Israeli ultra-Orthodox site cuts Kim Kardashian from photo

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jewish news website has cut Kim Kardashian — one of the world's most photographed women — from a photo taken of her in Jerusalem this week.

The original photo of Kardashian, her husband, Kanye West, and Jerusalem's Mayor Nir Barkat was altered to put Kardashian behind a restaurant receipt. Kardashian was blurred in another.

Nissim Ben Haim, an editor at the Kikar HaShabbat website, said Wednesday they removed Kardashian because she's a "pornographic symbol" who contradicts ultra-Orthodox values.

In an article chiding Barkat for dining with them at a non-kosher restaurant, Kardashian was referred to as "West's wife."

Within the insular Ultra-Orthodox community, pictures of women often aren't shown out of modesty. In January, an ultra-Orthodox newspaper removed German chancellor Angela Merkel from a photo.

Obviously they aren't Keeping up with the Kardashians.

[thaibeachlovers]

I wish the Kardashians were removed from every media so I don't have to think about them, EVER.

[geriatrickid]

I'm no fan of the ultraorthodox, but in this case, I consider it no different than editing out an offensive image such as a turd, an oozing abscess or a crack whore with exposed genitalia. The Kardashian clan are an abomination and represent all that is wrong with society.We would all benefit if their name was never mentioned again and they returned to their lives of being uneducated, ignorant, low class bimbos.

The target audience for KUWTKardashians are the celebrity-obsessed TV-addicted Americans in the age range teenagers to thirties.

Not us senior citizens in third-world countries.

[Jingthing]

One of the benefits of being a long term American abroad ... spared the Kardashian mania, or so I've heard.

Those ultra religious Jews often do offensive things but they hit a HOME RUN with this one!

[ezzra]

Kardashian or not, those ultra orthodox are good for nothing, a blight on otherwise a fairly

good and even society, those ultras only take, give nothing in return and hate every thing

that Israel is and stand for, they're like a fifth column inside the country, and most of the

population in Israel rather discussed with them and the 200 years old way of life and

mentalities the live and lead.....

[wabothai]

Who are they the karsakstans?

[Broeno]

Thaivisa. If you bring the news, also bring the pictures. Or are you ...........

[GentlemanJim]

These 'non celebrities' that have contributed nothing to the world other than having a TV camera in their home are a total blight on humanity. Why these oxygen thieves are rocketed to celebrity stardom is totally beyond me.

Living out here for so many years I have thankfully been spared them, and never even seen them on TV. However - True story about 6 years ago I was flying back to the UK and the guy next to me said "what do you think about the kardassians', and i honestly turned to him and said 'is their a new star trek movie? I don't think I have seen it yet'. he then took 10 minutes to explain that was the Cardassian's and he was talking about the 'Kardashians'. Same same, an unwelcome alien life form.

Who are they the karsakstans?

Think its one of these obscure little used to be Soviet block countries that nobody knows where it is and nobody can pronounce the name properly.

[Chicog]

They must have chopped most of the photograph out to avoid getting that enormous pair of buttocks in view.

Oh really. This too?

[notmyself]

More on this story and the real reasons why.

[mania]

[Chicog]

No doubt they all had to pore and fap over a variety of Kardashian pictures and videos before making their stern pronouncement.

[Lokie]

Each of the following emoticons are appropriate.

There are some ladyboys in Pattaya with wide hips like that ( must be the latest fashion ). Is she a ladyboy ?

[Steely Dan]

I could have walked past her in the street without recognizing her, but I must say the resemblance to a prehistoric fertility symbol is striking, she should be stood in a field to boost production.

[tifino]

the Orthodoxs' could have cut some slack, but they'd have blunted their scalpel on her tuff silicon leather

so I anti-photoshopped her, for a normal? (if that's possible) perspective

I let her keep her b(o)(o)bies though...
