Gosselins vs. Octomom: Whose Reality is Worse?

We're totally not snobby enough to say no to reality TV or the people who populate it—like you totally wouldn't wanna hang with Paula Abdul or go shopping with Kim Kardashian!

But there's slightly irritating but totally acceptable shameless attention hogs…and then there's absolutely reprehensible fame whores. And nominees for Parents of the Year Nadya Suleman and the Gosselins are at the top of the hideous heap.

Jon Gosselin, free from playing second fiddle to Kate, is vying for his own show, tentatively titled Jon Minus Kate Divided By Child Support for 8 Times 2 Girlfriends. Actually, if there's any truth to this Hamptons meetings of the schmucky minds, it might be called Divorced Dad's Club, and it might also star Michael Lohan. Costumes will be Ed Hardy, 'natch.

And Octomom's already begun filming her reality show, and so far, it's just her—as of right now, none of her fourteen kids have work permits, so camera crews are avoiding filming any of the lil' ones. So what the hell will be on this show? Just Nadya's big lips giving interviews to the press?

These shows starring infamous parents will be sans their children, which makes zero sense since these media-snogging a-holes are totally boring without their kids in the picture. How about actually raising your kids as opposed to "helping" them by making all your money the sleaziest way possible?

Believe it or not, making enough money to support your fam is feasible without hiring a film crew to document every moment, unless, of course, you're looking to make some big H-wood type bucks. Does Jon really need shopping sprees and vacays to St. Tropez? Does Suleman need all those probably pricey facial distortions? No. But, their kids need some folks who put them first.
