Salvation for Octomom!

March 25, 2010 ·

Octomom, plucky, publicity-seeking mom of 14 kids, including the octuplets who gave her her name in the national media, now faces eviction from her $540,000 California McMansion if she can't make a $450,000 balloon payment. (Awwww!)

However, all is not lost. (Yaaaay!) An adult film company has offered to pay off the balance of her house for her, thus keeping a roof over her and her 14 children’s heads. All she has to do is sign a film contract with them.

After all, Octomom likes her new bikini body – she proudly showed it off on the cover of Star magazine to grocery shoppers across the land. And the film company graciously even offered to let her choose her own partner – so we’re not talking about pulling the Hell’s Angels train or some other unsavory back-room scenario.

My favorite analysis comes from Radical Mommy’s blog:

“If there is a legitimate opportunity to make money -- and the alternate option is to continue to bilk the system -- then I wholeheartedly believe that she needs to get it together and do this for her kids…. Would doing porn make people look down on her more than they already do? No -- in fact, I think some people would actually respect her more because she would be taking responsibility for her children. Would doing a couple of porno flicks cause her self-esteem to suffer? Who f***ing cares? If holding her hand out for charity for so many years hasn't hurt her self-esteem up to this point, nothing will.”

Right on! As the Republicans remind us, we need to take responsibility for our own lives and situations. I confess I won’t be lining up to buy an autographed copy of her hot DVD, but it’s one small step towards doing the right thing.
