass Up
August 7, 2008 10:27 AM Subscribe
Sick and tired of sitting at home, eating a pint of ice cream, watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians and wondering why you can't have the success that Kim Kardashian has had? Have you always wondered if you could take her in a fight? Do you need to prove that your butt can take her butt? Well, now you can.
Facebreaker is the newest game from EA Sports that allows you to create your own cartoon boxers. To show this, EA sports used D-List celebrity Kim Kardashian to take on EA's president Peter Moore. Created players will be uploaded to the EA servers and be available for download.

I have no idea who that is and even I can tell that looks nothing like her.
And why does her mom want her to lose weight? And what kind of an idiot still accidentally1 releases a sex tape? LEARN FROM HISTORY, YOU IDIOTS
1 I may have just answered my own question.

I really, really hate that I know who this person is. But I like that I can punch her in the face. So I guess it's a wash?

Jeez, between her and Paris Hilton, I'm starting to think that a sex tape is the done thing when it comes to advancing your career.

Kudos to Bush for the save - telling her to lay off the Alfredo sauce for "health reasons".

Every time I see this person's name come up, I once again try to figure out who exactly she is that her name takes up even a little bit of real-estate in my brain, and I always get bored before I figure it out.
Is there any reason we should know who this person is? What does she do?

By following those links, I discovered what she does.
a) Hangs out with Paris Hilton
b) Has notably large and shapely hindquarters
c) Was paid, via settlement, five million dollars by Vivid Video for her "accidentally leaked" sex tape.
Based on this information, I have concluded she is an exorbidantly well paid porn star.

An Armenian, but not starving.
(My mom always said "starving Armenians" when I was a kid. It was a long time before I realized that Armenia was a real country, not just the postfix to "starving".)

Peter Moore is the head of the EA Sports label. John Riccitiello is the head of EA. Also, the game/face capturing looks a lot better in real life in the source HD.

Wow. Lot of hate on many of those links. Is she a torturer? Dictator? Murderer?
Oh, she's a privileged rich person. Well, so am I, and so is pretty much everyone else on MetaFilter. And sure, she shouldn't be famous just for being famous. But I'm contributing to that, aren't I? Whoops!
Right, I'll go off and, I don't know, read some Keats. Because he was a major character in this sci-fi book I just read, and I have to confess I skipped all the poetry - like LORD OF THE RINGS - so I should go check him out and work out why the author loved him so. Cheerio!

I onced actually watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The plot involved buying chickens, keeping the chickens in the back yard, putting the chickens in the mother's bathub (?) and then deciding to get rid of the chickens. There was also a sub plot about someone taking an acting class. Kim Kardashian was about 5 minutes of the show. The rest is just about her family, who have even less reason for having a show.

Compared to the world average, I'm pretty privileged and rich. Possibly even compared to the US average. Yep. (Although household income is kind of a poor way to measure wealth. Rough estimate.)

It looks like the show is about Robert Kardashian's daughters. I had to look it up myself.
The E! network is a vast repository of reality shows starring people with vaguely familiar surnames--familiar because they are related to people associated with scandals. They also have a show called "Living Lohan," which is about Lindsay's mother's attempts to whore out her younger children to the entertainment industry. You know, the one that's treated Lindsay so well and left her remarkably well-adjusted.

DU - sure, compared to much of the world everyone in the US is "rich", but there's a difference between having a house and a bunch of broken ass computers* and making $20,000 to just go and sit at a club. to pretend there's not is disingenuous.

You live in a house? Most of the rest of the world lives in huts, so you're rich and privileged!
You ate today? Well, most of the rest of the world didn't so you must be rich and privileged!

PS1 quality graphics right there.
I've always thought Kim Kardashian herself looks like she stepped out of a PS1 game, all vacant and uncanny-valley. Like if she turned to the side, you wouldn't see a profile, just facial features painted on the side of an oval. Like if she talked, her lips would just move up and down, and her arms would kind of wave around incongruously in an attempt at expression. Maybe it's because I've only seen photos of her - and she has the same expression in every one - but she just doesn't look real.

Well, I think she's quite attractive. Very full, feminine figure: wide curvy hips, round butt, full breasts, some nice facial features. I've never met her, haven't watched her show or her tape, but any pictures I've seen are generally flattering. I dare say I... I would hit that with excessive fervor!
Oh, sorry, I forgot I was atknee-jerk hipster* paradise Metafilter. This must be where the boyzone self-emasculates in its rush to prove that they don't find women attractive at all, lest that be confused with objectification. Hell, if my girlfriend looked like that I'd be pretty stoked. Hell, if I at least had a girlfriend, I'd be pretty stoked!

I'd love to compare butts with her in real life. That's a true statement, not sarcasm at all.
I just don't get putting her in a video game, though. Unless you're going to have some kind of all-celebrity gang war game, like the Kardashians vs. the Sheens, or somesuch.
