Intro plus Jon and Kate plus 8

This is my first blog entry and it really is just an outlet to present all my thoughts on the world. I have no clue what is supposed to be blog-approved commentary but this is being done at the urging of my sister and Phi.

But what the hell is everyone's fascination with TLC's Jon and Kate plus 8 (J&K+8)? I made the mistake of sitting down this 4th of July weekend at my sister's apartment and watching some episodes. (Sidenote: TiVo is one of the greatest inventions of my lifetime, but it allows for the repeated watching of crap like J&K+8. But I'll continue.) First of all, why does a family of 10 deserve a weekly show to account what is a regular happening like having children? Oh, there's 8 of them, how special. Secondly, I hope I am not the only one that thinks Kate is a complete bitch. My opinion is based only on two episodes and all the tabloids that have covered all the divorce stuff, so I'm definitely biased. I have never seen a woman got out of her way to steal the spotlight like Ms. Gosselin. I will have a separate post on all the reasons why she needs to be removed from the public eye later. After watching the episode in which the whole family went back to the hospital where all the kids were delivered and hearing Kate retell every detail of every room they lived in, I developed a newfound hatred for her. This woman can tell you that the bed in her room was pushed against the wall instead of sticking out into the center of the room, but she cannot keep her marriage together. Attention to detail is attention to detail, but perhaps it is a little misplaced.
