Another Excellent Reason To Cancel Jon And Kate Plus Eight Forever

As any of my regular readers know I don't care for reality television. One of my reasons for disliking this kind of programming is that these very strange people who are so willing to give up their privacy get rewarded for engaging in behaviors we would condemn in everyday, average folks we see daily.

Clearly it's time this Jon dude from Jon And Kate Plus Eight to get back to the real world and a real job. If you have a eight children and a failing marriage, but you still have time to be swirling around France with your 22-year-old mistress/girlfriend, you clearly have too much available free time. I wonder if this cat called his children everyday he was out of the country.

This is not reality, it's fantasy. Fantasy funded by television dollars and supported by the folks that continue to watch this crap.

The Reality Television Hustle - Jon And Kate Plus Eight Equals A Whole Lot Of Dumbass People Watching Their Show

I'm not a fan of reality television. I think it's stupid, degrading, and pointless. And I never get folks watching these shows relentlessly. What in the hell in any of these shows is actually "real" and why in the hell would any human being what to watch the public embarrassments, disagreements, and silliness of some of these people? It is really sad that average people have become so bored with their own lives that they get pleasure out of watching the train wrecks of other folks lives. We have enough people EVERYDAY making mistakes that are not on television.

TLC needs to cancel Jon and Kate Plus Eight because that family has disintegrated and they helped it happen. The people that have tuned in to regular watch that crap are guilty as well. We say we care about children in this country and then we allow people to turn their children into circus performers. This show was never about family, it was always about the deteriorating human condition and how far we are willing to degrade ourselves and our families for a dollar and a little bit of attention. It's disgusting and depressing!
