That's a great idea for Ben. He could rap to the Veggie Tales.

They have Josie, (#19), who was born at 24-25 weeks gestation IIRC. She had the usual problems of micropreemies, without the advantage of parents who actually educated themselves on how to properly stimulate her to help her catch up. She seemed really behind, especially since her fame whore parents toted her, oxygen tank and all, all over the country so the whole dog and pony show could go on and they could keep sucking at TLC's teat. As far as "coloring outside the lines" goes, only Joy Anna ( so ironically named, as she has always seemed joyless) chafes at wearing skirts and acting girly. None of them has seriously rebelled, tried to seek higher education or dye their hair blue. I'm sure one of them MUST be gay ( I believe Snipy suspects Josiah), and that kid will be forced to go to conversion therapy if anyone ever suspects.

Wasn't Derick doing Missionary "work" in Tibet or somewhere similar while he was "courting" Jill ? I remember when he flew to Arkansas to meet Jill and the family for the first time. Hilariously, Jill was so excited when he walked up to her in the airport that she flung herself at him and gave him a full frontal hug, like a common Palin. Michelle was very shocked lol !

Does nobody the TLC viewing public notice how sick all of this is? German porno sick? I can't even read all the way through an article about it.

That is really sad because to me, out of all the girls, she has the most talent and is the prettiest. She could do/be so much more but those evil parents have broken any spirit this girl may have once had.

And unfortunately the cycle continues with the next generation. The older kids have turned out to be useless with no direction in life, the younger kids are on their way to being the same, and now the grand kids will be indoctrinated too. Those parents have a lot to answer for. You are right. They are sick.

Wait, what? Now, I didn't, and never will, watch this waste of electrons, but one would think that such a group of sexually repressed grifters and numbskulls might be somewhat averse to allowing the filming, let alone broadcasting, of female tingly parts, even in a medical context. Oh, well, I guess it must have paid for the trip to deepest, darkest Central America.

Please, Snipy, never stop saying "squashy baby". I laugh every time. And, once again, my profound thanks for watching this show and reporting on it. I'm sure your alcohol and therapy bills are extreme.
