Jon & Kate + Law & Order?

So I just heard something about an upcoming episode of Law & Order that is supposed to be inspired by Jon and Kate Gosselin, about a young mother who has multiple children and a reality show about her family. In the episode, the mother is murdered and the prime suspect becomes the father of the children. Now, I can understand that Jon and Kate have been in the headlines constantly, and there have been countless spoofs done on their situation, but does this particular situation seem a little inappropriate? I know that its just a work of fiction, but with all of the negative things being said about the Gosselins in the media, and the fact that there are young children involved, who have most likely already been exposed to some of the unpleasant things being said about the family, does this kind of portrayal seem to be a little bit insensitive? What do you guys think?

  1. Are you serious? An episode inspired by Jon & Kate Plus 8?! Ok, that's it, I've had it with this. I think it's time we wave goodbye to Gosselin family once and for all. I've heard too much media gossip about the family with, "Kate this" and "Jon that". I have gotten really tired of it, and I can't get away from it because everywhere I go, they are there. I go on the internet, they're there; I turn on the television, there they are. I even go to my local grocery store, and there they are on a magazine cover! It's gotten to the point where they just control every inch of the media outlet and it needs to be stopped. Obviously it will probably never stop because Kate loves the limelight and Jon is just annoying and goes to different media sources to spill his fury. Enough is enough, but I don't like the idea of a show creating an episode that is similar to what is going with their family. What else is next?
