Jon and Kate Gosselin announced their official separation on Monday evening’s show.

The kids will continue living in their Wernersville, Pennsylvania, home, the couple say. Each parent will stay there during their time with them. And despite the separation, the show will go on. The couple say they will continue to be a part of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” but instead film their time with the kids separately.

When asked what worries her most, Kate said it’s “the label that we’ve failed, how that will affect our kids … how they’ll be another statistic.”

You know you’re a bad parent when OJ Simpson is watching you from a jail cell, shaking his head in disgust.

Maybe – Maybe, South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford – who turned off his cell phone, and told both the state of South Carolina and his wife and kids not to look for him over this Father’s Day weekend – is in contention for the “Bad Dad of the Day” edition.

But on a week to week basis, these two take it.

Look – people divorce.  It happens.  That’s not the big deal.

It’s also not a big deal when reality stars have a car crash.  Nature of the beast.  You have to be a special kind of classy to open the door to your life and say “There’s enough turmoil here to keep a nation’s attention.  We suck!  Film it!”

It’s the fact that there are eight small kids in the crossfire, and neither of these idiots have the strength of conviction, or the courage to not be famous, to say “Uh… we’re not married anymore.  Get the cameras out of the house.”

This isn’t an Osbourne letting a grown adult drink too much, this isn’t Hulk Hogan letting his daughter get breast implants the size of basketballs.  

These are two “regular people” (Cough, cough) who are stepping on the backs of their children for fame and money.   

And it’s gross.

– UPDATE –

Hey, the divorce papers they filed said they were living “Separately” for two years.

When a channel lies to you for the sake of profit, is that reality?  Fiction?  Or Fraud.

Everywhere you look – Aholes.
