Well, duh. Remember the Ladies Home Journal regular features, “Can This Marriage Be Saved?”
From all I’ve read — and I’ve read far too much on this sad family — no, the Gosselin marriage couldn’t be saved — at least, according to the latest report from People magazine.
Godspeed to the both of them, and please, can we change the channel now?
(Actually? It appears that many people already have, according to this. That makes me feel mildly better about the American viewing public.)
What’s going to happen to their kids? Are they going to split them up?
One article said the kids will stay in place, and their father will spend weekends with him, and their mother weekdays.
Is the show going to continue?
Good question. Man, I hope not.
The show’s going to continue. They’re just going to do interviews and stuff separately. Probably, they need the money to pay for raising eight kids in that ginormous house.
All I can say is: Ewww…
To get the ratings back up, they’ll have to have break-up sex. Live.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
At which point I guess we can all just wave goodbye to the culture-as-we-knew-it.
I would actually think that would be the best thing that could ever happen for the people who preach abstinence until marriage.
It might be the single most anti-sex moment in the history of TV. I’ll try to think of some others, but I’m not much of a TV watcher.
The whole Jon-and-Kate thing? Anti-sex?
DJ, DJ, DJ …
What I meant was, who would ever want to have sex again after watching Jon and Kate do it?
Thank you for spelling it out for me. I have not yet reached my gallon limit of coffee and it shows.
Uh-oh — this reminds me: singer-monologist Chris Chandler suggests a different kind of reality show — this from his newsletter where he included some of his Facebook posts:
“a new television reality show called “F*%king With The Porn-Stars” in which porn industry producers and directors will hold up score cards judging the prowess of forgotten minor celebrities as we watch them give real porn stars their best shot.”
That sounds twisted/funny/painful.
