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

Precisely!

"Octomom", I do not get it? Is she like half octopuss or something....

I like taking things literally.

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

Not the one with 8 arms

Jimbuna · 02-15-09, 12:24 PM

I hear she has 14 in total

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."

EDIT: given that her case is an "extreme one" but... she is only one of several million similar cases in the united states.

If she is normal, she may not deserve death threads, but she surely deserve a spanking. but I also can not rule out that she is psychologically serverly handicapped (="gaga"). In both cases it should be checked if it is a good idea and reasonable to leave the kids with her.

I think, sie hat wirklich ein Rad ab.

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...

The doctor is the one I want to hear from. I would like to know what the ethics of the profession say about this? I think the doctor acted irresponsibly and I wonder if he violated any laws/ethics that could threaten his career?
