Coincidence

I can’t help it, I have to contribute to the collapse of human civilization. I am indulging in some voyeurism, celebrity obsession, and good ole’ gossip. Usually, I don’t care about human freak stories and those aiming for Guinness records but I can’t escape the story of the Los Angeles chick who is single, unemployed, and just gave birth to 8 children for a total of 14. News magazines and websites have to quit talking about her.

What strikes me as odd is the interesting physical resemblance between her and our generation’s non-virgin Mother Teresa, also known as Angelina Jolie. Others have pointed to it after seeing her brief interview. Is this a coincidence? Have I been sucked so deep into the vapid vortex of celebrity gazing that I’m seeing breeding chicks cloned in real-time?

I have a theory. The octuplets’ mother started out with a baby fetish. Then, when she saw the world fawning over Jolie’s growing brood, sighing absently at the muscled mother earth, she decided she wanted some of that attention. Enter crazy fertility specialist and plastic surgeon, and she’s just beat her idol by 8 kids in one shot.

Whaddya fink?

Although unscientific, your theory is more close to the truth about this chick than “she’s just obsessed” with having children b.s. the media feeding on. I think an electrician ought to be called in to fix her screwed up brain wires…really.

Om, the woman has behaved like someone with a serious screw-up. The backlash is probably dimming her chances for large endorsement and television deals. And that doctor should have his license revoked.

I’m afraid, Aya, this chick will still get those large endorsement and her own program on TLC…still more, you’re favorite daytime television host, the queen bee Oprah, will be “fascinated” to have this untalented women on her ‘prestigious’ program! Oh the absurdity, Aya!

I can’t believe you’re joining the hype about this woman Aya! Shame shame

Anywho, seriously speaking, the woman is a tad bit obsessed with kids, but who cares? They’re legitimately hers even though the doctor could have exercised more restraint and maturity here, it isn’t his responsibility.

Also, the whole fascination with Jolie?!!! I happened to flick the channel on Sunday and there were discussing her facial features speculating whether she’s had plastic surgery! OMG! I obviously flicked to another – who cares? She happens not to have, but what if she did?

I’m in a very feisty mood today, sorry if it shows here.

On that note, how’re you hun? Are we going to see a brood of lil’ Ayas soon?

Om, LOL! Oprah is still on my shitlist I hope she has her on at some point, those 2 deserve each other.

AMTAF, girl, what are you on and can I have some, please? I couldn’t beat them, hon, so I did my part in polluting the public sphere.

That doctor’s ethics are questionable at best, and he ignored the medical risks to both mom and babies of implanting 6 embryos. I hope the California Medical Board does something to him.

Me? A brood?! Oh, dear. My fertile 20s are behind me now, thank God! When Mr. Man shows, it may be 1 or 2.

What about you? Methinks you are closer to the brood than I am now
