  BOYCOTT CIRCUS FREAK SHOWS WITH MOMS WHO SPIT OUT LITTERS!!

  It is disgusting and needs to shop. DHS needs to take away her children since she cannot provide for them and is exploiting her kids which should be illegal!

  I am tired of watching insta-families because they are too selfish to only have one egg implanted during the use of fertility treatments.

  BE WISE.. don't support BAD BEHAVIOR BY BAD MOMS!

  Uually I dislike to read such harsh comments as the one posted by anonymous whatever, but, in this case, I feel the same way. Especially about the first statement, 'litters' thats what I call it too!

  I'm not one to advocate government legislation of people's personal lives but I think there should be a law against that kind of fertility treatment. I mean if Donald Trump's wife, or some other mega rich person who can afford umpteen kids, wants it, fine, but there should be some kind of wealth screening before giving someone a kid-un-friendly payday like that. It's unhealthy for the innocent children involved!

  This is about as wrong as having a show where a guy who's sired dozens of children with multiple women living under one roof. It could be called "Polygamists Gone Wild" starring Warren Jeffs.

  In one episode, the Duggars, Gosselins and Octomom meet up with the Jeffs and all head to Waco Texas to pay their respects to the Branch Davidians only to be chased into a building by Janet Reno and the infamous torch bearing ATF & FBI...all running around to a score of Benny Hill chase music.

  After shooting the episode all you would hear would be...."Where's my kid?"

  I'd totally watch it. :P

  Here's a perfect example of a woman who exploited her kids from day one and doesn't seem to give a crap about it. Her and the Gosselin's. The only family I don't agree is exploiting their children is the Duggers. Fame or not, they are still the same loving and supportive non materialistic family and you don't see them doing or saying things that demoralize themselves or their beliefs. I'd like to see Octomom and Kate and Jon offer to build an addition to another family's home purely out of the goodness of their hearts. That will never happen. At least the Dugger's are showing a positive aspect to reality TV.

  First of all referring to these children as "litters" is inexcusable. Are you saying that if you make under a certain amount of money, the children that they aren't really children at all? They are litters right, not worthy of our tax dollars? The comments above make me sick. Our society has a history of comparing people of color to animals so whether you realize it or not its an extremely racist as well as classist comment. And as far as the wealth screening component...I guess only rich people deserve a chance to have a child.

  Wow MeganW you obviously have some issues and you need seek therapy!

  Describing a overwhelming amount of kids in one family using the term "litter" is not a RACIST explanation. No one said "Suleman is an animal", you are being hypersensitive and reading your own hatred for people not of YOUR color falsely into these comments.

  No one said they were not children, but they did in fact say that Suleman can not care for the children on her own. Her mother said so herself. These innocent children have been the tax-payers burden, and the only way to get around that is for her to exploit them.

  Everyone deserves a chance to have a child (if they want to), only the rich can afford to be foolish about they way they do it. Suleman was and still is very irresponsible and immature.

  I wish you well in seeking to find peace in your heart towards people not of YOUR color.

  I'll pass on watching this show. There are plenty of good books to read instead.

  I DOUBT that octo w----mom's kids will see any of the money they get from this deal. She'll probably use it for plastic surgery, fancy cars, or something else FOR HERSELF! If one of those 14 kids doesn't get homicidal, it would be MIRACULOUS!
