I'm rather torn between not wanting to support octomom and my sense of morbid curiousity! will my curiousity get the better of me??

how do you feel about it?

Well, if you think about it, by watching her hour long show, you could erase the need to watch Maury (you are not the father) Povich and Jerry Springer. You wouldn't need to worry about how her divorce is 'affecting her children' (ie: John & Kate), and it would give everyone something new to bitch about besides cereal in bottles and breastfeeding your 40 year old child........ (it's sarcasm, folks...don't get all snippy)

That being said.....no, I won't be watching. I'd so much rather watch Bret Michaels and his quest for plastic love with women manufactured in 'Silicon' Valley who got their make up tips from Tammy Faye Bakker and the aftermath of said drunken plastic girls as they bitch their way through Charm School.

If I need to see someone's life palyed out as a televised mess, I'd rather watch the 'reality' shows that don't have children involved.

I don't really bother with the other similar shows like John n Kate plus 8. I might watch it if there's nothing else on TV at that moment. I can't see myself getting that into it though.

I would probably watch it once, to satisfy my curiosity. But to be honest, I don't think she should have a show at all. I think it's disgusting, the thought of her making tons of money because she did something so irresponsible...and the rest of us have to do things "by the book" and WE don't get shows or rewards for it. Personally, I think she should be ashamed of herself, not only for having so many kids without the means to support them ON PURPOSE, but also for trying to make a buck (and probably a very pretty buck) at the same time. Disgusting.

Quoting Mary:

Yeah, it is kind of like driving by a car accident, isn't it??


LOL Mary you stole my line!! Or the roadkill on the side of the road - it's horrid and you know you shouldn't look but you just can't help it!! I'd have to check it out but I hate the idea that she's in any way profiting from those poor children :(



It's pretty clear she's off-her-chops so I think a large portion of the blame for all this has to fall on the fertility doctor who treated her.

I would say i wont... and definitely i wouldn't "follow it"- But i think eventually my curiosity would get the best of me and i would watch and episode or two. I am a drama lover... and i watch billions of episodes of wife swap too!

But no, I will NOT watch that freak show of a women and those poor, poor children. I still don't understand how Social Services could let her take those babies home. What the hell is wrong with this country??? Not much of a reality show kind of person to begin with, but I'm afraid that if I tuned into that, I would blow up m TV in a fit of rage, and she's just not worth that!!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! This women is a disgrace and those children should be taken away from her immediately. I'm so disappointed that someone actually is going to put this nut job on tv.
