Default 'Octomom' Gets Death Threats

Ok not everyone (and hardly anyone) is impressed with this mother of many. But this is going too far.



These idiots are only helping to increase support for those who are exploiting the system. Discuss the issue. Leave the children out of it and for petes sake don't talk about violence!

It's not funny its not cute. Its unlawful and unethical!

This just shouldn't have happened in the first place. Death threats go too far, but the point is, this is total BS

Ah, I see that the base nature of humanity to compete for resources mainfests itself once again. The gene war never ends.

I always wonder how many of these "death threat" are manufactured for publicity?

I am glad that the police are taking them seriously but I wonder how much cop-time is wasted on "PR" death threats?

I like taking things literally.

She's the one with the 8 kids. Octuplets.

Not the one with 8 arms

This whole story reminds me of comedian Dennis Miller's line about a similar multiple birth incident involving a fertility clinic;

"It's a vagina, it's not a clown car."

What no one has told you yet is that she knowingly, with 6 other children already, went to a fertility clinic and had a doctor basically knock her up medically.

Why would an unemployed mother do this? Simple - welfare check. Every kid she has is more money for her. This is an old trick and is usually done by by illegal Mexicans. The plea to the community in her case is just more money for herself using the poor little me BS.

The reason for the outrage over octomom is the lies told that she was supposedly able to raise the children herself with no .gov assistance.

While the media pawned over this "wonder mom" those who had any kind of sence checked and found what complete and utter BS this is.

Just put it this way. The hospital care for the birth and stay alone for just these 8 will be over a million dollars. Meanwhile is Octomom studying hard to prepare to get a job to support these 14? Nope she was spotted getting an Xbox360.

Holy Crap! Having raised two kids and that was enough I cannot imagine all those diaper changes and feedings at 2 in the morning. I would commit suicide...
