open letter to madelyn gosselin

yea, i watch jon and kate +8, so what?

dear mady,
i'm almost 85% sure you are not as spoiled as you look. or at the very least, you won't end up like somebody that would be on mtv's "my sweet 16". but whatever made you more spoiled than your sister, just know that it's not your fault, it's just to way you are. i hope that you'll grow up and be a "normal" person, whatever that might mean to you, although i'm sure a lot of normalness has already left your upbringing due to the success of your family's tv show.

what bugs me most about your show is that while the its success is probably due to the cuteness of your younger siblings, i'm sure several people watch you, specifically, and are saddened or disappointed with your spoiledness. "what a spoiled bitch" they might think to themselves. again i say this to you, it's not your fault. it's not your fault that your childhood is shown on one of the most watched shows in the country. people all over this nation are more spoiled than you seem, and a lot of them are already full grown adults. i personally know some folks that look at you with contempt while i know that they themselves are more spoiled than they think they are, and it disgusts me as much as a prostitute's underwear would.

really mady, you just need to keep acting they way you feel. that's what kids are supposed to do. soon enough you'll go on a retreat in highschool and realize that you should be thankful for your family, and yada yada yada, you'll reach an epiphany and save the world. but for now, you are perfectly fine the way you are, relatively speaking.

maybe i'll meet you someday.

your friend,
josh
