This story is about a year old but the TV episode of "my crazy obsession" is on the box in Oz today. I didn't want to embarrass myself admitting that I watch this crap (Pawn Stars, Hardcore Pawn, American Restoration, Canadian Pickers etc etc) but there's a little Nelson Muntz of Simpsons fame inside of me who loves saying "Har Har" to these types of things
I am mortified. Absolutely gobsmacked. It's like something out of a horror movie. One very screwed up couple in the US have five thousand cabbage patch kids.
Each one has a name and personality. And there is a "favourite" called Kevin who goes everywhere with them and apparently makes all the decisions in life for them. They've spent $250k on a house for them all, planning a $150k extension and have all up spent close to $1m on their "family".
I give up, this floored me when I saw it. It is the most outrageously antimustachian story I have ever heard. Sure you get billionaires blowing up cash on a yacht or jet or whatever, but they have the means to do it. These guys? Relative to their incomes this is totally, incredibly outrageously fucked up. Even their daughter thinks so, the poor soul has to put up with being treated equally with Kevin and the other "brothers and sisters".
Since you can't see what I'm seeing on TV now, I've provided a link to the story below.
