John & Kate + Hate

So, I've never watched this crap show John andKate Plus Eight. I watched it last night because I wasn't ready to go to bed yet and there was really nothing else on. So the parents of these eight children, two girls and a set of sextuplets, are divorcing. Throughout the shots of their children happily playing in a set of new children's houses donated by a building company the parents talk to the camera about how they feel and what the future holds.

Throughout this whole ordeal they spoke of how much they loved their children. Uh-huh. Is that why you're divorcing, because you love your kids so much? Here's a question - why don't you stop the damn reality show and work on getting your family back together?

Oh, because then you wouldn't be in the spotlight, invited to all the major Hollywood parties and see your faces splashed all over the news. Oh, ok, I understand. How much can you really love your children if you are willing to expose them to the paparazzi and Hollywood executives? These kids aren't growing up in a home, they are growing up on a set. Yeah, but that's ok, because Hollywood has a record of child stars ending up productive citizens. Uh-huh.

I think the children should be taken away and given to a family that will give a shit. Then these "parents" need to be publicly caned. After they lie on a bleeding, raw back for a few days their perspective on what's important might change. She says they did this show so they could afford to raise a family. All I see is them getting free stuff. Kids don't need play houses in order to grow, they need guidance and love.

Kate, the harpy in this tale, looked miserable during the whole show. And because of her misery the kids were subdued. A set of 5-yar-old sextuplets subdued? Yeah, real healthy. And all I saw the asshole John do was ignore his children and mug for the camera. Hmmmm, maybe divorce is their best option.

I'm not fooled for one moment that these "parents" love their children. They love the attention these kids have brought them. If they loved their kids soooo much, the moment things went south they would have dumped the show and worked on being a family. Contratulations, assholes, I hope you'll have family therapy donated because the amount needed isn't going to be earned by any amount of reality shows.
