Kim Kardashian Opens Milkshake Franchise in Bahrain
Posted: Mon Dec 03, 2012 1:59 am
In what is probably the most important news of the 21st century so far, Kim Kardashian opened a milkshake franchise in Bahrain and a riot ensued. The press has not commented on the obvious relevance of Kim's anatomy to the franchise, but readers may want to know where the milk for those shakes comes from.
It's nice to know how Kim earns her living. (I think she's opening a men's shoe store in Pasadena next week.) If she's willing to pay me a six-figure salary, I'm willing to become her assistant. Sort of a vibrator with legs.

(Reuters) - Television celebrity Kim Kardashian brought out screaming fans, angry Muslim hardliners and police throwing stun grenades on Saturday when she visited Bahrain to launch a milkshake franchise, witnesses said.
About 100 Sunni Salafists demonstrated with banners outside The Walk Bahrain, an upmarket mall in the capital Manama, after some MPs tried to block the visit over what they called her "bad reputation", according to a local newspaper.
Thousands of fans, who had paid up to 500 Bahraini dinars ($1,360) a ticket, broke into hysterical screams as the 32-year-old celebrity launched the Millions of Milkshakes franchise inside the mall.
Witnesses said police dispersed the demonstrators with stun grenades as the inauguration proceeded inside. There were no reports of casualties.
Kardashian stirred controversy even before she arrived in Bahrain from Kuwait, where she opened another store last week.
Hardline Sunni Muslim MPs presented a motion to parliament calling her "an actress with an extremely bad reputation", according to Bahrain's English language Gulf Daily News.
The assembly did not vote on the motion, the newspaper said.
Many Kardashian fans tweeted their displeasure, saying the "MPs should focus their time on solving key political, economic and social issues", the newspaper reported.
Bahrain, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is based, is trying to overcome nearly two years of unrest among its majority Shi'ite Muslims demanding political reforms and equality with the Sunni Muslims who rule the kingdom.
