more jon and kate + 8
this is an excerpt from a letter from the Dionne quintuplets (Born in 1934 in canada and taken by the canadian government to live in "quintland" for 9 years on display for the public) to the McCaughey Septuplets in 1997:
"WE HOPE YOUR CHILDREN RECEIVE MORE RESPECT THAN WE DID. THEIR FATE SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF OTHER CHILDREN. MULTIPLE BIRTHS SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH ENTERTAINMENT, NOR SHOULD THEY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SELL PRODUCTS. OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED BY THE EXPLOITATION WE SUFFERED."
So yuck it up folks, watch Jon and Kate + 8 and 18 and counting, and any of the numerous other fertility porn shows on TV, it doesn't hurt the kids or anything....
What is the difference in the Dionne kids being in an amusement park for your enjoyment and all the broods of multiples being broadcast on your TV every week, and then those shows living on FOREVER on the web, DVD's and reruns?
The Dionne girls didn't have a fantastic life after their "show" run ended. Two girls died young and the remaining 3 lived together (2 were divorced) and the 1998 NYT described them as "broke and bitter."
At least in the '00 era, all our mulitples who are on TV now will have access to years and years of therapy.
Way to go with fucking up America's youth TLC.

jon n kate plus 8
If anyone gets mothering tips from Kate Gosselin they seriously need to look elsewhere. Kate Gosselin uses her sharp controlling tongue towards whomever enters her path, the children see and learn this is ok behavior. If you want your children to learn it is alright to disrespect your husband follow Kate Gosselin. If you want your children to learn material things are more important than someones feelings follow Kate Gosselin. If you want your children to be self centered and selfish follow Kate Gosselin. If you want your children to complain about everything follow Kate Gosselin. If you want your children to have no friends follow Kate Gosselin. If you want your children to ban family members from their life follow Kate Gosselin.
Last night, Kate seemed to try to back track by mentioning her harshness with fans and “maybe” she has been hard on Jon. Seems someone has been reading viewer mail is trying to change the negative perceptions of some fans of the show.
Several of the children already exhibit Kate’s bad attitude. Mady, Collin, Hannah, Leah. They are described by Kate Gosselin as stubborn, wants to be in charge, screams to get their point across, complain. Uh Kate sounds like you.
Kate Gosselin will never get the help her family needs. It is all about her and what she wants. In the name, of doing this for my children baloney. In years to come the children will look back and know which parent was there for them, which parent nurtured them, listened to them, let them play like children, took the time to explain things to them. It won’t be the one flying all over the country touting what a great parent she is.
Jon wants this circus to stop for the sake of the children. Kate
Gosselin wants this circus to continue in spite of the children.
Kate Gosselin pride goes before the fall.
My two cents is that when Jon says he did'nt sign up for all this (media attention, quitting his job to stay at home and be jon and kate plus 8 etc...) yes, yes you did. Are you new? Have you ever seen a reality show on TV before? You did sign up for all THIS you signed up to whore out your family life for the cameras and to be judged and to be stalked by cameras and to have tabloids written about you etc...
and Kate, when you say this is all for your family? Really? Your 8 kids need TONS and TONS of free shit, trips to Colorado, and Hawaii fully paid for, their youth and all their tantrums etc..captured on camera FOREVER, and a 1.2 million dollar house on 40 acres to be happy kids? Really? Cause you know my kids live in a mostly crappy 130k house, the only free shit they got was when the twins were born and we sent out their birth certificates and got like some formula and diapers and we generally don't video tape their meltdowns and bad days and show them to 9.8 million people....and they seem to be happy and healthy and loved.
If any parent cared at all for their kids you would NEVER ever put them on camera for the world to see, at least until they can decide for themselves if they WANT to be on camera.
and..when Kate says none of this effects her children....did she watch one of the girls hug Jon and say "I wish you would come home."? Kids who are 5 do know whats going on, do understand when a parent isnt there and are effected by all "this." If dale just didnt come home how long to you think my kids would just accept he is gone? From experience, about 3 minutes. If dale leaves at night after they are in bed it takes about 3 minutes for Mya to ask "when is daddy coming home."
Every single one of these families who pimp their kids and their relationships out on TLC are engaging in nothing more than child abuse and are just whoring out the kids...it doesnt matter if you are one of the crazy quivverfull parents and your 18 kids or Little People, Big World...just accept and admit you are pimping the kids out for cash...is it somehow acceptable to pimp your kids for cash if you can justify that their college is paid for, they get to experience all this stuff "normal" people don't, etc...? Really? Just because you are not pimping for sex, doesn't make it any more acceptable.
I really fucking hate jon and kate plus 8, they give all us multiple moms a bad name.
Those two are just fucktards.

sad day
over on facebook i do most of my posting/looking around and chatting with friends...in my travels i have reconnected (or whatever) with old coworkers and high school peeps...it has been cool talking with people i havent seen in years.
its also been sad....
a guy i went to HS with and was friend(ly/s) with just let everyone know that his very young son died. from pictures i estimate that he wasnt much more than 2...I didnt want to be one of the many who were facebooking "what happened? whats wrong?" so i FB'd another friend who said they found their son in the middle of the night with no pulse..they were able to revive him but after 24 hours with no brain activity they decided to let him go and he died in their arms.
heartbreaking.
i'm 32. this is the 2nd child of a high school friend who has died in the last 6 months. at 32 i dont expect to be going to funerals for my friends...or my friends children...at 32 i expect to be attending the funeral for people in their 80's, not a 2 day old baby and a 2 year old.
i never really questioned or considered my own mortality as much as i have in the last 6 months.
so if you think of it, regardless of your spiritual orientation, light a candle or spare a thought for Faith and for Nic, if you are one who believes dead is dead, spare the thought or light the candle for their parents and siblings...if you are one who believes in heaven and all that, well, you know what to do...
my thoughts go out to Brian and his family....
There shall be a returning for thee.....
