After invoking our own FlashForward on Wednesday to visualize scenes from the rumored Jon - Kate + Octomom, we frantically searched for ways to stop the reality TV apocalypse from approaching. We considered powerful groups with whom we could align in our efforts to stop this explestival (exploit-festival): TLC, Kate Gosselin and child services. However, we completely overlooked Jon Gosselin's new Michael Jackson-sized entourage to step in on behalf of society's best interest.
Gosselin's advisors did not cite competing offers to star in dating shows (a Bachelor-like competition in which 30 eager single mothers of multiples compete for Jon's hand in remarriage) or TLC's restrictive contract, but the best interest of his family.
TMZ intercepted a statement written by Jon's talent agent, in which the notorious TLC star regretfully declines the Jon - Kate = Jon + Octomom offer:
While Jon appreciates the consideration and the potential revenues that it offers, after reviewing with both the management team and his spiritual advisors Jon has decided it is not in his best interest to pursue a show of this nature. [..] It is important to Jon to focus on his family and repairing the relationship that Jon and Kate need to have, both for themselves and for the sake of their children.
Could this be a new beginning?
