"Jon & Kate Plus 8 on Hiatus After Boring Divorce Announcement
LA Times ^ | June 23, 2009 | Elizabeth Snead

"Jon & Kate Plus 8" will be on hiatus until August, the L.A. Times has just reported.

Thank God!

Was anyone else bored to tears watching the repetitive and monotonous statements about their divorce made by Jon and Kate Gosselin on last night's show?

Kate tried to come off as being sad, vulnerable, suffering, but still strong, and Jon pretended that he was finally doing the manly thing by standing up to his harpy wife.

Both of them kept repeating how much they were thinking about their kids, even divorcing for their kids.

Really?

Because if they had been thinking about their kids' well-being, couldn't they have been in couples therapy for the last year, working out these relationship issues so it didn't have to come to this?

Those poor little kids.

They probably wear bibs b/c Kate is an o.c. neat freak. She threw a fit when she caught them chewing gum.

Aren't you in my mafia?

I agree with your characterization. I wouldn't take any of the crap that Kate dishes out -- she's bad news. Of course, Jon is immature. I think he feels that between Kate, and the kids, and the TV show, he lost anything like the life he wanted to have. But rather than ditch the TV show, get couples therapy, and simply raise his family, he decided to go out and get a motorcycle. Yeah. That'll help.

I feel bad for the kids. I think they're going to be messed up.

I saw parts of that. I saw that man-hater/ball-buster talking like::

“We have made a decision for peace. We found peace and reached a fork in the road to bring peace. We traveled down good memories and hope we can find happiness at this fork of memories peace.”

I said “What? Who talks like that?”

John said..... “I am sick and tired of her sh**. I am tired of being her 9th child. I am finally standing on my own two feet. To hell with her”

Well, he didn’t say exactly that, but in so many words. Nevertheless... I stood up in applause when he said it.

so whats that child support payment going to look like OUCH!!!!!.

Ha! If anything, he should get huge manimony. She is the income stream for the family. No one cares about Jon. He doesn't attract thousands at apperances, or command huge fees for appearing. She does.

Any ‘man’ named ‘Jon’ simply cannot ‘man the hell up’ [with all due respect to your intended sentiments - it isn’t in the metrosexual psyche]

My kids know they will get a swat if they act up.

Who?

Jon & Kate are the parents who saw their kids as a meal ticket and so they turn their kids into props.

I was not bored by it at all. When that show's title shows across the bottom of my screen I press the button again. I have my own family. I have no interest in the story of two parents who have sold theirs.

Here is a local story from September when she was in town. Read it and weep. Her followers are nuts.

Mother of a big family attracts a big following

Ugghhh, my wife watches that show. A year ago I said I can't wait for it to be Jon minus 9. His wife is a colossal emasculating B*(&^%.

That being said, very uncool for him to move several states away from his kids. A few towns, sure. But Trump Towers in NYC? Very uncool.
