Jon and KateWhen I was ambushed this morning with yet another sickening “Jon and Kate” story, I asked for the first time:  ”Who the hell is taking care of their eight children?” For the past month, these two have been the subject of constant interviews and “celebrity” sightings, but I never see their kids with them.

Yet Kate Gosselin claimed that she did it all for the kids, but it’s clearly not the case. Several testimonies from sources close to the family, including her estranged husband Jon, reported that the show was having a negative affect on the children. The layers of bullshit continue to pile on.

Gosselin’s tortured desperation for attention has shoved her entire family into the wrong spotlight. Along with the Balloon Boy fiasco, they’ve set an example for prostituting their children – and dignity – for the opportunity at fame and wealth.

Reality shows used to just be a cheap entertainment pursuit for individuals with unique character or talent, but now they’re beginning to have a profound affect on the people who don’t know any better; the next generation. Reality shows are becoming a midlife crisis attempt for parents looking for excitement.

As long as people continue to pay any attention to this crap, it will continue to happen.

There is nothing artistic about this entertainment, if you can even call it that, and it should be treated like the most mundane, insignificant news you’ve ever heard, because that’s exactly what it is.
