Chapter . Octomom
An Angelina look-alike, single mother of six gave birth to octuplets. If that’s not newsworthy, what is? The story hit the media and multiplied. Late night comics and cartoonists combined the crazy Octomom with the poor economy and Obama’s crazy spending, giving birth to endless gags. From ethical and legal allegations against Nadya Suleman’s doctor, to lucrative offers for X-rated films—the situation became increasingly bizarre. As if raising one child in the present economy wouldn’t be hard, OctoMom now had fourteen mouths to feed, insure, and educate. She was reported to be negotiating for a reality TV show deal as authorities investigated the doctor who gave her fertility drugs.
