That's what I mean!

Now all of these jokes are funny! If the news had just waited to find out what happened, then everything would be cool....

The whole situation seems like a joke now....

I'm tellin you, the parents are shallow attention-whores, and the whole thing was a setup.

I feel it in my bones.

THAT disgusts me.

I find it rather sickening overall
Sure, reporting on Jon and Kate was displaced by this silliness. A travesty.

Seriously, imo this was newsworthy and the only real irresponsibility I see is with the parents and the early jokers.

It's probably part of what the dad was trying to prove....

WOW Very misleading first words, when you said breaking news i thought you were gonna follow it with "i just got my n900" or "my n900 just shipped"

Dude bummer

Remember "Last Caress" by the misfits

I've got somethin' to say
I killed your baby today and it
Doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Though I much prefer the Metallica version on Garage Days.

Ah to be a young a55hole again
