Jon & Kate Have An Announcment To Make
Based on promos like the one featured in the AP video above, it looks like tonight’s episdoe of Jon & Kate Plus Eight will shed some light on the future (or a lack thereof) for Jon and Kate’s marriage and the show itself. I haven’t said much on this topic yet, but a lot of people are weighing in so I thought I would, too.
[Insert rebuke about the sanctity of marriage]
[Insert lecture about the seductiveness and destructiveness of fame]
[Insert reminder that money isn't everything]
[Insert sub-lecture about a culture in which paparazzi are rewarded for their loathsome vocation]
[Insert rant about how a Christian family should've known better]
[Insert admonition to the rest of us to learn from all of this]
[Insert posturing about how I saw this storm brewing back in Season One]
[Insert call for boycott of gossip sites and reality shows]
[Insert warning about putting people on pedestals]
[Insert slap on the wrist for all of us who've passed judgment on the family]
[Insert closing prayer for all involved and families everywhere]
Thanks for reading my assessment of and solution to the J&K+8 situation. Did I leave anything out?
It’ll be interesting to see what, if any, resolution tonight’s announcement brings. Either way, the show’s declining ratings (from 9.8 million for the season premiere to 2.9 million two weeks later) suggest that few are clamoring for the status quo.
