The blatant money making machine that is "Kardashian" has reached the nadir of popularity, as the quickie marriage and divorce of Kim Kardashian spurred a boycott with nearly 150,000 signatures online.

Kim Kardashian and her family are the cash cows for Ryan Seacrest production and E! with all the various Kardashian-related programming.

Georgia filmmaker Tyler Perry also signed on Kim Kardashian in his movie "The Marriage Counselor" despite the hubbub.  He has responded directly to criticism about his casting choice on his website.

Cyndy Snyder, who created a ban petition, is tired of all the E! shows that glamourize the Kardashian family life: "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," and "Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami."

The tipping point for the over-saturation was "Kim Kardashian's Fairytale Wedding.' which saw a huge build up and accusations from an ex publicist that the entire affair was a staged publicity event.

Even PETA (People for the ethical treatment of animals) is taking Kim and Ko. on with a sad billboard, going up in early December at the corner of Beverly Boulevard and Sweetzer Avenue in Los Angeles.

The billboard, according to Us Weekly, is a fur-clad Kardashian opposite some baby foxes. "Kim: These Babies Miss Their Mother," reads the provocative sign. "Is She on Your Back?"

"Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. We've explained it to her, and she's watched a video exposé that was filmed inside fur farms," says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange of Kim.

Talk back, are you tired of the Kardashian machine? Do you love Kim Kardashian and hang on all their adventures? Do you feel Rob Kardashian is the only one you can take?
