TLC cancels '19 Kids and Counting'
After more than a month in limbo, the network decides to officially axe the popular show and says it's committed to educating the public about sexual abuse.
"We spent the past month and a half in thoughtful consideration about what is the best way forward here. It's no secret that '19 Kids and Counting' was a really, really hit show. But we have some other great shows, both on the air and in the pipeline. " Marjorie Kaplan, group president of TLC, Animal Planet and Velocity networks.

1470 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1470 Newer› Newest»Yeah, Boscov's is going to be brought to its knees over security footage-gate.
Everything Kate touche turns to shit because her minions attack anyone and anything that disagrees with their Queen.
Calling for the firing of an employee is truly despicable. Do they really want someone to lose their income and health insurance because Kate Gosselin darkened their doors for her annual back to school exploitation?
It's a knee jerk reaction to try to destroy people's lives, and their cavalier attitude shows who they really are.
And we're the mean ones? OK.
''The Twitter name is the name of the two employees. I thought Twitter's new policy no longer allowed you to impersonate.''

Admin, I believe that that account was created by a KK fan, because according to that candydishes person following the account of:
''Josh and Tatiana
@josh_an_tatiana
Official LULZ Parody account of Tatiana Rodriguez and Josh Kronoff. Employees who released company video footage.''
"An Open Secret" is a new documentary about child abuse in Hollywood. It's rated R and has a limited release because people are named. Corey Feldman and Todd Bridges are both in it and i heard it might not go to Netflix or Amazon because Hollywood bigwigs don't want people to see it.
Official LULZ Parody account of Tatiana Rodriguez and Josh Kronoff. Employees who released company video footage.''
*****
Is there proof of this? I missed it.
Flimsy (198)thanks, it was a booyah to the baa-baas, being as we are a bunch of bitter black-hearted busybodies.
~~~~
"Official LULZ Parody account" sounds suspiciously like a BV wannabe.
Boscov's will not take a hit. It's a pretty popular store around here. Partly because around here it's a big presence and partly because Al Boscov is very involved in the community. Next, it will not take a hit because nobody knows about this supposed scandal! Only those of us here and those on Kate's twitter even know. The complainers have never and will never spend a dollar at Boscov's because they live far away.
I truly hope some store manager is laughing his head off over these idiotic form letters. PA Dutch Mom, you could write a different letter. You actually are a real customer.

--------------
Yes, that's the header or profile at the top of this Twitter page. You can see it here: https://twitter.com/josh_an_tatiana . The account can be reported to Twitter pretty easily, directly from the actual account by clicking on what looks like a wheel and then following directions. Because the creator used the word "parody" in the title, it apparently makes it harder to get it banned. In this case, the account is pure harassment so perhaps at some point Twitter will get around to doing its job. But the damage to these two kids has already been done.

The letter was written by someone in BV's camp. You can tell by the phrasing, writing style, wording, etc. Aren't the three sheep who started this mess part of BV's harassing brigade?

Proof? What sort of ''proof'' do you want? I c/p exactly what was on the twitter timeline of that candy person when she followed the account!
Kate has no balls and no moral compass whatsoever. If she did, she'd fire off tweets telling these people to knock it off right now because she is not going to be associated with any of this garbage they are spewing forth. I'd actually give her kudos for doing that. But, unfortunately, that's never going to happen. You'd think after that cruise fiasco she would have duct-taped the Detective's hands together and read her the riot act.
I am up large because I got a Tim Dorsey novel at the library today and I laughed all evening! It's Shark Skin Suite and stars the most fascinating and funny serial killer in literature, Serge Storms! Plus his sidekick Coleman, a wacky cast of characters, and most of the bars in Key West and the lower Keys.

Thanks for the suggestion, Joy. I'm going to read it. I think that I know most of the bars in Key West! :)
Have you read Murder On Tiki Island (set in the Florida Keys) by Christopher Pinto? You might like to try that one. He's also written Murder Behind The Closet Door and Murder Under The Boards (Atlantic City).

I don't see how they couldn't be rolling on the floor. It's hilarious.
What the sheep have effectively done by writing that letter is to convince Boscov's to forbid Kate and TLC to ever film in their store again. She's not worth the trouble.
Nice going, sheep. I'm sure your queen appreciates your meddling in her celebrity-ish career.
Oh and what's a "serious hit" anyway? lol.

))))))))))))))))
You just have to wonder why those sheep are so mean-spirited, bitter and nasty that they would stoop to harassing a teenager. What in their lives has made them so emotionally and intellectually stunted? If they have families, which I assume that they do, are the people in their "real" life aware what they do on the internet? If they have kids, what kind of an example does this set for them when a parent stalks, torments and bullies someone to the point of trying to get that person fired?
I don't understand it, but then again, I wasn't raised that way, and if they have issues going on in their lives and this harassment is the manifestation of of those issues, wouldn't someone at least recognize that they need professional help and assist them in seeing that they get it? Or are they just lonely people seeking attention and this is the only thing that works for them?

There is a photo that was tweeted by the smart-aleck Josh kid. The photo was tweeted to the Teresa person. It is supposedly a photo of her with her cell phone pointed at a computer screen that is filled with shots of the various departments within the store (the computer scree is filled with shots, not the cell phone. There is also a photo the Josh kid tweeted of a woman in the store and he tweeted "only at Boscovs."
The kid is an idiot for doing that. Kate's bullyville minion, who is an adult, is a fuck weasel for spending the better part of a day threatening various teens and others and boasting and crowing about his secret hacker-agent power to destroy anyone who gets in his path. I wonder what his cape looks like, other than drenched with sweat and stinking of bo.

Yes, they didn't learn from the cruise disaster.
I don't know if anyone here remembers the "New Sheriff In Town" from the GWOP blog, but this really reminds me of that in which someone tries to come across as being serious, but ends up as nothing more than a joke.
I wouldn't think that Boscov's team is stupid. They will recognize this as coming from idiots. I do think, though, that these sheeple should be darn careful because one of these days they will do this to someone who isn't going to laugh it off and they will respond in a way that may send the sheeple hiding in the barn.
I'm sure that Boscov's is shaking in their boots..so scared of the imminent boycott by TFW's fans....all six of them...who don't even live in the area.
Or maybe it's her 1.2 million twitter followers, 98% of whom are fake.
Reminds me of the Philly reporter who said that he was tired of the barrage of tweets, etc. re:TFW. From both sides. So tired of it that he was refusing to report any further on it.
Guess their barrage did not have the intended effect, eh?
It seems like society has gotten so contentious with the rise of social media.
Here they had a baby crawling contest. So much contention, and a barrage of emails, tweets, etc., about who should have won that the responsible party said that if there is this much grief next year that they'll just cancel it. It's not worth the hassle to them. Sad.
The store needs to contact TLC and tell them to stick their filming of the store up their a**. Talk about some crazy people that love their queen. If I were the president of that store, I'd make a statement if TLC does not cooperate. This was supposed to be GOOD publicity for the store, instead it's a nightmare.

You would think Katie's road manager, Skeeve, would her to tell those clowns to cool it. Maybe he really no longer cares one way or the other about her and is just in it for the money and freebies.

As opposed to a "humorous hit"...it must be sheeple speak for "do what we want or we will stomp our hooves & say baaad things about your business on twitter because we are powerful in our own minds"
How far would the Bullyville wannabe's go to be the "cool kids" camp? this far...it's almost like McGibney himself speaking, or twittering reading only two threats to the young man who came to Tatiana's aid. Bitter thugs they are threatening the boy with contacting his school and just so the young man knows they mean business, they tweet out his mother's name and a little of her details...and they then have the temerity to call the young man and Tatiana bullies!!!
So sickening...

&&&&&&&
It is now! LOL!
I, too, wonder about these sheeple. It sounds like as youngsters they may have been anti-establishment, trying to stir up trouble, rebelling, and they were unsuccessful. Now, in their adulthood, they associate with the bad guys because it's the cool thing to do, making a feeble attempt to be something that they weren't able to be when they were young.
Sometimes psychological arm-chairing can be dead-on target, and other times one can be way off base, but it's fun to give it a try.
If I were the president of that store, I'd make a statement if TLC does not cooperate.
&&&&&&&&&&&
Cooperate with what? Is it really in the best interest of the store to make a statement? I would imagine that they would just dismiss this as some idiot fans trying to stir up trouble, and the more attention called to it, the worse it could get. With people like this, it's best to just let it blow over. The store knows what it is doing and they can handle it as they see appropriate.
Katie or her team isn't bright enough to realize that if she came to defense of the teen she could get some legitimate press and media attention. Duh. Instead she prefers to be defended on Twitter by six maniacs. Good choice moron.

No, it was not. The only photo I saw they posted was an office photo that showed the security screen in the background. There were so many cameras on you couldn't possibly make out Kate on them much less anyone else. It didn't look like they were trying to show footage of the screen but just posting a photo of where they were hanging out. The actual video posted did not appear to be from security footage but rather from the vantage point of exactly where you said. Much ado about NOTHING.
Sometimes psychological arm-chairing can be dead-on target, and other times one can be way off base, but it's fun to give it a try.

Yes. I think it makes them feel powerful and cool, like they didn't as a child, to be able to interfere with someone's private life. So ironic, since this whole thing has been about their objection to privacy being invaded. The only thing I can say is it's too bad they don't get therapy.
I'm sure that Boscov's is shaking in their boots..so scared of the imminent boycott by TFW's fans....all six of them...who don't even live in the area.
&&&&
I was wondering if any of these sheeple have ever even been in one of these stores. We don't even have one where I am, and I've never heard of it before, even having lived in PA for years. Never saw one. If you don't even shop there what do you care? Mind your own beeswax.
I imagine this sort of behavior contributed to the demise of the cruise. It got to be so much trouble and was scaring off so many paying customers they just called it quits. Good job, sheep.
These sheep are just too darn dumb to know that when they do this kind of thing it will inevitably backfire on them. All they will succeed in doing is to make Kate look bad because it shows what kind of nutcases she has as fans, and that when these fans get their hooves into something that is none of their business, the Kate Curse continues. Whatever she and these idiotic fans touch turns into sheep droppings.

Sure, he's an idiot. But he's not the only teen to be a goofball at his minimum wage summer job. Happens all the time. Especially in the era of smartphones. Teens are idiots in general, and it's what you get when you hire them. I'm sure this business is well aware of that.
It's not the sheeple's problem to be concerned about how a company deals with their idiot teen employees. It's really not. Neither is it a sheeple's place to tattle. They are not some hole in the wall mom and pop store. They are clearly a big, although regional, powerhouse. Butt out and let them handle their own issues. This kid will make some more mistakes, learn from them, eventually grow up and probably turn out just fine, and doesn't need some stranger to help the normal process along.
I have to get Milo major props for staying the hell out of this one. She's tweeting away, so she's active, and surely she's aware of it.
For once, she has some common sense. I can't dare hope she would tell them to knock it off, which would be even better, but ignoring it is good too. Of course she's acting like Kate's personal PR person again but no matter. Seriously if I saw a tweet like that I would assume that's someone's actual assistant. Who says this?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Admin, google it on Wiki. The founder was an immigrant who came to this country with less than two dollars in his pocket and his son turned it into a billion dollar enterprise. I remember several years ago when they were on the verge of bankruptcy, and the locals were holding their breath because the store had become such an important part of the Reading and Lancaster shopping communities. It's once again back on its feet and from what I hear, is turning profits and opening more stores. It has quite a history in this area.
It shouldn't be okay to simply slap "parody" on an account and make it okay when you are clearly impersonating a private person, a teenager no less, and using their first and last name. It's harassment pure and simple, and I think that's just as bad, if not worse, than some stupid impulsive teen posting a teeny tiny photo of a security screen in which you can't even see Kate in, or anyone.
The only thing I can say is it's too bad they don't get therapy.
&&&&&&&&&&
Are they dangerous, and I mean this with all seriousness. Could they end up physically hurting others or themselves if they refuse therapy?
Yes I read about them, and they sound like a company huge enough to not give this the time of day.
I'm surprised I never noticed them having spent awhile in the area. But I don't do much shopping in storefronts, I do it mostly online, and I'm fiercely loyal to a few stores. Lord and Taylor is really the only regional east coast store I frequent. I have no doubt they'll be able to identify the crazy conspiratorial feedback and file it away in the nutso folder every big business has.

I have no idea about those folks, but the vast majority of the mentally ill are not dangerous in the slightest, wouldn't hurt a fly. Even if they sound terribly angry, as they often do, they don't act on it. That's not so say you should blow someone off as all bluster, but usually that's all it is.

Damn dumb is putting it nicely!
In the past when they rallied to Kate's defense, many more sheeple would be screaming, tweeting and blogging. Maybe I missed something, but it does seem that the number of fans trying oh so hard to help her out (by getting two teens fired) has lessened. Those that continue to bleat look to be from the Bullyville camp.
I just looked at Kate's TL and the one insane Twitter biotch just tweeted an article about a "Tatiana" from 2008 in which this person got into some trouble and was suspended or expelled from school.
What in the name of all that's holy makes someone this nasty and cruel, and then she has the cajoles to call the non-fans bitter black-hearted busybodies. I don't get it. I really don't. Good gawd, sheeple, look in the mirror!
They really do need professional intervention. Now. These are not nice people.

I think there's more than one insane Twitter biotch! We've all been saying for many years that it's SO apparent that these people - many who've openly spoken of their kids and grandkids - need a psych intervention. But often people with the most serious mental health issues are unable to see their need for help. If they act like this, imagine how their kids and grandkids must act, or will act. Children mimic what they see and these Tweeters won't be able to hide their timelines and blog posts from their kids, who are probably a lot smarter and will have better discovery tools than their parents.
What? Why on earth would I have a link to proof that this was security footage? I have nothing to do with any of the accusations or responses to any of that silly mess!!

I'm sorry, Remona. Somehow these posts took on a life of their own and got messed up. My question if you had a link to security footage was an honest one, not intended to anger you or put you on the spot.

Didn't everyone have a grandma, or mom, or someone that told them turn the other cheek?
Even if the teen or teens were being nasty, turn the other cheek. Ignore it, don't engage. Be an adult. When teens make mistakes the worst thing we can do as grown adults is get down in the mud with them and act like spoiled children too. That's not how they learn.
What's more, it's not THEIR cheek to turn. It's KATE'S. BUTT OUT.

Thank you for the apology, even though you do NOT owe me one!! My original post was simply responding to Admin about the parody account, and think I got 'testy' since that was the second time I'd been asked the question for ''proof''. I should have read your question the way you meant it to be...have I seen a link to the proof that it was security. It was very nice of you to apologize when I was the one that got testy!

There's danger and then there's danger. I have no idea if they could get physically or personally violent, but isn't calling someone's employer, landlord, or finding someone's friends and relatives on Facebook or on phone websites and then trashing you a form of danger? Quite a few sheeple have done all these things and more. Stuff like this goes beyond harassment.

There appear to be several Rodriguezes in Lebanon, Pa. - over 20 diffferent listings. The article Gee Whiz posted is dated Dec. 2008. That would make that Tatiana Rodriguez 25 now. The Tatiana involved in this overblown fiasco tweeted (before she deleted her account and before she tweeted about Kate) that her mother was going to buy her a car when she turned 21.

I was sitting on my front porch, drinking a Long Island iced tea and not quite yet tipsy. I was thinking about the events of the past few days and did some philosophical thinking. What makes someone so cruel and nasty? It seems that these sheep somehow missed the 60s and 70s era of love, peace and feeling groovy, and just went right into an age of combativeness and anything goes
I wonder if, somewhere in their past, they were bullied and now, so many years later, they are reaching out in retaliation. It doesn't matter who their victims are, gender or age. It's just a bizarre vengeance in which they get some kind of strange satisfaction hurting others in the way they were hurt. What did they do before the days of Twitter and social media to inflict their meanness and cruelty on others?
It's incredibly ironic that a few of these sheeple found each other in the same boat, banded together and went hell bent on a campaign to torment others. Who will be the flavor of the month in August? Do they flip a coin and then decide the identity and fate of their next victims?
Back to my iced tea and some wonderful crab-stuffed mushrooms!
Administrator, Where were your cries to butt out yesterday when your poster bragged about how she was going to call the "big cheese" about this? I completely disagree with what these people have done, but your hypocrisy is glaring.
****
My understanding is a local offered to come to the defense of those who were being harassed by calling someone they knew at the store and explaining the situation. I call that the moral thing to do. On what planet is coming to someone's aid when they are being unjustly kicked around "bullying"? Not my planet.

I read that post and there was no bragging involved. The person asked the opinion of others and wasn't sure whether or not to make the call. I also noticed that she (or he) posted that there would be no follow-up, and if that person wanted to brag and get in the middle of things, I'm sure there would have been subsequent comments posted from that blogger about the result of that call.

Yes, according to the article, that girl was 18 in 2008 which makes her older than 21 now!. Good find, Sue!
Oops. Wrong Rodriguez. Not very good detective work on her part.

Quite honestly, it's really getting old and wears thin after awhile. If they are so aggrieved, then why not just find another blog that is more to their liking? Then again, I guess perhaps the "fun" of it is to pick apart and dissect. Same old, same old.

I read that post and there was no bragging involved. The person asked the opinion of others and wasn't sure whether or not to make the call. I also noticed that she (or he) posted that there would be no follow-up, and if that person wanted to brag and get in the middle of things, I'm sure there would have been subsequent comments posted from that blogger about the result of that call.
$$$
Yes. And I didn't respond to the comment one way or another. Though in thinking about t now I see nothing wrong or hypocritical about coming to the aid of someone being bullied. The issue is it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Once it did happen I have no problem if someone feels it's the moral thing to do to try to defuse things. It's hardly the same thing as whining about a celebrity's privacy rights, asking that someone be fired and starting something up this out of control. The glaring difference is our poster was not doing it to go after those two sheeple but rather to help someone. The sheeple's purpose was not to be morally protective and help, but rather to attack and get someone fired. If our poster dealt with it by calling the sheeple's employer and getting them fired then hypocrisy makes sense. That's simple not what happened.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

In GW's case? Bad genes, inbreeding? She's got some pages stuck together in the brain department if you get my drift.
This is just awful the way these insane tweeters are harassing those kids! It brings back memories of that one who tortured me. I told the Boscov girl when I talked to her about the way they did me and she couldn't believe it. Poor thing, she must be really upset now.
Hopefully Boscov will not take strict action on the kids. Dag Nab those tweeters are horrible!
Either the girl did something she shouldn't have and got called out for it or she didn't. Both sides are making a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

I agree with you what happened is really "nothing" but I imagine that young woman thinks it's a very big deal that some stranger has taken it upon themselves to personally contact their employer and demand that she be fired in no uncertain terms.
If we don't think that's a big deal, we're getting blasé. Put yourself in her shoes.
I agree with your there is snipping back and forth that's just all silliness and nonsense. Most of the time, sure. But this went way beyond that when they wrote a letter specifically requesting, very clearly, that this young woman be fired. That will never NOT be a big deal, nor should it be. They made it so. It never should have gone this far, and that can only be blamed on the sheeple that escalated it. Even some of the regular sheeple like Milo know not to support them, and that speaks volumes to how far they really took this.

I'm sure the young woman does think it's a big deal. Again, I don't in any way, shape or form condone what was done. Putting her in the middle of the Gosselin saga is not helping. The more people here jump to her defense, the more the other side will feel compelled to keep going after her. She is now a pawn in a ridiculous back and forth.
This is RIDICULOUS! If the girl posted security footage, the store will take whatever action they choose based on their policy. If she didn't, then the letter will be laughed at and thrown in the trash. Anon 4 This couldn't actually come to the girl's defense, because she doesn't know for certain where the footage came from. What if it was security footage?
&&&&
She's not my heroine. She sounds like a nice person that just wants to explain hey these folks do this all the time, take it with a grain of salt. I would appreciate some context if I were an employer. Or they won't, and they are free to ignore their friend if they like, but that's up to them, not you. This teen cannot easily explain that this happened all the time as she doesn't know who these people are and that they do it all the time. I see nothing wrong with that. Or stay out of it, I don't care.
I posted that poem because you said we shouldn't come to someone's aid when someone is going after them. I disagree with that, even if it's over something small and silly. Persecution always starts small.
And again, this is suddenly not so silly or small when someone is trying to get someone else fired. It escalated. I agree with you the initial situation is dumb, silly, inconsequential. That's not my issue. The issue is we're talking about someone's employment now. That's not so small, even if it's just a teen summer job.
Admin said....
you truly, truly feel that something immoral or illegal has happened, I understand informing the company. But to take it a step further and tell them exactly how to handle it, including that they should fire someone, is simple insane. It's not your business how they choose to handle it, and it's not your business to tell them what to do with an employee based on just some short video you saw on the internet, especially before the employer has investigated and they employee has been given an opportunity to defend themselves. Even if it happened exactly as they say, the employer may be much more comfortable with simply TALKING to the employee about it. However they want to handle it, it's none of their business or concern
-----
I completely agree with this. I owned a small business that worked in people's homes. We would occasionally get calls about employee driving, or that they smoked around the house. No one ever insisted that they be fired--they were just calling our attention to unprofessional behavior.
Either the clip was or was not security tape. If it was (and I have no idea whether it was) and I was the employer, I would fire the employee. In the current retail environment, I think that posting negative remarks about a customer--not to mention posting photos and video--would be of concern to management. Whether the employee would be fired would depend on their record of behavior, and what the motivation was. It sounded like her post came from a sense of loyalty to her co-workers, who put considerable time and effort into getting the place cleaned up, in case her royal highness deigned to grace their department. Loyalty to the team is a worthy trait, but posting the comments did show poor judgement, and does not reflect well on the company. Even if no one is hurt, it is just unprofessional. But, the 'situation' can present a teachable moment and training for the employees. Just as poor driving didn't reflect well on my company, I am quite sure that Boscov's does not want customers to be concerned that unguarded moments may be captured and publicly posted.
Just because a few crazed steeple piled on does not make the post appropriate or warranted, and does not mean that the act was not unprofessional.
I have no doubt that the haterz will have figured out that they, too, can send letters threatening to boycott if the employees are fired. And round and round they go....

I actually think you're completely right and this is the first comment you've ever made that I have to say amen to.
I think people here truly feel for her and don't want some dumb mistake or no mistake at all to hurt her, because there are nice people here--but when you're dealing with mental illness apparently all that does is egg them on. They can't be reasoned with. So, you're right. Broken clock and all that I suppose, eh? I TEASE.
Oh and I actually said it didn't so much bother me an employer was contacted if you TRULY (and not just because you hate the person or what they believe) have proof (and not just your imagination based on 5% of the story) something immoral or illegal is happening, but I said my bigger issue was in how they demanded it be handled. When I was referring to not their business, I was clear I was saying it in the context of it's not their business to tell an employer how to handle their problems. I never said it was not their business if they wanted to report a TRUE crime or misconduct. In fact, you probably should. Just like it's fine to come to the aid of someone when you truly believe they are being wronged, as is here.

I don't know. I've been watching internet nastiness since 1991 or 92, when there were only bulletin boards run by nasty, nerdy types who verbally blasted anyone to smithereens who dared post something on their sacred ground. It was really ugly and totally uncalled for. I was always of the opinion that these nerds finally had control of something that the masses didn't understand and it gave them a feeling of omnipotence. The bully boys sound just like those nerds of old and their wannabes try and imitate them. Maybe they have past hurts they try and assuage those feelings by bullying. I don't have sympathy for them, however. Many, many, beyond many get over those past hurts and move on. These people don't.

This is true, and when they go off on their insane rants on Twitter, the non-fans should just ignore it. I know it must be difficult for the non-fans to sit and watch, but really, they shouldn't take the bait because it serves no purpose except to feed their need for attention.
It is impossible to reason with those kinds of people. You would never get anywhere because they don't have the ability to think logically or critically. The intelligence just isn't there, and all one has to do is to read their tweets and their timeline to see that those just aren't rational people, but rather angry, immature adults who will lash out at anyone, at any time.
Anon 4 This couldn't actually come to the girl's defense, because she doesn't know for certain where the footage came from. What if it was security footage?

I think you're reading way too much into Anon's post. Nowhere did she say the purpose of the call was to come to the girl's defense, nor did she say that she knew it was or wasn't security footage or whatever. What I got from that post is that she simply wanted to talk to her friend at the store and apprise them of what is going on, some background info on the fans that started this entire thing, and from there the store could do whatever they wanted with the information. If I were at the helm of a business enterprise like that store, I would appreciate a heads up about what is going down.

IMO, there is absolutely no reason for a real customer to jump to that conclusion. Her Royal Heinous was there, not as a customer, but as a celebrity with her security and film crew. It's too much of a leap. Apples and Oranges.
I don't know if these people are dangerous (physically) or violent, but in reading some of their tweets, and one person in particular, I certainly wouldn't want to be near her if something really sets her off, all hell breaks loose and she explodes in a fit of anger. Some of those are really scary people.

If someone doesn't read all the comments, and they aren't checking out the various twitter accounts, they're not fully informed.

Sounds like that's in a similar vein to "People of Walmart." It's a perfectly legal web site and I just checked, it's still going strong. Kids like to imitate stuff like that. Not my cup of tea, but when you are out and about in public there's always a chance someone will take your picture. What's more, here there should have been clear signs warning them they are walking into a filming area. They were only targeted because Kate was there. If you don't want to be caught up in a celeb's nonsense, turn around the other way when you see those signs. I do and it's really not a big deal.

You are certainly free to have you opinion. I gave my perspective as a business owner. Whether or not anyone thinks that doesn't really matter. It is the fact that someone might think that. Companies are extremely sensitive about social media, in which a mob mentality can quickly emerge out of nowhere. JMHO, of course.
That's pretty defective detective work if she looked for Tatiana Rodriguez in Lebanon. That's not where Park City is. And the way people move in and out of Reading, Lancaster, and Lebanon, I would not be sure that any one worker had been in the area her whole life. This tweeter is vindictive and I believe would ruin the life of every Tatiana Rodriguez in the US just to be sure she got this one. It's too bad she never learned a different hobby before twitter came along.

Upon closer examination just now (I enlarged the photo Jose tweeted of a customer) there IS a time stamp on it. So it appears there is video with a time stamp-security camera? How can one be sure? Can't read the full date. It looks like something 14 2015 12:5 something. The braggart bully who made the twitter account solely to harass the kids said Jose has done it before.

Most likely she just googled the name and PA, and that is that article popped up. She wouldn't have googled TR in Lebanon because she would have no idea that there is a city of Lebanon in PA. She saw the name, saw it was a teen in PA and just assumed it was the same girl. She wouldn't have bothered to check the date of the incident, nor the current age of the young woman.

So Kate, Trump said he does not like losers, I guess this puts you on his list of losers, you lost CA.

Yes. On Twitter they can vent and vent and bait and bait to their hearts' content. They are directly engaging the haters in conversation, and that is what they need to sustain them...the back and forth slams, bashing. They need that audience, and on blogs such as this, even though they may read here, they don't get that direct interaction that keeps them alive.

Exactly. They are being used, but they can't see that. If you consider that this is so cult-like, it really isn't all that different than Jonestown, only on a smaller scale. He didn't care for his followers either, he used them, and yet, they remained loyal until the end. I guess brainwashing is a pretty powerful drug, and even if you do "get it" in the end, by then it's often too late. The Kool-Aid has been guzzled, and there really is nothing left.

I finally got around to looking at TFW twitter feed. Goodness!
Talk about stalking a teen...(not smooth)....who had the audacity to minimally criticize a celebrity...who was out in public, with a camera crew, fame-whoring...again.
Then ferret out details about a name, any name, don't check to see if it really is (or logically could be) the person in question. Plaster some OTHER person's private details on TFW's twitter. Nice.
Joy, if you enjoy Key West mysteries, there's a fairly new series by Lucy Burdette that's set there. The central character is a food critic for a Key West magazine and there's a lot of local color. There are six books so far, first is "An Appetite For Murder".
I've been reading all the kerfuffle about the young Boscov employee. SMH. I have no words. Those sheeple are sick, sick, sick.

I wonder, though, if they are like this in their real life interactions with people, or if this vile, cruel nasty thing they have going on is only to get the attention they crave on the internet. They have seemed to have developed an intimate bond with people of their kind on Twitter, going all out in their relationships as they think the "bad boy" outspoken brash image is one way to establish power and just show those in social media that they are not to be messed with.

Very pretty lady.
Please, Jon, stay as private as you possibly can and for Pete's sake, do NOT do a reality tv show!
I often wonder if they're not pretty powerless in their real lives. Or maybe they're the blowhards that no one wants to associate with.

True. If you read the timelines, who would want to associate with anyone like that in real life? Perhaps the internet is all they have.
Jon looks happy. I wish him happiness in his new relationship!

If one misses Kate, others will miss Kate. It's kind of like typical sheep behavior. If one leaps off a cliff, the others will follow.
I would also recommend to Jon that he take things a little slower. Dating 9 months and living together 8 months. I would tell him he should date for 6 months to a year without moving in. However, his girlfriends have to bear some responsibility as well. It's easy to google him and see this is his trend. She didn't have to agree to it.
I do hope she is a good person and a stable influence.

I think Milo needs to read the article again. Definitely NOT THW's kind of parenting.
I hit publish too soon. Here's the first part of the article.
Want to steer your kids on a path toward becoming successful grownups? Skip the self-esteem building and afterschool tutors and instead encourage them to share, cooperate, and show kindness.
I really don't see that with the 8. I see fighting (physically hitting, pushing, etc), arguing and general ill manners.

~~~~~~
You are so right. If one misses her, they all do. If one praises her, they all fall over themselves to praise her. They act like a bunch of lemmings!
Then, if one is angry with someone and bashes that person, they suddenly become a mob. They're not just a mob, but an angry mob that will do anything at all to 'pay back' the person they've decided to attack. Once they are in attack mode, they seem to compete to see who can be the nastiest!
Watching their behavior is like watching that old movie The Ox-Bow Incident, when a mob hangs an innocent man.

Oh, geez. This will bring the Sheep out of the barn to ask for the recipes.
Where's Gladys?
Well, I thought Kate was a GREAT COOK! She bragged for years on what a great cook she is. I also thought she was pieceing & patching the finances. So now for $60 for 3 meals, for 2 people or $139 for 4 people, Kate is ordering meals that come with all the parts, so you cook it at home from Blueapron.
Must be nice to throw money and at the same time bitch you have none. What happen the that chef she had quit! Or is Kate getting lazy.
The Midas Touch strikes again. Kate's photo of her Blue Apron paint-by-numbers-meal looks like crap.
She looks like she duped people into believing she wrote her own recipes because she's actually now cooking from cue cards using pre-portioned meal ingredients in sinfully wasteful packaging, which costs a lot of money for the convenience.
Can you imagine what a meal for 9 would cost?

Just go to the seafood counter at Giant and purchase your salmon there. Grill it and put it over some lettuce. Done.
Why would you tweet a picture of it, acknowledge the company, if you are not grifting for freebies, especially if you are the author of a best-selling cookbook that has reached millions of cooks?
I bet Kravitz has already ordered a week's supply for LOM and her two kids, real or imaginary!

She managed to get in the fact that they're a family of 9 (she has 8 kids you know) and she remembered to include @blurapron. Even when she's provided with all the ingredients AND pictures of how the finished product should look she still plates for shit. Piecing and patching my arse.

What "honest review" did Kate give? I must have missed that critique coming from the author of a best selling cookbook!
For crap's sake, I thought all she did was grill salmon and plop it on a salad. Last night, we grilled (on family vacation with the extended fam) 4 fillets of salmon from Costco, served it with steamed broccoli and homemade pasta salad, served 12. Not so difficult. Yep, her budget really needs to stretch to BlueApron. Those kids will be even skinnier in no time. What a tool.

Fleecing and Sherry Baby isn't it hilarious how everyday expressions become " Internet slang" like " just saying". Or when people are not familiar with common sayings from other parts of the country they tend to not make sense. When I watch house shows from back East a comment that is always used is " that's what I'm talking about". What??
What are you talking about??? Or someone (me) used the expression " I'm not consumed by Kate " which means I don't think about her every minute of the day and someone said Kate wasn't going to eat me. Now that was funny! Throw in the mix people from different parts of the country or other countries.
I find the internet very entertaining! There are people who critique others comments but at the same time they themselves are inarticulate and have equal or worse writing skills. Ahhh, social media what are you going to do. Everything changes yet stays the same.
Have a nice night!

Wasteful packaging...meh. Duping people...meh... All in a day in the life of Kate Gosselin. She's a fraud and she doesn't care who knows it just as long as she gets what she wants.
The worst part is that she's got kids who might have learned from her that being a scam artist is a perfectly fine way to make a living.

Hey, Kate -- you like freebies! Appleebee's is offering a free appetizer sampler tomorrow. Just passing that along...
TFW has no job -- why does she need to cut corners time-wise
to feed her family? Is she trying to hawk this to reinforce her
busy-busy-single-mom-on-the-go role?
I wonder when Deanna will see the light with TFW. Everyone
does eventually, but usually not until being kicked to the curb.
Hey, Deanna, when you've got a sec, check out some clips on
youtube of 2 women named Beth and Jodi. See how much
your best friend loved them, and all they did for her? How
come they seem to have fallen off the face of the earth?
I think this was the same company that was on Shark Tank. If not they were an identical competitor. I remember looking at their web site when they were on. I like the idea in theory actually as a very quick and easy way to go through the motions of cooking a hot meal without actually having to think. Kind of like how now you can buy pre-made pre-portioned cookie dough and you just pop them on a tray and bake. But of course it's just way too expensive. It really should be hands off for anyone but the 1 per centers. You're much better off spending a few hours every weekend meal planning and writing out your shopping list and even cutting things up and getting everything ready to go for a quick meal if you must. I'd hate to see any of her sheeple taken in by such a thing. She gets them into lots of bad ideas like this, that wantables or whatever thing was the latest.
At her age, she should have at least a week's worth of healthy, easy, go-to recipes memorized that she can make over and over, including a nice salmon and vegetable dish everyone likes. Cooking is a pain when you first get started but by 40 this sort of thing should no longer be a hardship, it should run like clockwork, sparing the need for something like Blue Ribbon.
TFW had one-on-one cooking lessons from Sara Snow and
Emeril, and wrote her own cookbook. And now she's hawking
pre-packaged meals?

&&&&
Laziness.
It really is targeted for young professionals and young parents, white collar, high income, city-dwelling, 10-12 hour workdays who still want to feel normal by cooking a real meal for their spouse or kids. It was never marketed to stay at home moms that I ever saw. The point is you have no time to shop, recipe plan and cook but this allows you to do all that in a quarter of the time with no thinking involved after your brain is fried from work.
That is such a sham and a shame that now the famous Love is in the Mix author has to grift for free food that you make at home. And it looks like absolute ________________.
She is stretching what money she has left as far as she possibly can. I just hope Blue Apron isn't donating that food to her to cook and brag on. The food looks like an appetizer on CHOPPED and boy would the chef that prepared that garbage would get a tongue lashing.
Like someone said. She could of went to Giant got a salmon filet 2 of them and even the fishman would of cut it up in filets for her for free. Take it home, put them in a ziplock bag, dump a bottle of Italian dressing into a bowl, squeeze some lemon and lime, cilantro, dill.
Dump into the Ziploc bag.
Let it chill in the fridge for an hour. While they chill, fix potatoes to bake and put them in the oven. Make a big bowl of salad, with all the fixings. Desert, buy some ding dongs put them on a saucer and put a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream beside it.
Then donate the difference of the meal you cooked at home from the Blue Apron meals and donate it to the food pantry.
How hard is that?
If her and deannatweeting were at her house cooking and having fun, then does this mean that the kids were with Jon?
Saw the picture of Jon and Colleen. Wow. She is pretty. Much better looking than TFW. They look happy together.
TFW always looks ticked off. Always.
Blowing in the wind, 113..."Yes. On Twitter they can vent and vent and bait and bait to their hearts' content. They are directly engaging the haters in conversation, and that is what they need to sustain them...the back and forth slams, bashing. They need that audience, and on blogs such as this, even though they may read here, they don't get that direct interaction that keeps them alive"
------------------------
Yes. You're talking about the sheeple, correct? I totally agree. Those who have taken Boscov's to task, pick and choose the people they want to target (youngsters and the elderly) do so on Twitter because that's where they get the reaction and attention they think they deserve. I know it's easy to say that the non-fans should ignore them and not take the bait, but you know, sometimes that's easier said than done. When they just keep going after a non-fan, or someone like the young teen employee who was their recent target, it's difficult to stay quiet on that and not come to the defense of those who are being harassed.
Blowing, 114..."Exactly. They are being used, but they can't see that. If you consider that this is so cult-like, it really isn't all that different than Jonestown, only on a smaller scale. He didn't care for his followers either, he used them, and yet, they remained loyal until the end. I guess brainwashing is a pretty powerful drug, and even if you do "get it" in the end, by then it's often too late. The Kool-Aid has been guzzled, and there really is nothing left."
-------------------
Haven't some sheep deflected, though? It doesn't appear that there are nearly as many die-hards that were there before. The young ones who pop up, praise Kate and ask dumb questions, give it a once and done shot and then are never heard from again.
So funny. I was thinking, wouldn't it be funny if TLC did go ahead and cancel TFW, Kate plus 8 and then a couple of days later VH1 asks Jon to do a documentary about him entering the DJ entertainment world and just film him only. No kids, no girlfriend. Just him.
Can you imagine how ballistic TFW would be?
Call Me Crazy - I enjoy your recent posting discussing Caitlyn Jenner and the publicity she is getting, vs. the reality for most transgendered people. I would also add that while this publicity and public discussion may feel like too much for some people, it's an important step in the process of helping inform the general public and hopefully with a greater understanding will come a greater acceptance, meaning that transgendered people might have a slightly easier path in life.
As to the "drive by fruiting" scene from Mrs. Doubtfire -- that's one of my favorite scenes in the movie! That whole movie is full of great scenes, but just thinking of that scene makes me laugh, all these years later.
On Dr. Drew tonight, there was an AA lady that got up and said that BC doesn't need to go to jail now. That all of that stuff happened SOOOOOO long ago and WHY didn't they go to the police?
Why are people so dag gum dumb? Lisa Bloom was sitting there profusely telling her they did, they tried, no one would listen. But a woman filed a complaint in 2008 so there is hope there. The deposition has confirmed that he did do it. Over and over again.
The point is you have no time to shop, recipe plan and cook but this allows you to do all that in a quarter of the time with no thinking involved after your brain is fried from work.

Kate's brain is fried, along with her bleached hair, but I'm sure it's not from work.

OrangeCrusher, I wouldn't use Kate as any standard to compare yourself to. One could serve a plate of deep fried spiders and still look better than her. lol ok, I kid... slightly... ;)
A blindfolded monkey can cook those Blue Apron dishes. The lazy arse is just grifting for more freebies. That's all there is to it.
It was PLATED that was on Shark Tank. I am a huge Shark Tank fan!

I agree, that BlueApron deal sounds like it's perfect with people who have lots of money and little desire to actually shop for and make their own food. The thing is - cooking from scratch can be quick, easy, healthy and inexpensive, and I think it's more important to learn how to cook from scratch than pay through the nose for pre-measured ingredients that you assemble like a piece of furniture.
Like Admin said, most people after a certain number of years preparing meals for their family, would have built up a repetoire of favorite go-to meals. For the past few months, I've been following a low carb eating plan. Even though it hasn't been very long, I already have my new grocery list fairly memorized, and I have about 6 go-to dinner meals that I make over and over. By making it from scratch, I know exactly what's in everything I eat. Tonight I made a simple stove top meal of sauteed zucchini and yellow squash and mushrooms, to which I added shredded cooked chicken and a simple blend of a small amount of cream cheese and Dijon mustard. Topped with some grated cheddar cheese --- yum! I used about 1/2 of the chicken, and the rest I'll use to make chicken salad for lunches. I am not sure of the actual cost per serving (for the stove top meal), but I know it's way less than $10. 1/2 rotisserie chicken - 3.50; zucchini, squash and mushrooms - maybe $3 total; 2 oz cream cheese? At most, $1. Total cost for the meal - $7.50; and it made 3 servings, so $2.50 per serving. Not bad. But then again, I really am piecing and patching lol.
I was thinking about Mrs. Malaprop today when I was listening to a television interview. The woman said that her husband has reptile dysfunction. I couldn't stop laughing and wondered if this meant that something was wrong with his rattler.

Millicent, the zucchini chicken dish sounds so good.
It really makes no sense for a seasoned cook (pardon the pun) to use Blue Apron. It appears to me to be a way for people who really don't know how to shop, prep and cook meal to get started.
It's not a bad idea if you have the desire and the money to do so.
Frankly, you can Google anything for free these days, so I don't see the value, but I love to cook.
In fact, I don't get CSA deliveries because I love going to the famers markets so, so much.

Did TFW tweet anything else last night besides her commercial
for Blue Apron? So many fans had checked in to say hello and
that they missed her -- surely a good pal like TFW would've
asked them all about their weekends, right? Or are her
gabfests only reserved for damage control, and/or furthering

Costco has very good seafood deals.
I also buy the heads of broccoli from Costco- huge bag, pre-washed. Makes it so easy to eat healthy.
Hmm..reminds me I have a pineapple from Costco- need to break it down and Tupperware it!

I hope Blue Apron is ready for the Gosselin curse. The barrage of emails, tweets, etc., pro and con. Companies must rue the day they chose to become associated with TFW. Look at Boscov's, Northern, Sears, John Deere, No Netz.
They have to drop everything and deal with the nonsense of a wannabe celebrity.
The food looks like an appetizer on CHOPPED and boy would the chef that prepared that garbage would get a tongue lashing.

More like "Worst Cooks In America". If she was going to grift, she should have taken some time to style the food so it didn't look like a pre-washed bag of Romaine and a salmon filet on top.
It's fine as a quick meal at home, but it wouldn't entice anyone to try Blue Apron.
It just looks poorly cooked and plated.
Looks like Deanna has the Blue Apron plan. They must be filming as she references in another tweet having a big lunch and making a separate dinner for the kids. Craft Services?

@Lexis2usc @Kateplusmy8 @blueapron I have the two person plan, so we made a meal for the kids and cooked this while they ate!

Laziness.
It really is targeted for young professionals and young parents, white collar, high income, city-dwelling, 10-12 hour workdays who still want to feel normal by cooking a real meal for their spouse or kids. It was never marketed to stay at home moms that I ever saw. The point is you have no time to shop, recipe plan and cook but this allows you to do all that in a quarter of the time with no thinking involved after your brain is fried from work.

What comes to my mind is wealthy people with a gourmet kitchen, replete with Sub Zero and Viking appliances, feeling like they are hip and healthy by cooking like this.
Again, fine, but c'mon, a piecing and patching mother of 9 doing 99.99999% of it alone?
It makes no sense other than Kate has some sort of angle, otherwise, why make your attempt at being a mommy chef a total joke?
She wants to endorse it for money or trade. Calling it now.
Just like Coupons by Kate, which appeared to be nothing more than lending her name to a website for compensation.
After I thought about It for a bit I decided that Deanna, as a single working person in NYC, probably subscribes to @blueapron. Yup, further tweets bear this out.
@deannatweeting: @Lexis2usc @Kateplusmy8 @blueapron I have the two person plan, so we made a meal for the kids and cooked this while they ate!
Also, I thought the portion looked kind of small....@deannatweeting: @MiloandJack @Kateplusmy8 We had a HUGE lunch so we actually ended up splitting one of the filets!
So once again it was TFW's creative wording to try and grift something for herself. I guess they had a HUGE lunch at the mall because TLC was paying and Deanna was there working as TFW's make up artist.
I figured it was Deanna who subscribed. She's their target market. Busy young professional, single, successful career working long, late hours, money to burn, wants to feel like they can cook like Giada on any given night without actually putting in the time and effort to do so. I can almost picture all the 20-30 something single girls on sets she is on raving about this company.
I hope she had the food delivered directly to TFW's house. Lugging that salmon all the way from NYC seems unwise. #stinky
she references in another tweet having a big lunch and making a separate dinner for the kids. Craft Services?

Yep. Craft services.
You can even get the frozen individually sealed salmon portions at Costco that when cooked look (are!) a lot bigger than those pieces. And they don't look as dry. And talk about a boring salad. Looks exactly like the bagged stuff.
Why would you pay that kind of money for something so mediocre? yup, she got it in her head that they'll give it to her for free, which I bet will happen. She makes me sick
Kate is not "petite." She's at least 5'6, maybe taller, and she's pretty hearty I guess you call it, even though she's not overweight. She's not thin boned or anything like that. She's a solid woman. There's nothing in the petite section that would fit her.
Milo sounds like a man or a lesbian when she relates a post about food to Kate's body. That's just creepy. It has nothing to do with that, why is she bringing it up AGAIN?
Oh? Is it organic??
The salmon was, hands down, way overcooked. That's why it looks so dry. It looks like it spent a good five extra minutes in the pan than it should have.
At 40 years old and having written a cookbook, you should be able to cook a piece of salmon properly. Supposedly they give you step by step directions too.
Another thing I find strange is she's always eating something different than her kids. Invariably, that means she's not sitting down to eat with them because she's still cooking her meal.
That gets obnoxious. It's not a family meal if the kids are eating first by themselves and you're still throwing Blue Apron pre-portioned things into a pan. That defeats the whole purpose of sharing a meal together, the ability to sit down together, break bed, and talk. I think it also creates a subtle separation between you and your kids, sending some strange message that you never want what they want, or that they can't have what you have. The occasional times we feel like just making our own thing to eat, there's something about it that feels far less personal.
