[QUOTE=Sleeps With Butterflies] …Could it have happened to anyone who had sex even if they used protection? Yes. Seriously.dumb.comment. [/QUOTE] :rolleyes: Yes, it is a seriously dumb comment to note that a certain segment of the population is predisposed to have their first child in their mid teens. Money does not a midset change. ---

[QUOTE=DiosaBellissima] Fine, fine, fine. Unless you’re gay though, you can find yourself in the same situation as Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend. Happy? 😛 [/QUOTE] So…we should teach kids to be gay, instead of how to use condoms or be abstinent? Brilliant! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Sitnam] :rolleyes: Yes, it is a seriously dumb comment to note that a certain segment of the population is predisposed to have their first child in their mid teens. Money does not a midset change. [/QUOTE] Yeah, you’re totally right. I mean, I know I hate when those ghetto trash black people pop out kids all the damned time, too! I mean, they are WAY more likely to get knocked up than those dumb rednecks in Louisiana anyway! [PDF Cite.](http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/2006/09/12/USTPstats.pdf) I’m kidding about the first part, of course, but the cite still stands. Unless of course I’m either a: totally misreading that table or b: it’s a bad cite (either of which are possible, I’m an idiot). Oh, here’s another cite that breaks it down by state. [Cite.](http://www.teenpregnancy.org/america/statisticsDisplay.asp?ID=3&sID=20) Unless you’re talking about another subset of the population, in which case I’d be interested in what you are talking about. It clearly isn’t socio economic status, so I wonder what it is if it isn’t race. [QUOTE=WhyNot] So…we should teach kids to be gay, instead of how to use condoms or be abstinent? Brilliant! 😃 [/QUOTE] Exactly. AND our world’s fabulocity will increase exponentially. We all win, damnit! 😃 ---

The mother’s parenting book is now canceled. [Link.](http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/12/jamie-lynn-spea.html) It was to be published by a Christian publisher - no comment on gullibility from me. 🙂 The late night comments can’t catch a break can they. First the writer’s strike, and then the cancellation of something that would give them material for a week at least. ---

[/QUOTE] Oh, my, [you’re right](http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1478/Zoey_101.html). Those cartoony graphics don’t even look like her. (What is it with licensed video games based on live-action sitcoms and making their stars into cartoon characters? The same thing happened with [Hannah Montana](http://www.gamespot.com/pages/image_viewer/frame_lead.php?pid=933069&img=1&sid=undefined). Both look like good fodder for bad reviews, like the funny stuff Seanbaby does for EGM.) Watch out for the Britnatee! ---

Article from [MTV.com](http://MTV.com) thoroughly examining the possible legal consequences of the pregnancy, the actual laws in several states, and the question of the real age of Casey Aldridge.
