Not that anyone has asked me but
no I'm not watching the
Octo-Mom because I feel like I would be contributing to the celebration of freakish excess for the sake of crass commercialism not to mention that I can't but feel like we're giving a free pass to a single mom with a large number of children and if she was a few shades darker and looked more like
Monique instead of Angelina Jolie she wouldn't be receiving the entertainment media attention but instead the news media ostrichization while being used by opportunistic politicians who would set her up as example of what's wrong with America by feeding into racial stereotypes about black women while denying to the rest of us that it has anything to do with race.
