Filed under: Love & sex, Behaving badly, That's entertainmentI'm not especially into watching Jon and Kate plus Eight, but my wife likes to catch it. I've never been a big fan of hers; I feel that she is too obsessive and doesn't treat Jon particularly well. Well, it seems I'm not alone. In fact, one woman feels even more strongly about it and isn't afraid to say so. She has suggested that perhaps the show should be cancelled.Her reason -- Kate's incessant berating and belittling of Jon. Is he an abused husband? I'm not exactly sure, but he's certainly not treated all that well. The author, Tammy G, cites an incident at Toys R Us as an example. Kate hollers at Jon across the store and he ends up leaving in embarrassment. I'm not sure I would stand for such treatment either.Tammy G suggests that Jon and Kate are not good role models and offers up the Duggars instead. It seems to me, however, that not everything on television needs to be an example of how we should be; sometimes television can shows us how not to be. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
