Would that this were true.
We need to stop watching crap like this if we want it to end!
yeah, but sadly, these shows cater to the idiots of the world who cant tell the difference from what is crap, and what isnt.
Paul Anka: To stop those monsters 1-2-3,
Here’s a fresh new way that’s trouble-free,
It’s got Paul Anka’s guarantee…
Lisa: Guarantee void in Tennessee.
Both: Just don’t look! Just don’t look!
Just don’t look! Just don’t look!
Just don’t look! Just don’t look!
I was about to say that.
Yeah.. 5 years isn’t exactly 15 minutes.
Jon Plus four and Kate Plus Four.
nah its “kate + 8 + childsupport + alimony” and “John + flee to Mexico”
Ouch… That’s rough…
However they have evidence now that Kate was hitting one of the girls. So maybe it’ll be Kate fleeing to Mexico.
Hitting? She *spanked* one of them, if I remember correctly. That’s not exactly something to be ashamed of. Spanking certainly works better (in most cases) than strictly time-outs and such.
Today’s media will always make it look like spanking equals beating/hitting, so she’ll hear about it either way.
Their 15 minutes of fame was up a loooooooooooooooooong time ago!
y r people making a joke abt this? its no joke. this is an american family getting divorced, and thats nothing to laugh about. the people who are making rude comments have never seen the negative affects of divorce. amcerica is such a sad country, and the people are even sadder
Its not that, its that these people were nothing more than attention whores.
If me and my wife had 8 kids, the last thing we would be doing is throwing us out on camera.
Oh, get over it. I highly doubt they’ll be crying in the corner over this.
People make fun of a LOT of negetive things celebrities do. It’s called COMEDY. Lighten up.
Never seen the negative affects of divorce? My parents have been divorced since I was three. It’s very confusing, going back and forth between my mum’s, dad’s, and grandparents houses every day. So don’t talk to me about divorce.
There seems to be a growing trend of, if they get married at all, people are divorced with infants and toddlers. Does anyone really get to know their mate anymore before tying the knot and making offspring? I know people that know each other six months, get married, instantly have kids, and then get divorced with the excuse of “well, we didn’t really know each other”, and then kids end up like you, being stuck going between parents all the time,which sucks. I’d never do that to my kid.
Well, I got married after knowing my mate for about six months total, and had kids a couple years later… and we’re still together nearly 17 years (next month) later. However… I totally agree with this. I got lucky, and I know it. Plus, I’d never even _thought_ I was in love before, whereas most girls I knew/women I know tend to fall in and out of ‘love’ every month or so. I think part of the problem is that being in love is so socially valued that people want to believe that they have it, whether they do or not, and thus make stupid mistakes.
On the other hand, I firmly believe that a divorce is less harmful to the children than seeing both parents miserable, and certainly less harmful than seeing one parent emotionally abused, so I can’t really say I’m against divorce, either, or that I’d never do it to my kid if I found myself in that situation. People can change, and sometimes you find years later that the person you loved changed into a monster. I’ve done too much counseling of abused women not to believe that can happen.
I honestly don’t plan on getting married any time soon. And I know I’m not having kids if I’ve only known my husband for six months. But my parents got married because of me. I was at their wedding. My mum got pregnant and gave birth to me when she was nineteen. My mum and dad got married when my mum was 20. And, I love my mum, but, honestly, there are some people who are just born to be mothers, some who aren’t perfect for it, but are good nonetheless, and then there’s my mother. She has a short temper, loves animals more than people, and never finished high school. My dad is perfect, though. He’s loving, not too over-protective, has a good job, and has another son [my half-brother] and a step-son [my step-brother, obviously]. He is a great father, he and my mother just had their many, many differences. I don’t blame them for anything, and I don’t hate my life, but I know it would be a lot easier if I had two parents who lived together.
My parents were divorced when I was young also. Like many fathers, my Dad couldn’t “handle” the loss of his family. As far as your Mom is concerned, please remember that she didn’t get the chance or time when she was young to get a career going. She had you to take care of. Maybe you resent her because she doesn’t have the good job that your Dad has, but she had a liability in the work-force…sorry it say you were it. I saw my mother struggle to work and maintain credibility, but luckily she had older children who could look after the younger children while she was at work. Your Dad isn’t “perfect” and neither is your Mom. It took me many years to get over my idealization of my Dad and dreaming of the great life I would have had if my parents stayed together. It’s common to do this. As a mother now, I know that I was unfair toward my mother and I gave my father more credit than her deserved.
Safe to say the negative effects of forcing your 8 kids to be on some STUPID F*&KING TV SHOW aimed at people with IQs in the low 60s is a HELL of a lot worse than the “damage” from a divorce.
Also safe to say you’re one of the shows target audience.
Both “parents” and everyone involved in making the show should be in jail for child abuse and everyone who actually watched it should be sterilized.
F*#king Amen!
If these people seriously cared about anything other than being attention whores, they would have quit the show (or, better yet, not decided to do the wretched thing in the first place) and focused on working to save their marriage. Now they will likely lose both. The only ones that I feel sorry for are the kids, who are victims of exploitation at the hands of their own parents and everyone involved with making the show. Disgusting.
so true!
Just because you leave a spouse does not mean you are leaving your family. The parents are splitting up with each other. That doesn’t mean they are leaving their children. Why is that so difficult to understand.
Because when you move away from your children , they feel abandoned.
Even if you see them every other weekend.
You’re not there for them on a day-to-day basis (=parenting).
You’re there to (maybe)buy things, and make yourself feel better (you left).
Why can’t you see that?
I see the overly-emotional, stressed out kids coming into the nurse’s office with way too many tummy aches/headaches, etc.
There are lots of emotional problems caused by kids feeling insecure about the foundation of their lives.
*but yes, if there is any abuse, gtfo. It’s EVEN MORE damaging.
For the most part I agree with you, but…
I think if I suddenly had eight kids it’d be pretty darned hard to turn down $75K per episode. I just have _two_, and sometimes the grocery bill for feeding my teenage son makes me wince. If I had eight to worry about formula, clothes, toys, school, and hopefully, eventually college for, I’m not sure I could, in good conscience, turn down that money. Making sure they had what they needed would outweigh my pride, and I think that sufficiently good parenting (I never watched the show, and have no idea whether these folks were capable of or trying to provide it) could balance out the negatives of being in the public eye.
Helps us out here: how does one suddenly have 8 kids?
I imagine fertility treatments (hormone treatments, in vitro, and the like) have produced quite a few multiple births; sextuplets aren’t very common, but I believe that’s what happened, here. This was in addition to the firstborn set of twins.
They had a set of twins, and were hoping for just one more kid. They knew there was a risk, but since they had had a low number before (the twins), chances were it would be another small set (one or two)
Instead, they ended up with sextuplets.
You’d have to consult Nadya Suleman for that.
Life. You needs one.
Right because the USA is the only place where couples get divorced, is it?
And America isn’t a country.
So you just all around fail.
um, the f*ck is it, then?
A continent?
NORTH America is a continent. South America is a continent.
America is a nearly synonymous euphemism for the United States of AMERICA. Often used by citizens of those United States.
I think Squiggly FAILS.
On 2nd thought, “euphemism” was a poor choice of words . . . it’s just the abbreviated version, mm’kay?
*high five*
The world according to a frightening amount of US citizens:
America=USA
Europe=UK
Asia=China
Everywhere else=Terrorists
and don’t forget the inbred cretins who can’t even find “america” on the map.
Could that be because “America” isn’t actually the name of a continent and thus isn’t “on the map” in the sense you mean? There is North America, the continent including the USA, and South America. The word “America” is commonly used to refer to the US because, well, the whole name of the country is United States of America, so it’s shortened to America in the vernacular. Using the term America to refer to the USA is no stupider than using “Soviet Union” to refer to the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, back in the bad old days of the Cold War).
I think you should stop being pedantic, but if you’re going to be pedantic, at least be accurate.
it was in reference to several things. america was written in quotes because that’s how the united states of america was being referred to. i, of course, meant that they couldn’t find the US of A on the map. but simply wrote “america” because most of the people who can’t find it on the map are also the people who seem to believe that the country is called “america”.
i’ll stop being pedantic when you learn reading comprehension.
You don’t mean reading comprehension. You mean psychic ability. When you write that someone can’t find quote, America, end quote on a map, you are saying that they they literally cannot find the word America on the map. That is the most common and appropriate use of quotation marks. Irony (which, by the way, isn’t particularly well-communicated via this format) is a secondary use.
Normally I don’t get all snarky on these silly sites, but when you’re calling other people “inbred cretins,” it seems to me you should be careful to dot your Is and cross your Ts.
then it is a good thing not all of us are like that, isn’t it? Good thing there are a lot of us that are actually quite literate and tolerate other cultures since we’ve lived overseas or have friends of that religion, or *gasp* actually read in our spare time.
Sorry, just felt a little incensed by your broad brush. ^^ But yea, I have a friend who actually thought that America was the USA, I had to remind him it was a continent. And that there are two.
“America” IS the United States of America . . . when referring to a one *continent* or the other, I’m sure one must specify “North” or “South”.
When people say “America”, they’re referring to the country, not the continent.
Sheeesh.
WINNNNN!!!
What do you call people who live in the USA?
Americans.
No one calls people who live in Canada or Mexico “americans”.
Darned right! I got that lesson as a child from my mom – when I came home having proudly learned that we lived on the North American continent, I informed her that we were North Americans. She set me down and explained that we lived on North America, but that we were specifically Canadians, and that I should never forget it. Never have
you say ppl are making a joke about jon and kate, well it is sad that an american family is getting divorced but ever wonder about the negative effects of their tv show on their kids. and ever think that just maybe they are getting divorced in large part because of the effects of this show on their lives. AMERICA is not a sad country, some of the ppl are but that is not AMERICA’S fault. let me guess, you don’t live in America, but if you do, shame on you for blaming AMERICA and not the small percentage of ppl that don’t live their lives with family values. there are a lot of us in AMERICA that do live with family values and stay married and work thru the hard times!
When people blame the country for the behavior, what they’re actually blaming is the society or social climate that makes the behavior ‘acceptable’. Yes, there are good people in the US. There are people with strong ethics, good family values, and well-aligned priorities. But as a _culture_ we fail, because our culture does make this sort of thing — both the divorce and the media circus around those poor kids, acceptable.
A lot of stress did come from the paparazzi stalking them and random SOBs chewing them out ON THE STREET because they didn’t agree with Jon and Kate’s practices.
Paparazzi it does come with the territory, but it is sad how much it can tear people apart.
So what makes this any more sacred than the jabs at eating disorders, substance abuse issues and other miscellaneous ills that I see on here. Is it sad that they are getting a divorce? Yes. Do I feel bad for those kids knowing that after they’ve gotten sold out like this, they’re gonna go through hell in the next while? Of course. But guess what? This site is for having a little fun with these things. Don’t like? Don’t read.
And before I hear the “If you haven’t lived through a divorce, you wouldn’t understand,” my parents divorced. I know.
Furthermore, it’s not a jab at the divorce. It’s a jab at the fact that they sold their kids and family life out for some attention, and some cash. To me, that makes you fair game.
because that’s what people on this site DO!
Care troll is caring. Seriously, jokes are being made about this because its funny to watch two people that have thrown themselves into the limelight getting ousted so roughly. It’s like the guy that shows up at a bar drunk and looking for trouble. People are glad to see him thrown out on his ass.
Your A Waste of Space. Divorce can lead to positive change. Two people who are not 100% dedicated to seeing each other happy should not be together. These people brought scrutiny on themselves by agreeing to make there lives into reality TV so STFU DipSh1t
Obviously it’s not if your making captions on them ><
You got that right. We’re going to be watching these kids graduate high school. Like it or not, they’ll be the next Olson Twins.
last time i checked, twins were 2 siblings from a single birth
Wow – check out that body language.
I hate you + You hate me =Typically American family!
Not all families are like that, nothing.
I can’t believe Jon cheated on Kate!
I can’t believe you care.
I can’t believe no one realized this would happen in the first place.
I can’t believe this was AT ALL a surprise to anyone.
I can’t believe it’s not butter !
And how much child support will the poor fool be paying every month??????
(His earnings) – (cost of renting a bedroom in someone’s house) – (average cost of food for 1 person for 1 month)
5′d because I agree wholeheartedly.
Jon – Kate / 8
wait you math is telling me that if the show is X than
Jon Kate
X=—— + ——-
1 8
Yay nerdyness!!!
damn it killed my formatting
its (john over 1) + (kate over 8)
kate over
Nope, wrong smiley. 8)
yea the 8 and the bracket turned into a smiley. WHY DOES THIS SITE HATE ME LIKE THAT!
Nope it’s Kate over
(my face)
It’s called HTML parsing.
Just saw a cover of a magazine with her smacking one of the kids, police coming and all. I’ve never been able to stomach that show, she talked to her husband and her kids like they were dirt. Please make them go away.
I never watched the show, except for a few minutes here and there while I was switching channels.
What I want to know is: Did Jon and Kate *ever* watch their own show? They should have.
It would have been patently obvious to them that they needed counseling, a long time ago.
Or just plain WATCHING themselves would have been good counseling.
It would have been a wake-up call for their behavior, one would think.
Well, to be fair, if you’ve seen the t.v. specials before they went nuts and got their own show, Jon’s always been an ass, too. Really, I can’t stomach either of them because they both have their pissy ass-hatted moments. Kate has a tendency to cuss Jon out, while Jon gives up on taking care of the kids multiple times in favor of just walking away to do his own thing. It’s really pitiful.
Not soon enough!
Can we please make “creating a new reality TV show” a capital offense? PLEASE???
Oh god please please let this come to be. Take the hills with it.
I’d vote for that law
no cuz i had a great idea for one, its called “Dead Dumbasses”
The idea is that 12 reality show fans will compete in lethal events, and the “winner” gets shipped off to the sun!
Can we start with that horrific couple people are calling “spidey” please? It’s bad enough they stole Spiderman’s nick-name but they’re the worst kind of “celebrity” and I use that term VERY loosly…
Hey, Could some please explain to me WHO THE HECK THESE PEOPLE ARE AND WHY THE HECK PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF THEM AND THEIR 8 CHILDREN!
I can’t be the only one who is SICK TO DEATH of those two. Just make them go away!!!
AMEN. I never watched the show and barely knew who they were but it seems like I am being bombarded tonight with every news show thinking their breakup is NEWS. This is such a sad statement on American standards. An ordinary couple cashes in with a reality show and suddenly they’re ‘stars’ and their marital strife becomes the evening news?! I agree with one of the above statements — stop watching this drek. Maybe it will go away. Maybe networks will rehire WRITERS and we will get some decent shows to watch other than reality shows and game shows.
ummmm i don´t even know who these people are. someone clue me in, please.
this is big brother 9 i believe
They’re nobodies who got famous via a reality show when she popped out 6 kids at once (after already having twins)
..a litter!
An obscenity.
An obscenity indeed. I hope this particular divorce involves a court appointed lawyer (paid by the parents) to represent the children’s interest, because goodness knows these two money grubbing attention hos don’t put the children’s interests first.
The entire situation stems from a medical obscenity, the implantation of a medically neglectful number of embryos in Kate (none of the 6 younger children are the result of embryos splitting into identicals). Oddly enough, THAT never got questioned in the press – despite the Octomom’s doctor being publicly slapped for doing the same thing.
When is TLC going to stop creating these trainwreck families by making fake “reality” situations for them to film? In the course of actual life, Kate never would have had nannies and a bodyguard and a tummy tuck, Jon never would have gotten hair plugs and a family of 10 would never have flown all over the country taking several vacations a year.
I fear TLC is going to give Octomom a show next…
I did some searching and I was wrong about the pregnancy. It wasn’t implantation of embryos in Jon and Kate’s case, but ovarian stimulation. That resulted in 6 embryos with seven yolk sacs. (That last explains why in a very early J&K they once said “seven embryos” but it was never explained.)
When told about the over abundance of embryos they chose not to do a selective reduction in order to help save the pregnancy itself.
Actually multiple births (although in this case it likely is) aren’t an abomination. Multiple births are apparently an old offshoot from evolution, which is not strictly needed anymore (hence the reason why natural multiple births are incredibly rare.) The reasoning behind them is as follows. Way back in the mists of time the apes gave birth to multiple births, to ensure that at least one or two baby apes made it into adulthood. When the apes evolved this particular gene was dominant and remained so, mainly because of the same reasons (lots of danger, low chance of survival, getting trampled on by mammoths or dinosaurs etc.) Hence this gene remained dominant for quite some time. However as the chances of surviving more than a couple of years after birth became more and more, children with the no multiple birth gene became more and more common, and eventually today the no multiple birth gene has largely become dominant, and the multiple birth gene has become recessive (at least in Europe and North America)
This is incredibly simplified but kind of gets it across. Hopefully. (Guess who did Biology
)
so i´m guessing she lost fame after Octomom?
i agree with smelly
if anyone thinks that the gosselins are fake or are just putting an act on for tv you can go drop a knife on your foot. there is absolutely nothing wrong a family that happens to get a divorce. if you want to slam somebody about their fifteen minutes of fame slam the family with 18 kids(i don’t want to say their last name, it should be a sin to say duggar)
You don’t want to say their last name, and yet, you say it…
I think the reasons people are slamming the Jon+Kate couple are because those people care more about being on tv then their childrens well being ti would seem.
But I’m not sure why anyone actually cares, there are lots of awful parents around. It just happens to be that these two are on tv.
the big difference between the gosselins and the duggars is that the gosselins have completely changed. season 1 they were broke people who were trying to live their lives in the best way possible for their children. this season they’re having emeril cook them dinner and getting free motorcycles and thinking/acting like it’s perfectly normal. they take absurdly expensive trips and don’t do anything that’s remotely near what they did when the show started. they turned into wanna be celebrities and think that everyone should worship the ground they walk on. no one cares that they are getting a divorce… they care that they are vapid people who are too self absorbed to realize that their own immaturity will affect their children for years to come.
the duggar on the other hand have not changed at all. michelle is still a baby machine. jim bob is still a christian nut job. the kids are still well mannered and very helpful. they still shop at thrift stores and still budget things out to the nickles and dimes. they still buy used cars and follow the exact same ideals they had before they had the show.
THAT is why no one is slamming the duggars. you may think their ideals are strange (i do) but they are not changing because there are cameras following them around. they are true to who they are and won’t change that for anyone or anything.
Good point.
So people who believe in different things than you are nut jobs? How “liberal” and “tolerant” and “open-minded” of you.
I could never live like they do either, but this is America- a country founded by people thought of as nutjobs for their religious beliefs.
I think you might have missed the overall point, which was “yay, Duggars” for remaining themselves, and “boo, Gosselins” for turning into typical reality TV stars. Anyway, not that “nut job” is a particularly flattering thing to call a person, but as you pointed out, this is the US, and the right to refer to someone as a nut job is constitutionally protected.
who ever said i was liberal and tolerant and open-minded? i sure as hell didn’t.
and this is not “America”. this is “The United States of America”. “America” is nothing. it is not a country. it is not a continent. it is *nothing*.
i totally agree with you statement….ans i quote “America is nothing…..it is *nothing* totally patriotic dude. AWESOME!!
Just wondering do you use the whole ‘the United States of America’ (not capitalization) statement in everyday life?
Sorry folks!! This is NOT the United States of America. This is the Interweb and, to quote the song (and even if I can get my left leg working, do the dance routine
) Anything Goes.
Hey,yeah i heard they getting a dirvovirece.
…Huh?
who the hell are these people?
oh no
now they have room for Octomom… *cringe*
she’d already gotten a show, on a different network. That’s another one on my DNW (do not want/watch) list
She has a show? *sigh* Now I have to murder people.
just don’t give here any more car seats, i know the guy who fixed the car window
Next Season: John minus 9!
I never watched “Jon and Kate plus 8″, but I saw the American Choppers episode where they visited these two….let me tell you, I’ve never seen a more spoiled rotten b*tch in my life! I hope the kids grow up with their feet on the ground, unlike her. It’s easy to tell how Jon can’t stand her, but he’s SOL…they’re divorcing and she’ll be taking him to the cleaners. There’s no doubt though…she had this planned. I feel for ya, Jon! Hang in there!
yes its true
the thing is jon, he never wanted it much. and if you noticed he had always worked it so he wasnt shown as much as possible. kate wanted the publicity and all of that. half the reason the split up is happening. Also, really, you are having marriage issues, and you re-up a tv series, that is pretty stupid if you want to stay together, so I have no sympathy.
Yes, divorce is sad when children are involved. But since when was it NEWS? Yesterday on The Today Show, instead of seeing news about the train crash in DC, I’m watching some segment about why these people are getting divorced. If I gave a crap, I’d watch the show itself (which I don’t). I can’t stand the “reality” crap on TV now, and only have a mild tolerance for the talent shows (but at least they have some merit as the participants usually have SOME talent).
nah the point of the talent shows is the watch the tryouts and laugh at talentless idiots who THINK they have talent.
Isn’t this a site about “celebs”?
Sorry, obviously I’m not from the right hemisphere, but I have never heard of these people. Who? What? Where’s the lol?
If I posted a lol about a Sydney “celeb”, no one would know wtf I was on about. Yet, we’re constantly bombarded with people who are unknown outside northern america.
Any chance of being a bit less parochial in the future???????????
Only if there’s a chance of you being less butthurt in the future.
You’re whining that this site is visited by more citizens of the U.S. than it is by Aussies? Is that it? What part of “user-created content” is not so easy for you to understand?
If anything, the fact that they’re unknown outside their own nation only makes the LOL more ironic.
Sheesh. I hate that all of you are knocking this family for going on tv in the first place. If you had no idea how you were going to support your family of ten(with 8 kids all under 4), and suddenly TLC comes out of the sky with an amazing offer, I’m sure all of you would do it too.
Obviously, the show and perils of fame have had negative effects on their relationship and the kids, but it’s still a terrible thing that people can be married for ten years and get divorced.
And seriously, Kate is not the only one to blame. Jon has a 22 year old girlfriend or something, wore freaking earrings on the last episode, and announced on national television that he was ‘excited’ to get divorced. I’m not siding with Kate, either, she is super selfish, but seriously.
More good points.
The Dilley family had the first surviving American sextuplets and DID NOT give in to pressure to turn their lives into a fishbowl. Their kids are now young teens, all good kids, the family is intact and nobody but the parents took care of the kids. The dad supported the family, the mom stayed home to take care of the kids and they have my utmost respect.
“If you had no idea how you were going to support your family ”
then
don’t
have
one.
John and chainsaw minus nine.
I’d watch that.
AND IT’S ABOUT TIME! God, I could never stand these two and all of the fame they got just for having a bunch of kids.
So, who exactly are these two people? This is some kind of TV show, right? I keep hearing about it and how sad it all is, and I’ve read through these comments, but I frankly haven’t a clue what all this is about. I read books, and don’t watch so much TV, so I find my life (curiously?) unaffected by TV’s drivel.
The BEST PART is TLC running a SALE on J&K +8 merchandise right now. I’m not making that up; it’s “50% off.” Yeah, just like the marriage.
AAND, TLC is offering some wonderful “J&K +8″ shows; they have a “10-year retrospective” next week! Oh goody; we can spend 2 hours watching the family morph, change and collapse! I’ll get the popcorn!
How do they have a 10-year retrospective on a show that hasn’t been on that long?
their relationship lasted 10 years…not the show
lotsa people know its crap, but inexplicably watch it anyway
The caption for this picture is stupid… they’ve been around for way longer than 15 minutes….!!!!
okay, SOME of the stuff you guys are saying is pretty pointless.
I’ve been watching this show since the beginning… i really enjoy the shows on tlc. It is sad to watch the family fall apart, but then again who isnt. And the children will be fine, just like all the rest of the children out there with divorced parents, but they aren’t having as bad of a time with all of this as you’re making it seem. The children are well hid for the most part, they have everything they want- example, the house they live in on tv is refferred to as their house, it was made specifically for them. The school they go to.. no one really cares about the media etc. and no one bothers them about it, so this isn’t exactly ruining their lives. they will live at their house with their mom, and when its jons turn he comes to the house and kate leaves for a bit. they never have to move around, and they are used to kate being away for periods of time. Also, the duggars who were being compared haven’t been on as long, and frankly they’re not half as popular as jon and kate…. because their show isn’t as entertaining etc. i know, ive never enjoyed it- point being… of course jon and kate have been offered so much money, freebies, anything they basically want because they are interesting, and they are the original large family on tv. So… they went from poor to rich very fast because of popularity… and kate worked really hard on getting their name out, and she is a multi-millionaire now, and mostly everything goes to their children. They will be on tv for some time to come! tlc won’t get rid of them, and there’s talk that jon is writing a book, which will make him about 1 million. I think its good that they are divorcing… kids need to grow up in a peaceful environment! it’s not divorces that really ruins kids… its the life they live… it sucks when youre parents argue all the time, and dont talk to eachother, aren’t peacful… This way, maybe their parents will move on and get serious with others… and they will see love for once, and that couples aren’t supposed to argue and fight 24/7.
I can’t find a supporting reference, but I think the cap is based on a quote, reputedly by Andy Warhol that “in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes”. Get it now?
Lol! The opium field!!!!!!!
