Rani Molla / TwitterThe comet landing was bigger than Kim Kardashian—at least on Twitter http://t.co/6zzB7wWnN0 pic.twitter.com/XXgGkF3mD6

KIM KARDASHIAN’S BOTTOM had big plans earlier this week.
The celebrity bared a surprising amount in Paper magazine under the banner of “break the internet”
However, her rather large behind didn’t even come close to achieving that.
Instead, and many would say more deservingly, the historic landing of a robot on a comet had a better chance.
Analysis by the Wall Street Journal reveals that while #breaktheinternet garned 300 tweets per minute at its peak, #cometlanding received nearly 3,200 mentions per minute.
Throwing the two search terms in Topsy, looking at tweets per day, shows #cometlanding jumps massively, with #breaktheinternet paling in comparison.
There is hope after all.
While we’re at it, could Kim have actually broken the internet? Not really, according to BBC’s Newsbeat, unless her bottom somehow managed to destroy the ‘spider’s web’ of cables – some deep undersea – that make up the internet.
Sorry, Kim.

GOOD!!…
Wish we could send her to a feckin comet and get rid!
Can we send her husband too?
Can someone explain exactly what her talent is? And why does she have so many followers on Twitter? What a sad world we live in..
Her father was involved in the OJ Simpson trial and she made a sex tape with Ray J who’s Brandy of Moesha fame’s brother. She’s been milking it ever since.
When your ass is your fame you have reached the bottom.
I only trust people with big butts.. They cannot lie
And their other siblings can’t deny
Alan, it’s “I like big butt and I cannot lie”, so it is the people who like big butts and not the people who have big butts that cannot lie.
No shit Sherlock it’s a joke
You pedantic prat, you ruined it
Kanye not see I was jokin
@Thomas I have you a green thumb for that. The sheer effort you went to for such a minute correction is both sad and admirable in equal measure.
Thomas, you’re being very ANAL about it.
That f*cken arse is everywhere! She needs a good kick in it, might deflate it a bit!
Photoshop to bits. Theres ones doing the rounds and its far different
Aye I saw the Edna Kenny version yesterday I’m starting therapy tomorrow!
Oh dear god. Youve just put me off my cookies and milk
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea…
Thomas, you really should just quit before you embarrass yourself even further.
Troll on Thomas, mammy is calling you, time for bed, sweet dreams poppet x
But they ALL have lovely bottoms
I thought she sat on it, if she did she’d break it.
Who’s the guy in the picture with the botched face job?
I’d still boldly go where lots of men have gone before…
If she had SAT on the Internet with her enormous beefy arse she would have had a better chance. Sick of this tribe.
Her hole is bigger than the comet too if them pictures are anything to go by…
She did not break the internet but she put a giant crack in it…Why oh why,do we make stupid people famous,she is as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike
This ‘human’ makes me wish it were I who were on that comet.
Kim and her army of followers is a prime example of humanity deserves no respect
God she’s ugly when she’s crying!
That’s what happens when you get a lump of plastic put in your ass.
and face
If Kim had an ounce of class she would take a few hints from your beauty.
Are you chatting someone up??……on the journal.ie?? Haha fair play man
Not being funny but who is this leech on society? Have heard her name obviously but I don’t know what she does. Or does she do anything at all? Is she one of these people who is famous just for the sake of being famous??? Don’t want to google her cos I would probably end up vomiting all over the laptop.
We live in a world we’re kim kardashians giant photo shopped ass gets more attention than one of the greatest scientific discoverys of recent times, sad really.
I’ve seen elephants with smaller holes!
It has to be said – they are all a***holes.
What a tool.
Her arse is as big as a barn door. She must have strong legs draging that around. In another 10 yrs she’ll need to sit on a 2 seater. She also has mouth like a torn pocket.
Ah come on Journal, you are better than this!
Her plan really went bottom up I suppose……..#sorrynotsorry
North west will be so proud of mumsie when he grows out a bit
Dat ass tho
That went down well
Kim who?
Kardashian. It’s in the title of the article.
I cannot keep up with them
In a few years time no matter where she sits in a room she will be beside you.
She has the talent of a flea in a circus
Is it just me or does her rear not just look fat even more so in the before photoshop pic. Do not know how any man could find her attractive. They must do though since ‘straight’ kanye is married to her.
If we attached her to a drone, twould never get off the ground!
She should try sitting on it next time
Love you kim! :*
Haha
If you’re more happy about seeing Kim Kardashians arse than seeing mankind land an object on a distant comet, then you’re an idiot.
Ya but look how quickly the comet fell again. #breaktheInternet is still going up. And what about the millions of people who hate kim who would have tweeted about it and would have made a point of not using #breaktheinternet
You’re an idiot
Some arse !!!
She has had it out before and anyways ya can find her bush on the net if ya look (not very) hard enough!
Perhaps more deservingly??!?!!
Yed see better on a building site
I thought id never say this but Kim looks better with her cloths on!!
Maybe it just broke wind
And yet this article has nearly 40k views….
I’d say she’d give it back to you fairly small.
She’s a c u next Tuesday
