The wife used to watch the horrible show. I think it was worth a 30 minute special, but a freakin’ series? Whatever.
Now that these two dimwits have decided to divorce, I hear them on the news and on most websites on a daily basis.
There was a charming Black family from Houston on Oprah the other day (the wife taped it, and I happened to be walking by). I think they had 4 or 5 kids. Now they seemed to be interesting and funny folks. Why didn’t TLC recruit them for a show? I suppose a reasonably well-adjusted, loving family would make for bad TV.
This Jon character seems to be the poster boy for Douchebag Illustrated. Apparently he cleaned out their bank account a week after saying he wanted to reconcile.
If there was a “Porn Pool” (instead of the “Death Pool”) I’d put this fool at the top of the list.
And as much as I hate to say it… what about the children?!? They’re going to have their own shows about getting therapy (all eight of 'em) after this shitstorm is over.
I had never watched the show, before their marital problems hit the tabloids. I remember when my wife first said, “So did you hear about Jon and Kate,” I was like, “Who?”
I wonder if publicists study Jon to know what NOT to do. When the divorce news broke, he was the hero, finally standing up to a shrill wife that was exploiting their children. Now, Kate’s the good one and Jon is a jerk.
I’m embarrassed to have started this thread, but shit, I had to tell somebody. People IRL would remove me from my respected place in the community if they knew I was following this.
Maybe it’s like power. Those who want it (or a reality show) are the ones who shouldn’t have it, and those who don’t want it, are the ones who should. Maybe they’re the kind of family who think a one time Oprah special is fine but don’t want to expose their kids to being on a reality show.
Anyway, Jon and Kate are two sad, sad people, and I too wish they’d just leave.
I was watching a show or something, and someone made a joke referring to Jon Gosselin and everyone laughed. I felt really out of tune not knowing who they were talking about.
But, I DO know who “Jon and Kate” are, and who “Jon and Kate Gosselin” are. I know the story, I’ve read some articles.
It’s just that “Jon Gosselin” as a single entity is a big ol’ woosh to me
