[farmboy]

is anybody else's TV plastered with this. Ed mcmahons death and the jon and kate + 8 divorce.... 

 

[OqRanch]

TV & radio!

 

[simtal]

didn't know that ed died.  But to Jon and Kate, I hope they are ashamed of themselves.  Exploiting the kids like that.  Especially to Jon, I mean he basically said that he is excited for a free pass to raise hell.  What a tool.

 

[OqRanch]

Yea, he gets a free pass & she's stuck with a traveling circus.

 

[farmboy]

well isn't that close enough to being an octomom

 

[herefordfootball]

Yeah, we're seeing it too. But Jon and Kate, for cripes sake, I've seen some stupid stuff on TV but this one makes the top three easy. IDIOTS. Think of what the kids are going through.

Ed Mcmahon's death today is a true sad event. He is a legend in our times from his association with Johnny Carson and the Tonight show, as well as many years as the MC on Starsearch. Ed McMahon was a class act, whenever you saw him on TV, whether it was doing comedy with Johnny, his years introducing many future stars on Starsearch or his many charity events such as Jerry Lewis's telethons, or his promotion of many products in commercials on TV. He will be missed!

I hate To even mention this other event of the day in the same thread.The announcement of John and Kate's pending divorce is, in my opinion, almost a sleezy event. Does anyone else feel that the way they used this divorce announcement to pump up their TV ratings, as being almost sleezy and at least very poor taste? It seems to me that no one has even considered what the consequences of this will have on the 8 kids. Divorce is unfortunately a fairly common event these days. But to go through it in front of millions of people watching,  on their TVs seems so wrong to me. This should be a fairly private matter, not something to be discussed openly by people who don't know this family and will never meet them.This is a couple that have little class and their only claim to fame is that they had 8 kids thanks to some fertility drugs. To me, this is going to have some major affects on these kids. Divorce is hard enough on kids when it is done privately. This one in plain view of anyone who wishes to watch, will have some devastating and long term affects that I think will not be good. Unfortunately, this sadly tells a tale of what is happening in our society today. The boundaries of right and wrong get stretched and grayer every year. Reality TV is not helping us define these boundaries unfortunately... most of it is classless, mind mush that picks aways at public decency.

I'm sorry to have to think about this event in the same period of time as Ed McMahon's death. Ed had a good life and I am sad to see him go. May he rest in peace. To John and Kate, all I can say is I hope you leave soon, and I hope we have all forgotten who you are in short order. I wish the best for your kids... for you... well you will get what you deserve.

I agree JIT. The fact that Jon and Kate make it on tv and is announced on the news right after or before the announcement of Ed Mcmahons death is a true insult.  What I have to say to Jon and Kate "If you weren't going to a certain place before, you're going first class now!"  (thumbsup) I really dislike people that use their unfortunate events to get publicity and make money and especially while at the expense of their kids. Pathetic.

Well its not plastered on my TV because cousins are here from NY for the week so right now BLUE CLUES is on !! ;D

But I did see there announcement on the MSN home page, but have heard the rumors now for months. I really don't care, but I wished that they hadn't have done the whole religious bit - and now divorce. They were on the 700 Club talking about how God changed their lives, wrote about about his involvement in their lives, etc etc. I think that does more harm than good.

I am a little too young to know anything about Ed McMahon, but if JIT says its a sad lost I'll take his word for it.

I hope therapy for the children is something else Kate can get for free.  Those kids are going to need it.

Ditto!  Jon was acting like such a pig, and barely showed any emotion.  Someone said...was that Jon with those diamond earings and skull t-shirt?  He definately looked like he was having a mid-life chrisis at age 31.  Apparently Jon has been spotted looking at high-rise condos/appartments in one of the Trump buildings in New York.  Sounds like he is really going all out with this.  Sounds like he is just planning on "getting the hell outta there", thats forsure!

 

[kanshow]

Did anyone see Jon on American Chopper?  I thought he acted like a complete ... male donkey .. there too. 

 

[OqRanch]

Yea, I saw it & it didnt impress me.

 

[M-n-M Cattle Company]

What happened on American Chopper? Sorry for my ignorance.  ???

 

[kimbaljd]

I heard on the News that the Jon & Kate has completely stopped production of the show. Maybe they are finally considering what it is going to do to these kids.

 

[jlingle]

Holy cow..... for once I feel privileged to have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE WHO YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!  I dont know who Jon and Kate are, nor do I care to know.  Man, that feels good. (clapping)

 

[cattleking]

John sucks  (lol)

he is negative as BLEEP shoot if he hates the publicity then why have a show like that ya know...
