Yeah. This at the Punjab-Pakistan border in Amritsar. There is a daily opening of the gate as a ceremonial thing…

Nah, they come up with them as they go- and the eldest son just got his wife pregnant, so it’s going to start all over again.

…Wasn’t the father (I think his name’s Jim Bob) a senator of Arkansas or something? I was channel surfing and saw a commercial for the Dugger kids snowboarding on campaign signs.

We could just nuke both these silly countries, and eliminate the presence of “dance contempt” from our world. Added plus, more parking in the pacific rim.

Hey, I have no doubt that if cameras followed me around all the time they wouldn’t catch the most flattering sides of me. It also bears remembering that “reality” shows do a hell of a lot of editing to create tension and drama to make it watchable. Was she a b*tch? Probably. Was she like this when he married her? Again, probably. Did he do passive aggressive sh*t off camera to get to her? Maybe. Is it any excuse to cheat? Hell no.

Correlation does not imply causation, or some such nonsense.
-
Look, every man (or woman) has reasons for cheating…..its’ VERY rarely just because they’re a scumbag. HOWEVER, man or woman, you should nut up and end it before you cheat, not because you cheat. It’s not fair to anyone involved if you cheat first and ask questions later.

I got conned into watching a programme about the Duggers recently. Because it was on an Irish tv channel, I thought it was going to be an objective look at how their religious beliefs are at the back of the life decisions they’ve made, but it was just a puff-piece for them. That’s an hour of my life I won’t be getting back. . .

I do have to ask though: will they stop having kids once they run out of names beginning with J?

Sadly enough, I know someone who watches Jon and Kate. She also watches the Duggers (all 93 of them, all with the first name starting with the letter J), and Little People, Big World, and that new show about the dwarf couple. The woman I know who watches all of these shows is, herself, a dwarf. She has not been on television exploiting herself though.

“God, another utter twit.

It’s ‘Jon and Kate’ not ‘John and Kate’.”

It’s so sad and pathetic that you know that and felt the need to correct me. Forgive my willful ignorance for I care not.

Then go to couple’s counseling or hey, maybe even divorce if it’s that bad. He was riding a gravy train and didn’t want it to stop. Don’t give me that “she’s a b*tch so he can cheat” bullsh*t.

The problem is – the episode they announced their divorce is their highest rated. It’s hard to say no one cares when they had something like 20 or 30 million people tuned in to watch this “special announcement”, despite the fact that the meat of the announcement was pretty easily inferred.

Dude, I’m afraid! That hat looks lethal! Lol.
I think it’s a height thing. Making yourself look as large/tall as possible is a pretty primal tactic for battles in any species.
And as pointed out above me, most males of any species are the more decorated ones, not the females.

Neither of them should ever have been on TV, frankly. I think being in the spotlight changed them, and not for the better. I’m not about to endorse him cheating on her, but I am gonna say straight out they’re both tools, and deserve whatever nastiness happens to them. I feel bad for their kids though. Exploited by mom and dad and now *8* of them are gonna have to deal with their parents being divorced. What a mess.

No, but I think that’s the whole point of the joke. The media apparently cares and they think everyone else cares – if everyone REALLY cared the lol wouldn’t work, IMO.

Considering Kate is a total b*tch, it’s hard to blame the guy for wanting something on the side. Not that I agree with cheating, but I wouldn’t want to have to live with someone who was constantly humiliating me for the amusement of a national television audience.

Well, they had twins and then they had sextuplets, so now they have 8 kids. The whole show was built on the premise that they are this really great loving family and then the guy was caught cheating with some young thing on the side that didn’t mind his obvious hairplugs. Big sh*tstorm ensued.

Ok, did that and it was actually pretty interesting. It reminds me a lot of the Maori Haka which is a dance that’s supposed to intimidate the opponent. Looks damn scary if done by the right people..

So these were just ‘average’ people that managed to get on TV? (I’m thinking that it’s probably a good thing this one never made it to Australia..)

Two assholes who happened to become famous for having somewhere in the vicinity of 274 children, then got a reality show to make sure to maximize exploitation of said family, and then the shit hit the fan when everyone found out what assholes they really are, and they started ACTING like celebrities and not just two idiots who got a TV show and now they’re getting divorced.
That’s my run-on sentence about Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Somehow, the media seems to think that the ability to have most of a baseball team in your womb at once is reason enough to put you all over TV and magazines and stuff. There was no reason for those assholes to be on TV at all, and their kids are paying the price for it unfortunately.

It is embarrassing, I know. But one can hardly read the news without being bombarded by that nonsense.

And no, I don’t watch it. I don’t watch TV at all. But that doesn’t mean I live in a cave with no news.

yep, a friend who has seen it in person tells me it attracts jingoistic tourists on both sides. They watch the routine and hurl abuses at the other country. It just feeds hate. When the two countries split, the border was crossed by millions of displaced, both alive and dead. It deserves a peace memorial. This absurd ceremony deserves the ridicule it gets on PunditKitchen.
