IMDb: Where opinions are NOT welcome.
My new personal favorite past time is pissing people off on IMDb. If anyone has even gone to the discussion boards for Jon and Kate Plus 8 it's seriously horrible. I went to the board hoping to find fellow Jon and Kate fans and talk about how cute the kids were and basically just gossip about the show. I learned quickly it is NOT a fan site. The whole site is full of people who HATE the Gosselin's. I posted one bulletin asking why someone who wasn't a fan of the show would watch it. These people completely went crazy on me. You say one nice thing and you have at least 15 people in 10 minutes telling you your opinion is wrong. It irked me even more when I read more into posts and realized this people were saying awful things about anything and everything in the family's life. They insult the kids, Jon and Kate's parenting choices, and even Kate's looks. It's truly pathetic. I am not one to defend myself or anything for that matter. However, when it comes to online I feel a little mighty. I know this seems pathetic but it's my cover up, I will meet these people so I saw it as my duty to defend the Gosselins. Making the ratio of haters to fans 20:1. Let's put it this way I stated all people on this board had no life. So of course they come back with, "well you're on this board so you must have no life." They hit the nail on the head, six week long winter break lead to having no life. My mom has the car during the day and I see Michael in the evening so I really don't go anywhere. My dizziness/anxiety doesn't help the cause much either. I basically stay in the house 24/7 and I really needed SOMETHING to keep my occupied. You can only watch so much TLC, Price is Right, and Full House before you get bored. The sad thing about this is these are grown people. I'm 18, I'm not really an adult, I don't have a job, a house, bills to pay or anything of that sort, therefore, allowing me to have more free time than someone who does. These people are seriously setting horrible examples. I'm a fucking teenager I say snotty, demeaning things, it just happens. I'm naive to the real world, but I'm not stupid. They say Jon and Kate are "pimping their children" I just don't see it. I mean they are getting paid per episode and for the products they use but I don't really see the big deal. I honestly don't see the kids turning out all that bad just because they were on TV as children. Ugh, people just can't accepting others opinions.
