You can’t make this up – reality show edition

So let’s see, Kate Gosselin of “Jon and Kate plus eight” is now complaining about excessive media attention.  Which besides being distressing is presumably making it hard to do her job…which is, raising her kids on a reality television show.    

The San Francisco Giants lost yet ANOTHER game 2-1 Friday night, this time in twelve innings.  Their third 2-1 loss in four days.  (Their fourth loss was 3-2) 

It’s not so much that sports fans can’t deal with all these losses, it’s that usually with these scores, penalty kicks are involved.

You think somewhere, someday a couple years ago,  somebody in Giants management  said “Dear God, please rid us from the taint of steroids and performance enchancing drugs?”   If so, mission accomplished.

Okay, what’s wrong with this picture.  American Idol season two runner-up Clay Aiken said on his website  he tunes into the show about once a season.  He said this year, he saw Adam Lambert do “Ring of Fire”  and that it was  “contrived,” “awful” and “slightly frightening.”

But Aiken also complained that he thought the series showed bias for Adam over the eventual winner, Kris.

But, okay, Lambert’s  version of “Ring of Fire” was not well received by the judges. So either Clay has turned in more than one a season, or he’s making it all up. Or both. 

Bristol Palin is quoted in People Magazine as saying  ” If girls realized the consequences of sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me. Nobody.”

But okay, by that token, if people really realized the painful consequences of a whole lot of things that started out just as lighthearted fun, there would be no DUIs, no drug arrests, and no one would raise their child to be a Cubs fan.
