The Family That Walks...ON ALL FOURS!

I've been uninspired lately, in terms of this blog. In terms of my life, I've been feeling pretty much the opposite, and coupled with how busy I've been lately, it has been hard to sit down and write all I want to write. But this scenario is surely better than having tons of time to write but nothing to write about? I would say surely. But here's a tid bit. A juicy....bit. Do I need to change this blog's name? It appealed to me for maybe ten seconds so I just went ahead and used it. But now it seems silly. But aren't all blogs inherently silly, and dare I say, fairly pointless exercises in narcissism? How about that: Farily Pointless Exercises in Narcissism? That's clever! Sigh.
This story is supremely disturbing. Not the family itself (ok, that's a little weird, too) but that there would be a documentary about them and that they would call it "The Family That Walks on All Fours" and that it is airing in England, Kingdom of Good Television, and that it's being produced by the esteemed BBC. Oh Beeb, must you stoop so low? But even more disturbing, perhaps, is this family's inetivable jump across the pond when FOX offers them their own reality show.
