The Decline of Western Civilization

Dear Congressman,

I believe today, finally, that the reality TV plague has begun it's long and tedious downward slide to the annals of history, with a special slot right next to Pet Rocks, Members Only Jackets, and barbwire bicep tattoos. Here's why courtesy of the Associated Press:

LOS ANGELES - The Southern California woman who gave birth to the world's longest-surviving set of octuplets has signed a deal to star in a reality television series, her lawyer said Sunday.

Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to the six boys and two girls in January and also has six other children, agreed to be filmed for a proposed television show by Eyeworks, a Netherlands-based production company, attorney Jeff Czech said.

The company hasn't yet sold the show to any American television network, he said.


Since Katie Couric did not succeed in ending her life, it is only appropriate that someone came up with the astounding idea that giving this woman her own TV show. In fact, I think after about three episodes of following Ms. Suleman around, you will be able to get sponsors banging on the network's door trying to run ads. Some fitting ads might be:

Brinks Security Alarm Systems: Because you never know when Nadya will want to visit you!

Trojan Prophylactics: Eight might not be enough for Nadya, but none is plenty for you.

Hummer : If she's out there driving, we can make you safe....
