As Octomom is thrust into my life by Larry King, Dr. Phil, Nancy Grace, Entertainment Tonight, and, yes, even Papa Bear Bill O'Reilly, I am beginning to experience a deja vu. Sarah Barracuda (Palin) revisits my memory, and a few similarities strike me as odd:
SARAH PALIN NADYA SULEMAN
- Number of kids 5, + 1 grandbaby 6, + octopulets
- Exclusive interview Charlie Gibson (ABC) Someone (ABC)
- Acquisitions $150,000 Wardrobe $168,000 Disability
- Desired jobs President, err, Vice Pres Actress, err, Porn star
- 15 minutes Speech at GOP convention Fight with Mom on TV news show
- Media whoring Lugging children everywhere Constant filming of her kissing kids
- Reality strikes V.P debate Father questions mental situation
- World crashes McCain/Palin lose election Home about to be foreclosed
- Comeback strategy Interview re: media mistreatment Intervention by Dr. Phil
- Dumb nickname Lipstick-wearing pitbull Octomom
In a Twilight Zone moment, this all seems very eerie. Why are we fascinated with crazy chicks that have a bunch of kids? In a ploy to receive good publicity, we are bombarded of images of adorable children, tiny babies in the neonatal ICU, these women struggle to epitomize the strong, yet tender woman. They aspire to be the ultimate woman, with the maternal instinct of the Virgin Mary, sex appeal of Marilyn Monroe, and intellect of Marie Curie. However, superheroes are meant to be in film adaptations of graphic novels. These ladies are far from being heroes and inspirations to women.
