Jon and Kate /2: What does Charlottesville think?

This is totally not relevant local news, but ABC16 begs to differ. They went out and interviewed people in town to find out their reaction to Jon and Kate Gosselin’s recent divorce announcement. Bla bla bla. Here is the skinny…they are filing for divorce while continue to produce/air new episodes which supposedly give them $75k per episode. With 8 kids to feed and lawyers about to tear out each others throats now is about bringing in as much cash as possible, even if it means airing your dirty laundry. While taking a moral high ground might make you feel all warm and gushy inside, unfortunately it doesn’t pay the bills. On the flip side maybe we will all know what a divorce really is like…cause this is not any of that made for reality TV crap…oh wait

    The writers of the show are absolutely brilliant. Who saw this divorce twist coming? Eat your heart out Tina Fey.

    Ok. I went out and considered things. This post is sooo bad, so very very bad, that it calls for an emergency link dump. I do this out of the kindness of my heart, just so lurkers and regulars can garner something, anything from this thread. Just remember, in the future, it is better to have no new topic for days on end than to reach this far down to fill space. So without further ado…

      Have you seen the movie Suicide Club? It’s probably one of the more confusing/disturbing movies I’ve seen…mostly because I can’t figure out what the hell is going on. And I’ve had sufficient exposure to Miike…anyone have any thoughts on the scene in the chicken house? Or the real meaning of the song “Mail Me”?

        Haha. I still can’t figure out if I loved it or hated it. My best friend from high school made me a CD with the “Mail Me” and “Dead is a Shine All Night Long” songs and they both creep me out when I hear them.

      i used to work with dylan baker & his wife, i think right after happiness came out. he said he had difficulty picking up his kids at school after that bc the parents had problems with the concept of his being an actor not a child molester.

      interesting that requiem for a dream & american psycho are said to be disturbing books & not movies. and i’d still list clockwork orange on both lists. did you know “singing in the rain” was a spur of the moment decision bc they wanted the starguy (sorry don’t remember his name–had a bottle of pink wine tonight) to sing a song & the only one whose words he knew was singing in the rain? i used to teach the book & movie. now i am thoroughly sick of it.

          I was at the grocery store the other day and that chick with the horrific haircut on that heinous show was in a bikini in some fuckstick magazine there at checkout. She is vile. I’m not one of those guys that thinks women should be sticks, but she is nasty…. I actually like a girl that My stupid show that I like to watch is on Bravo and called something like The Millionaire Matchmaker. It’s a show so bad it’s in fact good. The guys on that show are such douchebags that it makes me never ever want to go to LA EVER>

          And Vicodin? You should examine all options before marrying a guy that watches Jon and Kate plus Eight. Dear God. Also make sure you don’t drink too much Vino with all those pills, the tylanol in em will rot your vagina and will kill you!
