Ethics / TV Jon & Kate Plus 8, Divided by Dehydration

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 10:37 AM

I've gotten a poop ton of questions lately regarding the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8—in particular, "What is Kate's freaking problem??" In short, Kate is a businesswoman; her kids are the commodity. And her husband is a commodity, too, in that it's wildly entertaining to watch her emasculate him on a weekly basis. HOWEVER! In order for these commodities to remain viable, Kate has to watch the bottom line. For example, giving kids water. DUDE… WATER'S EXPENSIVE. So don't be too hard on Kate after seeing her deny her crying dehydrated child water, because… c'mon! The interview was about to start!

Sooo...Turns out she's kinda awful, huh? I'm suspecting that the site 'nohate4kate' is either ironically titled or isn't doing a very good job.

Kate Gosselin is hatable, self-absorbed, greedy, condescending, and arrogant enough to think the public wants to listen to her drivel. Besides her shocking disregard for her child's comfort, what appalls me is that the kids obviously don't want to be there. They look like perfectly matched, miserable circus animals behaving so the animal trainer won't crack the whip. Can you imagine denying ANY child water, let alone your own?
