Last time I checked, the Kardashians got famous because of Kim's sex tape. Before that, I hardly think many people who know Kim, remember her far more famous dad Robert who was an attorney on the OJ case.

I always figured that most people that know of the Kardashians know of them as just some amorphous blob. I know the name, know they are famous for being famous, but couldn't tell you anything in particular about any of them. I don't even know how many there are, and until reading your post, didn't even make the connection to the OJ case.
To me, they're famous for South Park making fun of them all the time. Other than that, I couldn't tell you much about them.
I think if no-one remembers her dad it's hard to say he's far far more famous.

In fact the OJ case would be his brief flirt with fame. He is rich and powerful but his fame is two note: OJ and his family.
