Kim Kardashian tried breaking the Internet with her greasy naked body, but couldn’t even get more attention than a spaceship millions of miles away.

I don’t even want to consider what she might try now … desperate times call for desperate measures.

According to the Wall Street Journal — yes, they also write about Kim Kardashian, which makes me feel a little better — Internet traffic concerning Thursday’s historic comet landing of the Philae lander outpaced that of Paper magazine’s release of Kim Kardashian photos basically showing the world her naked body (which it had seen before, but it’s the Internet, so …). The headline promised Kardashian’s photos would “break the Internet.”

Not even close. Al Gore must’ve made it stronger than we thought.

The Journal reported the main hashtags used were #CometLanding and #BreakTheInternet, but to be more comprehensive, the publication included tweets containing the words “comet” and “Kardashian.” During the first 24 hours of the head-to-head matchup, the spaceship racked up 479,434 tweets, versus Kardashian’s 307,782.

Maybe they should try putting Kim Kardashian on the next spaceship on a one-way trip to a comet and see what happens …
