Good grief! Did you catch Jon Gosselin on ABC Primetime his interview Wednesday night? I could hardly watch. Tool alert! Tool alert! Saved forever for prosperity. Dug your own grave. Your kids will be taunted with this interview for the rest of their lives.
I wouldn't say I am fan of either one of these two reality TV stars. Although, I have been a bit obsessed with the melt down of their marriage. Here's the big things that get on my nerves:
1) Why in the WORLD were 20 somethings given fertility assistance resulting in two sets of multiples? I thought fertility treatments were a last resort effort reserved for people who had tried for years to get pregnant and had no success. Seems like their doctor is to blame for the pre-boarding on the crazy train.
2) Who the HELL gets a Winnie The Pooh tattoo on their ankle? Ahem, Kate. I can see why you ended up with Jonny Boy. Seriously, Winnie The Pooh. I'm trying to imagine walking into a parlor with your A. A. Milne book.
3) The matchy-matchy wardrobe business. Not really sure why this annoys me so much. I guess if you have a child army a uniform has its advantages. I'm probably just jealous. My head tends to spin every time I walk into a Gymboree. Seriously, Kate probably uses Gymbucks™ for wiping or scrap paper.
The thing that really bothered me about the televised interview this week was Jon's little baby fit explanation that he hadn't been "out" for over 8 years. Poor guy, he'd had to parent v. hitting the happy hour. He had to take care of his children v. being present at the birth of beer pong.
I'm sure this scratches a personal nerve for me because my father has used a similar defense. My dad likes to say "I spent the best years of my life raising you." Now taken at face value, one might thing he meant that parenting me was the highlight of his life. Except that it was followed by some Jon-ish stammers of not being able to go out with his friends, not being able to travel to St. Tropez with his methfaced girlfriend and being a single parent really cut into his Jon Hardy budget. Wait, it was the 70's so I guess the girlfriend was on pills and he wore Munsingwear™. *sigh* But either way, he wants sympathy for parenting during his 20's. So if my dad is any indication, Jon's will still be complaining about missing out on keg stands and body shots long beyond the time all eight of his kids have hung up their own beer goggles. (TLC had Aiden's specially made with his prescription.)
What bothers you about the Gosselin's?

Maybe he struck a nerve, cause I think they are both world class douches. Now, I am basing this judgment on having flipped past the show years ago. I just kept thinking: what a frigging bitch. that guy is going to cheat on her. why the hell do they have so many kids. is that hair supposed to mean she's a cool mom?
But then, I always side with Don Draper, too. So I apparently hate women.
Ha ha! What bothers me is that I find myself watching it sometimes when I am flipping channels and then I can't stop, it's like watching a bad train wreck...can't-take-eyes-off.
I have to admit I don't watch ANY reality TV. But I will say this - those two are disgusting Fame Whores who don't deserve ANYTHING BUT CRAP. He's evil & she's gross.
So I can honestly say I just wish they would disappear.
Not to fire up a mommy-war, but, I take issue with what some refer to as her "career" and "working". She is a celebrity Ho. Corporate America would chew her up and spit her out faster than she could say, "that just won't do".
Hey V-
Are you still coming to Austin for Halloween? Jen & I are going to be there for The Race For The Cure on Nov. 1st if you want to meet up for a coffee or something...
