The Octomom

I resisted knowing anything about the "Octomom" for as long as possible. However, like most of the detritus floating around the interwebs (and television - God save us from the 24 hours news cycle) at some point it becomes a choice between ignoring the world completely or learning things you would rather now know. Enter the Octomom. Now I know her name (Nadya Suleman) and the fact that even though she has no means to support herself and already had several other children she convinced a fertility specialist to help her spawn a litter. She also allegedly has an Angelina Jolie fetish. The attention that's lavished on this nutbag is just fuel to the fire. If I could just excise the Octomom's existence from my mind and replace her with something useful (what's actually going on with health care reform, anyone?) I'd be a happier person. Will she get a reality show? Won't she? Why should we care?
