The National League of Junior Cotillions, yes, the National League of Junior Cotillions, has shockingly named Kim Kardashian the Most Ill-Mannered Person of 2011. I know. Hard to believe.

The reality star received the dubious distinction from the National League of Junior Cotillions “for making a private matter public and disrespecting the institution of marriage.”

While Kim was found to be the most ill-mannered, Kate Middleton was awarded the title of Best-Mannered Person of 2011 “for the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight.”

“The annual selections are based on the demonstration of dignity, honor, and respect,” said Elizabeth Anne Winters, NLJC National Director. “Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, was chosen for the exemplary manner in which she has conducted herself, before and after her marriage to Prince William.”

I guess Kate Middleton is well-mannered. I haven’t actually seen her do anything other than get married to a prince so I couldn’t judge. She appears to have all the personality of a piece of toast. Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift also made this year’s list of Best-Mannered People. Eh, good choices, I suppose.

As for Kim’s selection, I don’t know. Look at that family Christmas card up there (which also comes in 3-D by the way). That looks like one of the classiest, most well-mannered groups of people I’ve ever seen. Just look at the way they’re all pretending to be staring at things. Classy. And have you watched their TV show lately? Oh, you have? Well, then… well done, NLJC.
