Last night I was flipping through some channels and I ended up stopping on TLC. Now I could go on a rant about how TLC has become oversaturated by Trading Spaces and similar shows, but this rant has another target: The Duggars. The family has seventeen effing kids! Seventeen! Think about that for a minute. That means there are more Duggars than players you will see in a huddle at one time during Super Bowl this weekend.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that Jim Bob Duggar thinks that every one of his children are “gifts from God.” I don’t disagree that kids are special. Hell, if I was at all religious, I might even agree to the statement about children being a gift from God. But do you have to have seventeen of them!?

More than ever people are concerned about the environment, sustainability, and overpopulation. Humanity can’t figure out how to feed every person on Earth. Scientists work tirelessly to come up with new methods energy production and to reduce our dependence on oil. Birth control comes in many forms and is readily available anywhere in the US. Yet, somehow Jim Bob Duggar thinks it’s OK to manufacture his own brood and then insist the reason is because God gave him many gifts? How about you pull your head out of your Bible and start thinking about what you are doing. Maybe think about throwing on a condom next time you bang your wife, OK?
