Obviously, I’m not a reality show watcher. At least, I hope it’s obvious. But you can’t escape the media madness about “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ — the original octoparents.
Now the news has hit that they’re getting divorced. Big surprise.
Actor Ryan Reynolds, though, has an idea to save the franchise:
“I wanna see ‘Jon & Kate Plus Eight: The Musical,’” he says. “Jon versus Kate. I wanna see four kids on one side and for kids on the other, snapping menacingly to music as they walk toward one another.”
Not bad, Mr. Reynolds. My own idea is to tune in next season when both Jon and Kate have met new significant others. We can call it “Jon and Kate Plus 8 Plus 2.”
Those poor kids…being pimped out, essentially, by two vapid twerps who were supposed to be parents.
