Child #18 has popped

I'm not sure if anyone really watches the show, but the Duggar family (17 Kids and Counting) have counted up to 18 on the 18th of December.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 (the original 'we have a ton of kids and this is how we live' TLC show) has a place in the world as people are interested in what you do with six 3 year olds at one time, in addition to Maddy (who in herself, has the personality of four 7 year olds), and of course Cara. Not to mention, the hilarity of Jon on the show (which I'm positive he is unaware of because I think he's just really zoned out most of the time). However, the 17 Kids and Counting show simply follows a family around that must be insane and has no special contribution to... well, anything. Having never really watched the show, I'm not sure what they do for an income (besides milking TLC for everything they can) but how can anyone afford to have 18 children, plus 2 adults. (I read somewhere that they go through 6 gallons of milk a week which is something like $30 a week just on milk - damn)

Not that I'm for the control of people by a government, but I feel that in the case of this family, someone needs to step in and say "No more kids for you. You exceeded your quota by, oh...15!" Think of all the children that are born and placed in foster homes/orphanages daily that these people could have taken in and helped get off the 'streets', instead of continuing to create them themselves. Help others, Duggar family, and quit procreating!

Oh, and get some updated clothing. You can find things that look like they were designed in the 21st century for cheap too ya know!
