The Dionne quints, five sisters, Annette, Cecile, Yvonne, Marie and Emilie, were born from a single egg in 1934. Despite all odds against the tiny girls, they survived. The Ontario government stepped in and removed them from their parents to protect them from germs, kidnappers and exploitation. Even though they were healthy they lived in a special "hospital" known as Quintland for the first 9 years of their lives. Their parents were not made welcome. The little girls were paraded out in front of the public twice a day and people could look at them through a mesh window. For a charge, of course. They were never allowed to interact with other children or anyone but medical staff at the little prison/zoo they existed in. By the time they were finally returned to their parents they hardly knew them and couldn't bond with the family. Last I heard, the two remaining sisters are still trying to collect the money their doctor and the government made from making them a tourist attraction and stealing their childhood. There are many accounts of their story in books and on the net, if you want to look it up. The accounts of the abuse they suffered will break your heart.
Now days, they call it reality TV. Or how to get rich without working. How much money do you think these kids will have in their bank account when they turn 18? If you said zero..ding! Ding! You guessed right. Ma and Pa Fertility's little freak shows work 24/7 ..they'd better be planning a Mommy Dearest or get used to flipping burgers.

That is just awful about those poor quints!!! They should sue the living loving crap out of that hospital for all it's worth. After all, if stupid people can win million from McDonald's for their coffee being hot or not knowing eating five quarter pounders a day would make them fat, these quints should have no problem winning (but of course they will because that's how the world works).
As for the J&K kids, I would be so pissed to have the world watch me potty train.
How about having poop pulled out of your butt while you screamed in pain like Collin? The Gosselins are disgusting people.
Oh, love the Britney wig!
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Unfortunately, I don't think Kon gives a rat's bum about what happens in the long run to the kids. They are all about themselves in the next 10 minutes.
It kills me that those damn Gosselins get so much damn money, free trips, etc. for having so many kids, hell the woman took fertility drugs, its not like they were some kind of miracle. Maybe everyone should start taking double doses of clomid so they can get their own show and all the perks that come along with it.
My money is on mady to write the tell all book.
Okay. One of my pet peeves. I don't know the woman who got burned by the McD's coffee personally, but the real story is that she ordered and received coffee, stuck it between her legs and steadied it to put the creamers in and it spilled all over her inner thighs burning her to the point where she needed skin grafts.
Who the fricken' hell is such a pathetic nincompoop that they have to make coffee that hot for them? Answer? No-one, that's who. It was unconscionable for the coffee to be fixed in such a manner as to be dangerous. This is the same stuff that is served in their restaurants and sits on tables with little kids around. Do you think their skin is more durable than hers? She was just the unlucky person whom this happened to, first. The stuff is for drinking, not boiling in!
. . .and I have seen numerous other folks fix their coffee, not just from McD's, in the same manner. She didn't ask to be burned and go through the pain and humiliation of grafting in such a sensitive area.
I repeat. No-one needs coffee that hot. No-one. [end of rant]
