Octomom’s Reality
When Nadya Suleman gave birth to 8 children she rose to the top of American attention. Her part in the debate about fertility drugs and ethics has long been over, but now like any good American in the spotlight she’s taking advantage of her notoriety and hitching herself and her 14 kids to the reality show bandwagon. Which leads to the question…Is Infamous just as good as Famous? In this celebrity culture we have all press really is good press, as long as it doesn’t drag you before a judge. I won’t get into the whole reality show vs. real life question, watching a train wreck in action isn’t my idea of good television. But with the Octomom story running well over her 15 minutes of fame mark, I have to wonder about what makes a celebrity these days.
