One of today’s trending Twitter topics is Jon & Kate.
OMG! They are getting separated or divorced, I’m not sure.
That is just the end of the world as we know it!
Think of the children.
Look people if you are whining & sniveling over these people then you must have a real problem.
Jon & Kate are a couple who chose to get married, have 8 kids & put their lives in the spotlight.
They get paid dearly for doing this show; they also get to keep the show going if there are high ratings.
You my friend are to blame! You hear that they are arguing, possibly having an affair, spanking the kids…And you tune in.
Why?
Because misery loves company!
It’s like people that watch this crap want them to fail.
Oh no, you aren’t going to start with the “I watch because I really care about them”.
Bullshit!
If you want to care about someone then why don’t you go check on that single mom down the street?
Maybe the elderly guy that is home bound might enjoy having a little company.
What about the guy that is playing the part of a single dad while his wife is in Iraq fighting in a war? Have you ask how they are doing?
You know, people in your neighborhood that really may need the care & concern.
Yeah, they aren’t on TV, no one at the water cooler talks about them, and those people just aren’t as cool as John & Kate.
People get divorced everyday & live to tell about it. Only difference here is they may loose their show.
Now, go take that hour you would waste watching Jon & Kate bicker & do something to help a person/family that appreciates it for more than just a way to make a dollar!

This whole thing reeks of media hype. To attract a wider audience the producers had to inject issues that covered a greater cross section of society. Some of the new topics to be covered can include Jon and Kate file for separation, Jon and Kate seek counseling, Jon has an affair with their marriage counselor because she really understands him, Kate has an affair with their marriage counselor because she really understands her too. Jon and Kate get a lawyer. Jon and Kate file for divorce. The lawyers get Jon and Kate’s assets. The kids choose sides and fight over whether to live with Jon or Kate. Neither Jon or Kate can afford these kids so the State takes custody. Kate attempts suicide. Jon flees the country to Bolivia.
Don’t you see how many seasons of reality TV can be squeezed out of the life of some stupid couple with more kids than brains? Jon should have just strapped on a condom and shtupped Kate happily for the rest of their lives. But then, that doesn’t make for good television.

I guess Jon & Kate will have to come up with something really big now.
The day of their divorce announcement was trumped by Ed McMahon passing.
Then this morning I saw they were to be interviewed again but, that was put on a back burner to Farrah Fawcett loosing her battle with cancer.
Now that Micheal Jackson has died, there is no one left to think about poor Jon & Kate.
So, I think you are right that they may as well bring in the lawyers, nanny, bodyguard.. have a mass knock down drag out.
We can always just wait a year & see them on something like ‘past wanna be celebrity boxing’.
