hahahaha the quiverfull movement. it fascinates me and yet scares the shit out of me. though i want their recipe for homemade laundry soap, since my father's crazy suvioralist tendencies seem to be wearing off on me.
Heh. Yeah, they made banana cake in the episode I watched and it looked really good. But I'm sure I can find an equivalent recipe on the internets that doesn't have the taint of psychotic camwhoring fundamentalists. >.>
OMG, I know what you mean about The So-Called Learning Channel! Stupid shows about parents with multiple births and raising seventeen children and baby stories and mothers in coffee houses talking giving advice on breastfeeding. As if society hasn't catered to "the family" enough. I know it's hard to believe there are people out there who rather watch a documentary or learn about history, science, anthropology, etc. instead of listening to parents describe the minute details of raising seventeen children in an overpopulated world, but we freaks do exist.
Other than... changing the channel to something less bizarre and disquieting. Like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. >.>
Yeah, it's just weird to me that there's a non-ironic audience for these shows. Enough that there are at least three ongoing series on the subject of ridiculously huge families, and that's not even counting the multiple-birth specials and crap like that. Really, do we need that many shows basically centered around the concept "look at us, we reproduce a lot!"? When did this become a trend? It's just kind of creepy.
I saw the Duggars on Larry King Live a couple of days ago and one of their kids (I believe the oldest, but I certainly can't keep 'em straight) announced she was pregnant. "I'm gonna be part of the mommy team!" Ack. Yuck.
Yep, the episode Liz subjected me to (NEVER FORGIVING HER lol) was the one where that announcement was made. It's actually the oldest son's wife who is pregnant, I guess. Of course they asked them how many kids they want, and she was all "as many as possible!" Bleh. (Though the son did make a point of saying "we'd be happy with one or two." I really hope that means he doesn't want to follow exactly in his parents' footsteps, because the thought of every single one of these kids growing up to be an equally prolific breeding machine is nightmare material.)

Good to know the recession isn't hitting them.
