Jon and Kate Plus Hate!
After Britney Spears, Michele Obama, the recession, and anything advertised for "just $19.95, but if you call now we'll double your order," allow me to add Jon and Kate Plus 8 to the list of things I'm sick and tired of hearing about.
Is he cheating on her, how much plastic surgery has she had, why did they spend their 10th Anniversary apart..? Blah, blah, blah... Enough already! Who cares? I wouldn't even bother giving this pseudo-reality silliness air time here if it wasn't for the latest outrage by what Brother D-Day calls "The Orange County Osbournes." Yup, that's right, the gang from OCC showed up to give the first "octomom" a ride on the back of Paul Sr.'s bike. Suggesting this silly photo-op in capri pants and peep-toes makes Kate Gosselin a "biker chick" brings about an immediate **gag** reflex.
This is an insult to all the real biker chicks out there who put their trust in their man and ride on back all the time. It's also uncomplimentary to the growing number of women who've overcome the stereotypes and had the brass to ride up front. Am I over-reacting? Maybe. Obviously TLC is using all at their disposal to boost the ratings of both shows because that's the television business. At least when OCC visited Sarah Palin, even though her known "outdoorsy" background would have made it more believable, the Governor had enough class not to lower herself to doing an unconvincing trip around the block on the back of a bike in a silly attempt to convince people that she's "cool."
Watch the video. Tell us all what YOU think about it. Is Kate Gosselin a biker chick? I think not.
