It's like a freakin' plague.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 is bad enough.  Now TLC is premiering Table for 12.  Two sets of twins, the ad for Table for 12 says.  Two sets of twins, and then sixtuplets.  I would venture to guess that most people with only one set of twins would consider that to be plenty challenging.  Two sets?  That's pushing it, but it could happen.  But to reproduce at all after popping out four kids is nothing but selfish and irresponsible.  Stop, stop, stop putting these people on display!  Putting people like this on television implies that it is in some way acceptable that they have bred like rabbits.  It isn't.

At least Jon & Kate have jobs to pay for all their kids. She does work part time as a nurse and he's in the computer industry. They also teach their kids to give back to the community. Yes I admit it, I occasionally watch their show...the kids are just too damn cute NOT to watch them.

As for Octomom...the doc that implanted all those babies in her should have his license taken away forfuckingever. I certainly hope no one gives HER, her own show. IMHO, she it completely mentally unbalanced. I fear for all 14 of her kids. She doesn't have a job, spent tons of money on plastic surgery (no it's not a gift of nature that she sorta resembles Angelina Jolie). I'm so sick of hear about her, the joy of living in the same state/area she lives in. The same doc who implanted her with the 8 embryos, implanted another single woman with 4. He should not be allowed to do that. I also think any woman who wants that many kids while still single is not playing with a full deck.

Props to Jon & Kate if they're teaching their children to behave as responsible members of the species. I don't find kids cute (you know me ;) ) so there is no reason beyond the whole "train wreck" aspect to make me watch it.

I understand implanting multiple embryos based on the theory that they won't all take, but a limit has got to be set. And that particular doc, needs to have his license suspended pending serious investigation.

Yes I know you don't find kids cute, but I still loves ya. ;)

I understand the implanting multiple embryos, but to implant 8 with the expectation that not all will make it, especially considering in Octomom's case, they all made it, is wrong.
