outdated post on Octomom

I say I write a blog dedicated to pondering kid size--and my oh my is Octomom dabbling in the large family lifestyle. It's shocking that I've not posted a single word about the mom of 14. Perhaps I was too busy reading about her to have the time to write about her. Embarrassing, I know. I've not been able to keep up with all the new updates on her family--new house, new toenail polish, new babies all home from the hospital--and, as I've stated before, her version of mega-family isn't exactly what I'm most interested in covering here. However, I think it bears back patting (my own, of course) that I foreshadowed the Octomom phenom back in my blogging heydey (before two kids hampered my blogstyle) in my Big Hollywood Families post. Here's a snippet:

There's lots of talk about how Brangelina is championing adoption, making it cool and Hollywood-ish to adopt from outside the US, but what about their sheer numbers? Will the size of the Jolie-Pitt family influence others (excluding those who are already influenced by religion or a lack of access to and/or knowledge of effective birth control) to make more babies?

Uh, yeah. Hello Octomom. Maybe the answer was obvious. Maybe I'm not as soothsayerish as I think. I definitely didn't predict that the mother of a brood bigger than Brangelina would also artifically adopt the same face as Ms. Jolie.
