The Kardashians have been going through a little bit of a PR crisis ever since Kim pulled her 72-day marriage fiasco. They've attempted to explain it away, even donated twice the value of her wedding gifts to charity, but are still struggling to keep the name afloat. Naturally, they've got to focus on their business ventures to build up that rep, and the latest product on their list is a new line of Sears lingerie. The odds are against them, but we asked the public what they think of the line.
For the Kardashians, a split decision is a relative win. They never come out ahead in polls, unless it's a "most obnoxious celebrity" poll that doesn't include Snooki. Obviously, you have to take their reputation into account on anything like this. Some people will turn away from the name alone, as evidenced by the comments. But there were plenty of takers. One commenter wrote, "Say what you will about these morons, but their fashion line isn't half bad. Maybe instead of wasting our time on the telly, these girls should just stick to overseeing their fashion line."
Men Are More Into It
Some commenters suggested the "trashy" votes could be the product of jealousy, and at first glance that appears to be supported by the fact that women were more likely to vote against the lingerie. But it wasn't a big difference, and we have to wonder if men would be more likely to call any lingerie line "sexy."
Older Voters Are Against It
Again, this could easily be a matter of opinion on lingerie in general. Interest peaked at about 30 years old, descending steadily in either direction. At about 50, interest is back down to where it was for teens, and as voters got older, interest dwindled even more.
Not So Sexy If You're Slender
Now this was interesting. With the exception of slim voters, every other weight type -- average, athletic, love handles -- thought the line was sexy. Only a quarter of the skinniest respondents voted in favor. Maybe the ad they used is just a little too curvy to appease everyone.
