Your Turn: Milking It!

Obligatory: It’s a vagina, not a clown car.
2nd Obligatory: she could have just married a Duggar!

5 years from now …
Mom to the kids … “Are you out of your mind … no, you cannot invite your friends over!!!”

“Artificial Dissemination” or
“With Eight You Get PR Roll” or
…”Nonanonymom”?

Please stop giving this horrible mentally ill woman the attention she so desperately craves. She and “Jon and Kate” and the Duggars are symptomatic of a deeply unhealthy mania in our society. I can’t get into dissecting it right now, it’s too complex, but we need to stop encouraging it.

I don’t think the table is a custom piece. I’ve seen similar tables in daycares and nursery schools. It’s a standard design to allow one caregiver to be in arms-reach of several children.

I liked how you phrased that, Thomas. Please remember that we are providing her, and the other “vagina clown car” freak shows, with that ecological niche. We pay for it by consuming entertainment based on their antics. It’s sort of like giving money to the Dharavi beggar mafias to maim children.
Ms. Suleyman actually has 14 children; she had 6 via in vitro previous to becoming Octomom. I think the Gosselins have 10 (they also had other children before the octuplets), and the Duggars have 18, maybe with a grandkid or two on the way (I don’t follow it). But at any rate that’s at least 40+ lives down the drain for this nonsense.
And believe me, these are lives down the drain; leaving the physical challenges aside, these kids will face a lot of emotional and psychological damage.
Fundamentalist Christianity drives a lot of this; they have some kind of extreme need to confirm the life choices of these families in an effort to push their “pro-life” agenda. Abortion is always wrong, even destruction of frozen zygotes is wrong, so Xtian fundies cannot admit that families like this are a tragic and horrible mistake. So in this twisted way, they reward and celebrate them.
And other attention-craving,disturbed personality types want to climb on the bandwagon. Gah.
There oughta be a law, but I understand why there can’t be.

I kind of doubt, in all likelihood, that the flicker of recognition inflicted itself upon her for very long.

I guess I must have cursed too much in my second comment, because it got lost in the intertubes somewhere.
The essence of what I wanted to say was, I came back to this a day or two later, and I saw it with entirely different eyes. Sure, Mom is an embodiment of something that we as a society find repulsive. But in the grand scheme of things, who cares about her?
When I came back to this, I looked at the kids. And most of them actually look … pretty happy. Sure, there is the one that’s actively crying, but the rest of them are engaged in something else. As long as their shockingly irresponsible mother continues to draw enough sympathy cash to feed them properly, it might turn out OK for them.
I bet that between them they come up with their own private language. They’ll still learn english, but they’ll also learn to communicate with each other in ways that nobody else can understand.
