More octuplets headed to television

“Octomom” Nadya Suleman has inked a deal for each of her 14 children to earn $250 a day to star in a reality television show to begin filming September 1, according to court documents obtained by the Associated Press. The contract guarantees that the children will earn a total of nearly $250,000 over three years.
15 percent of the pay will be deposited by production company Eyeworks (“Breaking Bonaduce”) into a trust account which can’t be touched until the children turn 18 or become legally emancipated, the story says. That leaves Suleman with only $213,000 of “mad money,” by my count.
What do you think? Will you watch “Nadya Plus Eight Plus Six?” I think I’ll pass.

It's sick that someone as twisted as the Octomom gets a reality show. Come to think of it, most of the reality shows that have grown like a virus are pretty sick. Are peoples' lives so bad they have to sit and watch other strangers' lives or are we just turning into a nation of voyeurs?
