Jon & Kate: Am I the only one who thinks....

I've enjoyed watching Jon & Kate plus 8 over the years. Even my kids enjoy watching it.

I just think that the timing for the expose of marriage troubles came right after Season 4 ended and hit the news again right as Season 5 started. Any publicist would have been proud of all the hoopla that this has generated!

Just because this is a "reality" show doesn't mean that it has to be factually the truth. Everything is he said/she said and some video that doesn't really prove anything except being at the wrong place/bad decision making/etc.

Does anyone else think that maybe the wool is getting pulled over our eyes just so that more money could be made on ad revenue? Remember that television programs of any genre are only there to encourage you to watch commercials, unless they are paid for by the advertiser already (infomercials, church programs, etc.)

A very talented group of video editors could select very different parts of a "day"from Jon and Kate Plus 8 and turn them into anything they wanted. For example, the video could probably produce 20 minutes of just kids screaming. Or they could just show people eating, yet staying skinny! They could show Jon & Kate working out all day and the kids watching TV all day. Thousands of people would call to have them investigated.

So, are they really having marital difficulties? Any publicity is good publicity!

I apologize if this is too preachy. Just thought someone needed to say it.
