If she could sit down and explain to kids how this is going to screw up her young life, it might be worth it. What I expect is some venue that will garner her thousands of gifts and millions of kudos, at the expense of our female youth.
I’m with you, and don’t limit the shutdown to this misguided dingbat. The whole entertainment mania needs to go right now!
Entertainment tonight? Gone! Every other knock-off? Gone!
Let’s have some decent role models for a change.
“What I expect is some venue that will garner her thousands of gifts and millions of kudos, at the expense of our female youth.”
I agree, and will bet Nick will go the same way Disney went with her sister. Exploit her all the way until she crumbles, as long as they make a buck.
“If she could sit down and explain to kids how this is going to screw up her young life, it might be worth it.”
The sad fact may be, it’s the baby who will suffer, not this very young lady. She is in show-biz and has resources. Her situation in no way mirrors what the typical teenage mother faces. It would be misleading for her to become their role model,,,their worlds are so different!
I watched two or three minutes of that execrable piece of cultural driftwood known as TMZ.com a few weeks ago.
It makes ET seem like the Hunter-Brinkley Report.
Pessimist. But you're right.
I'm thinking that she'll show up on Oprah... "Here we have Jamie S. (name withheld to protect identity). She's a SINGLE MOOOO-oooom!!! from the backwoods of Louisiana. She's making it on her own after a difficult teenage pregnancy. Let's GIVE IT UP FOR HER!!!!" Woo-HOO!!
Then the two of them can sit on the couch and have a nice cry together. "It's just...so....so...HARD being a Mom, Oprah.... Especially when it's not even my fault!"
Then Oprah can give her a car, hook her up with a book deal, and everyone goes away happy.
Watch and see.
I agree with your post. This may open a few teen eyes as to what usually happens when you drop trou for your homie.
I don’t think she needs to be seen on TV. The best thing to discourage teen pregnancy is to fire her, and have the other kids not see her face around.
I don’t even watch these shows. I don’t even watch much TV. Life’s simply too short and these reality shows might be reality in blue states, but not in my world.
