KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD - THE RISE AND FALL OF A REALITY TV QUEEN (109 page)

But then, Kate’s ignorance and laziness reared their ugly heads once again. One of her tweeties had to point out to her that she was using an incorrect Twitter name for
Dancing With The Stars
.

Kate, just so you know, when you tweet”@DWTS” it’s not an account that has anything to do with Dancing With The Stars!

what is their @ thingy then?

Kate can’t be bothered to look up the official Twitter account for DWTS, so she asked her tweetie to do it for her. It turns out that Kate was actually tweeting to an account called DeathWalksTheStreets, which included some offensive tweets containing profanity.

THE SKINNY ON PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism
is defined in dictionaries as the “wrongful appropriation,” “close imitation,” or “purloining and publication” of another
author
’s “language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions,” and the representation of them as one’s own
original work
.

In February of 2012, having no publicist to control her words for her, Kate once again put her foot in her mouth when she made a potentially dangerous tweet to her many impressionable teenage “tweeties.”

Man! I wish! Getting ther but not quite there yet. But I don’t know what you’re talking about; you look AMAZING!!!

I’d agree with u if I was on your profile pic :) keep working…’Nothing tastes as good as thin feels’ :) 1 of my many mottos!

Not only is Kate ignorant and unintelligent, she has never had a single original thought of her own and has been plagiarizing other people’s thoughts and works for years. This plagiarized comment by Kate – who has five impressionable daughters and mostly young teenage girls as Twitter followers – was one that even she should have known to keep to herself. Not Kate. She was so proud of it too; until the online backlash hit her. Again.

The quote, “Nothing tastes as good as thin feels,” is a slight variation on an actual quote from supermodel Kate Moss, who was also criticized for it a few years ago. If Kate had researched the quote before blurting it out to the world, she would have found this:

“Kate Moss, the model, has been accused of encouraging teenage girls to become anorexic after claiming she lives by the motto: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

Critics condemned Moss’s comments, saying that, as a role model to millions of girls and young women, they could lead to more instances of eating disorders.”

Kate changed the word “skinny” to “thin” and made the quote her own. While telling us that she’s not into plagiarism, she of course, took someone else’s quote without attributing it to that person.

THANK YOU, MOMMY!

Kate is constantly putting words in her kid’s mouths in an effort to make complete strangers,
whom she doesn’t and really shouldn’t even care about, think she’s a great mother. She is always talking about how much her children thank her for absolutely EVERYTHING and they’re constantly “SHRIEKING” for joy about everything Kate does! Oh, mommy, thank you for that grape! Oh, mommy, thank you for making me sit on the rug stripe to watch a movie! Baloney.

When Kate bought the kids new bikes, she wrote on her web blog that they were “Such thankful amazing kids!” She said she received “four thousand thank-you’s” “every hour on the hour for two days from all 8.”

In a
Couponcabin.com
blog that Kate wrote about her Thanksgiving meal, she said “a chorus of eight ‘Yummy, mommy!’ makes it totally worth it.”

Here is Kate tweeting about how thankful the kids are that she brought Shoka back from the breeder after she had vanquished him:

that was a memory filled day! My kids STILL thank me for him EVERY day, no lie. Nearly a year later:)

(“No lie”? Hmmm. Again with that? And does anyone truly believe that the kids thank her
every
single
day
for bringing Shoka back?)

In this tweet, Kate just can’t help but throw Jon under the bus again:

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Latest rumor that kids says they want to live with their daddy! Because..U are mean! LOL I know U want to address that one!

we all wish hewould tak them more than 4d/mo but doesn’t.they have fun there but def love living w me/here. So happy here!

I have watched every television show Kate Gosselin has ever been involved in, and I know the kids personally. I know she’s a horrible mother. Her tweeting and blogging to the contrary isn’t going to change that fact. She can’t rewrite history. She may have gotten used to reality being written for her, but she can’t change reality to suit her
, no matter how hard she tries. And she sure does continue to try. Now in addition to eight children, one dog and every single person who has ever met her being absolutely head over heals in love with her, Kate Gosselin has now brought home a pet bird named Zorro who just can’t get enough of her.

In the last few days, I SWEAR I’ve heard Zorro repeat ‘love you’ & just now I said ‘thank you (bc he kissed my cheek) &he repeated me! #WOW

TMI

The Gosselin children have absolutely zero privacy in their lives. Their mother blogs and tweets intimate details of their lives to anyone who’s interested. In addition to her intrusive fans who clamor for every tidbit of information about her and her children, this audience of Twitter strangers almost certainly includes possible pedophiles, mentally unbalanced persons, or others who might do her family harm.

Kate has no boundaries when it comes to what she will tweet or say about her kids during interviews. She must never consider that her children will most surely be teased at school because of the personal information she offers to the world. Setting aside the fact that it’s disrespectful and intrusive, it is just plain stupid and dangerous for a parent to be telling complete strangers where she will be taking her very famous children at any given time of the day. It is even worse when she tweets that she is out somewhere and her children are home alone.

There are hundreds of examples of Kate tweeting about what she and/or her kids are doing. These just scratch the surface:

Good eve! Kids and I are going out 2 dinner! Rare treat! Every1 is excited—including me=no clean up!Yay! Rarely eat out unless traveling!

Kate doesn’t just give a blow-by-blow of what the children are doing, she tweets pictures of what they are doing. Here are some examples:
