I don’t know about you, but I am up to my ears in Jon & Kate Plus Eight talk.
I have a new equation for you:
Jon + Kate + Eight children + Media Attention = DISASTER
I must admit, I was an avid watcher of Jon & Kate Plus Eight… but that was long ago. When it used to be a simple show, one that displayed how tough it is to parent two sets of multiples, but still showed, at the end of the day, two parents that loved and cared for each other and their brood. Yes, each episode, no matter what went down, depicted love, caring and a commitment to the kids. Recent episodes, on the other hand, resembles a really bad episode of Jerry Springer, where the Father is a cheating, emotionally battered and nonsensical jerk and the Mother is a pathetic, bitchy and super needy media whore, both airing their dirty laundry for the world to see. Millions are now tuning in, each week, to watch this awkward and horrible train wreck occur.
Is this really good for the kids? Mommy belligerently crying on the Today Show every time Daddy does something stupid… I don’t think so.

I’m Hatin'.
Message to Jon and Kate Gosselin: Get it together. Retire the TV show and your kids from the spotlight until you can work out your differences, amicably and not in front of the public eye. At this point, I could care less about who is right and who is wrong; and who did what to whom. What should be most important are your kids.
Stop using the media as your soundboard and please begin saving the millions you’ve made from TLC to go towards the innumerous therapy sessions that Mady, Cara, Aaden, Joel, Collin, Hannah, Alexis and Leah, will all desperately need. Everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, when it’s over, what will your time look like and will it be something you’re proud of?
Officially on team “Plus Eight.”
Message to the MEDIA: You are so misguided. There are REAL problems in the world. Countries fighting, no cure for cancer or AIDS (supposedly, but I will drum on my conspiracy theories at another time), racism still exists, Americans are being ripped from their homes, have no jobs or healthcare and are being financially raped by the Banking industry. With all this going on, the only thing you air daily, is the life and happenings of this family? Glad to see where your priorities lie.
Hate on Hater!
