Man you really can’t get away from these people. You got Kate on TV all day and you have Jon banging tons of chicks. I can’t go a day without seeing a Jon and Kate update on my newsfeeds and I can’t figure out why. I don’t know why the media and the general population are so enamored with this couple and their kids, I don’t get it. And they are getting divorced and the kids are on TV and Jon thinks this and Kate says that.
I just don’t get it. I don’t watch the show but besides having 8 kids what qualifies this broken up couple as national news? Every news outlet is waiting on the next big Jon and Kate headline and frankly I really don’t give a shit. They have a TV show where I guess the kids run around, ok big fucking deal. Flava Flav had a TV show too but he’s not splashed up on my news sites or doing interviews on Good Morning America.
What does it solve either the fact that you’re airing all this family laundry on interviews? Is it to extend the 15 minutes of fame? Is it to make the show more appealing? I just don’t get it. Then again I don’t get a lot of things.
I’m just hoping these people go away because there’s way more important shit to be focusing on than the world of Jon and Kate. The kids really shouldn’t be subjected to a being on reality show either but that’s just my opinion. Which of the kids is the first one to grow up and do something completely outrageous or get hooked on drugs? At least they have an excuse when they do it… fucked up childhood with cameras around all the time.
It’s also interesting to note that Kate seemed to be the one who took the brunt of the media’s criticism shortly after they announced the divorce but now Jon is the one who is getting roughed up. Not much has changed I’m sure in terms of Jon and Kate but the media decided to take a particularly different tone after a couple of weeks.
Anyway, I think the show just got canceled which is great for America. These people can fall back into whatever semblance of normal like after the show stops taping and we the people won’t have to be bombarded by it on TV and the Internet. Of course we’ll probably see another incarnation of participants in this show on another show but hopefully it will take some time for Hollywood to get that together. I would be fine with a couple of guest spots on Hollywood Squares and some low key news reports about how the kids are adjusting just fine to life not in front of a camera crew. That’s not going to happen though.
