Octo-Mom could get reality show

Nadya Suleman is close to striking a deal on a reality show that would feature her during her daily chores, on dates and when she's bussing around her 14 children, according to People.com (and found on MSN Entertainment.)

The reports says that Suleman and her lawyer have been in talks with various production companies about creating a show that will provide her a consistent income.

My first reaction to this story is oh, good. Give the baby lady some more media attention. This is the type of lady I want to read about and see every day. (Note the sarcasm.) On second thought though, the show would give Suleman a solid income, so everyone would be assured that she is not living off the taxpayers (or at least for the duration of the show.) Plus, then we know the children should have the oppporunity to have all the basics, like healthy food, clothes and shelter.

But then again, by giving her a show, the television world is just reenforcing her behavior. To me, the show would essentially say that her choice to have 14 children as a single parent while still living with her parents (or at least I think she was living with the parents for awhile) is completely acceptable. On many different levels, I don't think her choice was completely right, and so I for one don't want to watch a television show about her. I think I would just be frustrated the entire time I watched it.

Sorry, Octo-Mom, I can guarentee I will not be a viewer.
