JON & KATE PLUS 8... BAH HUMBUG!!!!


I still remember very clearly the first time I saw the promotional trailers for Jon & Kate Plus 8, the 2007 reality television show: "GAWD SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE STERILISED THEM!"

The duo are highly unattractive people in every sense of the word and their parenting skills were so dubious that their families and friends should have had the good sense to have put the kids up for adoption the minute they were born.

Apparently, the new season of the show is all ready for broadcast -- and obviously the television stations are going to milk the fact that Jon & Kate have gone their separate ways. But obviusly not separate enough that the television cameras could miss the duo.

In the OMG website (http://omg.yahoo.com/news/tlc-viewers-will-see-jon-kate-date-others-when-show-returns/25864?nc), TLC president Eileen O'Neill, is reported to have read a statement about the reality show at Television Critics Associated Panel in Pasadena, California, saying, "Over the last four years and through 100 episodes, we've captured this remarkable family's entertaining chaos. Viewers fell in love and the show developed a passionate, loyal following. But this past spring, life intervened and the family's status changed. It was certainly something we never expected, nor planned to have happen. But this has resulted in unprecedented television."

At least everyone will be making pots of money, and the kids should be able to afford therapy when they grow up!
