Get Ready For Octomom


For the next two to three weeks I think it is going to be all Octomom all the time in the tabloids. FOX is going to air a two hour special on Octomom later this month and so I am sure the publicity machine will be in full force. They are promising some kind of never seen footage. What I think happened is someone finally bought the footage of her giving birth and all the other footage she was shooting in anticipation of becoming famous.

I am a little surprised at how calmly FOX is promoting this. I would have thought they would have combined it with one of their patented reality shows like When Animals Attack or Police Chases Or Freak Show Men And The Women Who Love Them.

Instead what we have is "an intimate look inside Nadya Suleman's life allowing viewers to witness the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14".

Uh huh. I don't really have any sympathy for her at all. None. However, I will say that I am much more likely to watch her show than I am to ever watch another Jon & Kate episode. And when I say watch Octomom's show I mean DVR it because I guarantee you I will only be able to take it in ten minute doses. On a positive note I will say that except for wanting fame to such an extent that she had 8 kids she now regrets having, at least she appears to be home with them most of the time. I don't know if she is just ordering things online and surfing for porn on the internet, while nannies take care of the kids, but she is home and is not out all the time like some other reality parents.
