While We Were Out
These poor kids deserve privacy. The parents need some serious counseling for thinking that this was a good idea.
I’ve already gone against my better judgement and written about Jon & Kate Plus 8 in the past (please forgive me) but I need to go there again.
I was at another cookout where people were still talking about these people. It appears that Kate — previously believed to be the evil shrew — is now the more popular of the two because Jon has been hooking up with some young blondes of questionable character. There is evidently Team Jon and Team Kate, and people seriously want to know whose side you’re on.
How about this: what about Team 8? These adults are both irresponsible enough to pimp out their children’s personal lives on national television. The kids didn’t have a choice in the matter, and someone needs to stick up for them. I find it hard to imagine that Child Protective Services allows people like the Gosselins and Octomom to sell the rights to their children’s privacy.
Weekly Wrap-Up: Apr. 12 – Apr. 17
Greetings, procrastinators! Another beautiful Spring week has come and gone. I know you sit at your desk during the work day and wish you could be outside enjoying the season. Unfortuantly, odds are that your boss would frown upon that idea. There’s good news, though! You can access The Daily Procrastinator right there in your workspace! It’s not the same as sitting outside in the Spring weather, but it beats working…
Let’s look back at this week’s posts, one writer at a time, and make sure you didn’t miss a thing.
TallGirl led the team in posts this week. She began the week with a fond farewell to Harry Kalas, longtime voice of the Philadelphia Phillies. She continued by posting a photograph that simultaneously celebrates Easter and borderline insanity. In the following days, TallGirl posted a thought on (supposedly) discounted footwear and a stupefying bit of Octomom news. She wrapped up her week as a Procrastinator with a rumination on the effects the economic downturn is having on long-standing American businesses.
"You're going to procrastinate? In THAT outfit?"
Magnus, the Procrastinator responsible for marketing, techinical expertise, and all things geek-related, is normally pretty quiet, but he spoke up twice this week. First, he announced the iPhone-specific version of The Daily Procrastinator. A few days later, he posted a brief tutorial on the use of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) to make information bring itself to you, instead of spending your valuable time searching for it. I had no idea this service existed. It’s genius!
Finally, BigRedPoet threw his hat into the proverbial ring twice this week. First, he posted a celebration of the arrival of crawfish season and outdoor concerts in the American south. Later, BRP provided a list of five links to help the procrastinators of the world wile away a few valuable hours of work time. Click them. Trust me.

The Daily Procrastinator: Contributing to the Dramatic Reduction of Your Personal Productivity
Octomom(TM)
ABC News reports that Nadya Suleman, AKA Octomom, has filed paperwork with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to trademark the Octomom moniker. She plans to sell, “dresses, pants, shirts as well as cloth and disposable diapers.”
Considering the level of scorn that’s been heaped upon this woman since the birth of her octuplets, I find myself wondering who would purchase Octomom-branded merchandise.
I’ll leave the searing commentary to The Superficial.
