Here’s the story: > **[Historic Meeting of the Moms to Convene in Alaska](https://www.gawker.com/5594665/historic-meeting-of-the-moms-to-convene-in-alaska)** > > Yes, professional child-haver Kate Gosselin is lugging her TLC TV show circus up to the Northern wilds to hang out with known Mama Grizzly, Sarah Palin. The gang is going to go on a very special, very filmed camping trip. Am I the only one who anticipates the universe collapsing in on itself when these two egos meet? ---

Well, my opinion of Kate Gosselin just went down a notch. :smack: ---

The Learning Channel? What useful information could you possibly learn from them? ---

I look forward to them both being eaten by bears. ---

It’s not a special- it’s for Kate’s regular show. ---

We can only pray that both do not survive the encounter. Both failing to survive is probably too much to hope for. ☹ ---

I would watch it, if it were a cage match or jello wrestling maybe. ---

Who the hell is Kate Gosselin? On second thought, never mind. ---

I second the vote for the jello wrestling. Mud wrestling would also be OK. Under no circumstances will speech be permitted, unless it is to yell, “YOU JELLO FLINGING BITCH” or other such short phrases. ---

What color is the jello? I vote for lime green. These two seem to have willingly entered that phase of celebrity where they are famous for being famous. Like those celebrities who really haven’t accomplished much, except having cameras aimed at them. ---
