This is disturbing on so many levels....

[Der Blaue Engel]

1. They're gonna run out of J names

and they'll have to name the next one Jesus. Then they'll go to hell.

Truly disturbing.

[AllegroRondo]

16. But they save a ton of money on monograms

[Der Blaue Engel]

19. .

:rofl:

[Proud2BAmurkin]

2. Congratulations IF she can afford all of them nt

.

[liberal N proud]

8. In todays economy, What are the chances?

[Inspired]

13. I saw them on TV

and I recall that they are actually very well off financially. With that said, this story is just gross.

[Matariki]

25. ah, so only rich people get to overpopulate the planet?

[etherealtruth]

3. I saw a "story" about this family on ... TLC

... (maybe Discovery ... ). They were an incredibly organized family on one level; on an other level there was something very unsettling (read disturbing)about them ... the sexism, the blind RW faith ... something.

4. Who paying for her kids?

Sorry I didn't read the article because it's just too weird for me.

[LisaL]

14. He sells real estate. Maybe he makes tons of money, WTF knows?

[devilgrrl]

35. How much you want to bet some of it is public assistance!

It wouldn't surprise me.

[enid602]

5. no surprise

Is it any surprise that daddy's name is Jim Bob?

[jackster]

9. and he's apparently

trying to get back into state politics - a very very scary thought!

[LiberalinNC]

6. Holy Crap! I wonder how well her bladder will hold up!

That's just too many babies for 1 woman!

[Shine]

10. Yeah, among OTHER things...I guess after a certain amount of

kids they just CRAWL out. :eyes:

Eeewwww...sorry for the visual.

[esvhicl]

7. Jinger!?

Who names a kid "Jinger"?

[MissB]

33. The real question is

will they run out of "J" names before her uterus falls out?

[WinkyDink]

11. Sick.

[blueknight]

12. just great!

who do you think these nutjobs voted for?

[deadparrot]

15. They have a website...

http://www.duggarfamily.com/

Can they stop with the J names? Because seriously, the cuteness wore off like nine kids ago.

Bah. Republicans.

[Shine]

18. I am sorry, but that is just freakish.

ewww...

[Solo_in_MD]

21. Knew a family growing up. All the daughters were named Mary

in different languages (Moira, Megan...) The mother is now very active in the anti gun movement unfortunately.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

17. Ya know, eventually "things" just CAN'T go back into place.

Someday her uterus is just going to clog the bathtub drain.

I saw that freaky family on a TLC show. Kids all dressed in dorky home-made clothes and of course were homeschooled. Oh, and even though they live in a southern state, they created their home wingnut church with a handful of followers because they couldn't find a bat-shit crazy enough church WHERE THEY LIVE!!!!

[blueknight]

20. i just looked at their website

definet fucking nutjobs.

[dflprincess]

22. They have a child named Jinger?

This is just weird.

[AbbyR]

23. This is the blinkin' idiot who ran for Senate in Arkansas, I think...

They sent out a press release with the whole family dressed in red - girls in little jumpers with white blouses, guys in red sweaters, I think. I remember looking at the photo in shock, thinking "Who on earth keeps those kids in shoes?"

I've lived in Arkansas for 23 years, and some of the smartest people I've ever known live here. (Honest.)
But I gotta say, some of the stupidest live here, too.

[A Simple Game]

24. Here's the problem.

"We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said.

Sorry folks, the lord is not what is causing the pregnancies. Take a Biology 101 course before it is too late.

[Jara sang]

26. One is reminded of Andrew "Dice" Clay's poetic brilliance with this story

There was an old lady
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many kids
Her uterus fell out

[SammyBlue]

27. Will sixteen be enough, Bob?

It's women like this that drives feminists nuts. I am no fan of feminists, but I loathe women like this.

Women who think there's nothing more to life and sitting at home, watching TV and pumping out a baby every nine months.

[melody]

28. She's only 39 years old with 16 kids?

My god, the woman must have varicose veins like the River Delta - how often has she NOT been pregnant?

BTW, Jinger is NOT a southern name. I know - my family has all the strange southern names (from Alsberry to Valentine) and we don't have a single "Jinger". They made up that one.

[LissaM]

29. i don't know whether to laugh or be grossed out.

and i thought 2 sisters and a brother was a lot!

[phusion]

30. Are they Mormon?

Jeez...

How many millions of children need good homes? How overpopulated is this planet?

:grr:

[sepia_steel]

31. Nice, er... FITTING hairdo.

Them thar gits 'er CRAZY.

[nvliberal]

32. Fun Facts.

Actor Charles Bronson was one of 15 children.

Track great Wilma Rudolph was the 20th out of 22 children.

Famous boxer Sonny Liston was one of 25 children from his father's two marriages.

[MaineDem]

34. Holy mother of god...this is ridiculous

Okay, they can procreate. We know they can do it.

Baby factory comes to mind. I sure hope they can afford to provide for those kids.
