OctoMoron loses her PR firm and gains an agent



This'll probably be my last thread about Nadya Suleman, unless she does something new & stupid.

It seems though that the public relations firm that has represented Suleman is stepping down because of death threats, according to its president.

Joann Killeen also said OctoFruit now has an agent: Wes Yoder, the same man who arranged book and music deals for the McCaughey septuplets a decade ago and publicity for controversial pastor Rick Warren.

The Killeen Furtney Group was ending its free representation after receiving at least 100 graphic e-mailed threats and swarms of nasty voicemails that went to the Los Angeles agency, Killeen said.

Meanwhile, Killeen said Suleman told her that she had reached an exclusive representation deal with Yoder.

His Ambassador Agency, Inc., bills itself as the oldest Christian-based talent agency in the United States.

At this point, I'm done with her. She's a fruitcake, nutty as a squirrel turd, and us taxpayers are footing the bill for her lunacy.

Honest, I'm not on welfare...



Today we revisit Nadya Suleman, my new favorite fruitcake, who gave birth to octuplets a couple weeks ago. Nutty as a squirrel turd, her addiction to collecting babies makes Angelina Jolie’s menagerie look positively tame by comparison. At least Jolie can afford to buy the children she’s collecting in addition to the ones she births. Since she has no income, Mizz Squirrel Turd has said that she intends to use student loans to care for her brood of 14 children, all under the age of 8.

Ann Curry of NBC deserves an award for not reaching across the table and beating her with a frozen cod fish during their interview.

“Do you have any income at all?” Curry asked Suleman during her interview.

“At the moment, no,” Suleman replied, adding that she intended to use student loans “temporarily” to pay for her family’s care.

“Right now, you don’t have an income to provide for your children?” Curry repeated.

“Probably just with the student loans,” Suleman said. “I am providing for my children. I am. And that will probably run out by the time I go back to school. So I have my own way. It’s an alternative way, but it works.”

Hell, it’s also FRAUD. Last I checked, you were supposed to use student loans for school-related expenses, didn’t you? She just admitted she’s not in school so then how is she getting student loans other than by defrauding the system? Enquiring minds wanna know.

All of Suleman’s children are under the age of 8, and she now has 10 children under the age of 2. According to a report from The Los Angeles Times, three of her older children have disabilities and receive Supplemental Security Income. In addition, Suleman reportedly receives $490 a month in food stamps from the state of California.

Michael Furtney, a publicist for Suleman, told The Associated Press that Suleman does not think of the public funds she does receive as welfare. “In Nadya's view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare,” he said. “They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare.”

So she’s delusional, too? And wait…she has no income but has a frikkin’ publicist? How the hell is she paying for a publicist? I knew lawyers occasionally did pro bono work but do publicists do it too? Usually when someone gets involved with a goat rope of this magnitude, they really aren’t doing it pro bono for the client, but pro bono for their own publicity and reputation.

During the interview with Curry, Suleman said, "I'm not receiving help from the government. I'm not trying to expect anything from anybody. [I] just wanted to do it on my own. Any resources that someone would really, really want to help us, I will accept, I would embrace.”

“I’m responsible. I am not on welfare,” she told Curry. “I don’t want to disparage or seem like I’m disparaging any individual who uses welfare as a form of a resource. It can be a valuable resource. I’ve chosen never to go on welfare. I feel that it is my responsibility to do what I can to provide for my children.”

I’m not receiving help from the government, other than student loans, food stamps, and SSI, you mean. I wanna do it on my own, but will gladly take charity from anyone who wants to give it, thusly not really doing it on my own. Again, this chick is delusional.

Curry told Suleman that many people think she had the octuplets in the hope of making money off her story.

“That's funny how untrue that is,” Suleman said. “Money? Money is necessary to raise children. But it's — it's paper. It is paper. To me, it is superfluous in contrast to the importance of my kids.”

So then why was she shopping herself out to Oprah hoping to get two million?

Yeah, sister, it’s just paper, but your goofy ass is costing us taxpayers a lot of paper.

Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC’s chief medical editor, has estimated that the cost of delivering the octuplets and keeping them in neonatal intensive care until they are ready to leave the hospital will be $1.5 million to $3 million. That’s a lot of paper. The Los Angeles Times has reported that Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, where the babies will remain for several weeks, has asked California’s medical insurance program, Medi-Cal, to pay the tab. That means that her kids will have been paid for and subsidized by…you guessed it…DING DING DING!!!!!! the taxpayers of California. But she’s doing it on her own without governmental assistance, right?

She used to work, once upon a time.

“I was able to work double shifts, constantly working double shifts. I was hoarding my money, nonstop working. I really didn’t have much of a social life,” Suleman said. “My friends would go, ‘Are you saving for a house, a car?’

“ ‘No, I’m saving for babies.’ ” (Since you can buy them?)

After trying for seven years to get pregnant, Suleman turned to in vitro fertilization, paying for “several” of the procedures she has undergone with the money she saved.

Curry asked how much money she spent on in vitro procedures.

“I don’t know. I would say close to 100,” Suleman replied.

“A hundred thousand dollars?” Curry asked.

“Probably,” Suleman said. “Yeah, definitely.”

So she was able to squirrel away a hundred large to pay for starting her baby collection but couldn’t set anything aside for maintaining the collection? Great.

How much of the latest economic goat-rope disguised as a stimulus package will have to be diverted to paying for her kids?

As for myself, I have no biological children. Seems that I never needed to have any because people like The Baby Collector had them for me. And I don’t need to raise any kids of my own, because I’m already paying for kids like these, and for illegal aliens too, but that’s another story.

14 head of kids qualifies as a "herd"


Some people just deserve to be beaten with a 2-foot length of rubber tubing.

Last week when I heard that Nadya Suleman had given birth to a set of octuplets in California, I thought it was an interesting news blurb and silently wished her & her husband the best of luck with 8 kids to feed. I figured they were a couple using fertility drugs to overcome conception issues. Boy, was I wrong.

Turns out she’s an unemployed single mother who already had six kids.

Digest that a second before you choke.

This begs a few questions…like who the hell paid for her fertility treatments? What ethical doctor in his right mind would implant 8 fetuses into a woman, let alone one with six kids? This shit makes me wanna scream.

There are thousands of decent couples out there who can’t conceive, and now this greedy/crazy/attentionwhore bitch has, count ‘em…FOURTEEN kids all under the age of 8 years old!!!! Holy shit, Batman. She’s been shopping her story out to folks like Oprah and Good Morning America, asking for two million dollars no less. She says it’s to help defray the costs of raising this new litter of pups she’s whelped. She really wants to be a famous TV star/child care expert… yeah, right. She then decided that Ann Curry of NBC’s Today Show would get the first interview, and now the details are slowly trickling out.

Her parents bought her a two-bedroom place in the L.A. burbs in March 2007, but soon after got into debt and had to leave their own home, filing for bankruptcy and moving in with their daughter and grandchildren. Last week her father said he would return to his native Iraq to work as a translator and driver. Man, times are tough indeed when an Iraqi immigrant to the States has to go back to Iraq just to get a job.

State documents disclosed to The Associated Press show that Nadya Suleman has received more than $165,000 in disability payments for an on-the-job back injury. She worked at a state mental hospital from 1997 until December, when she resigned. The payments were made between 2002 and 2008, during which time Suleman gave birth to most of her six other children. The documents, provided to the AP on Thursday following a public records request to the Department of Mental Health, also show that Suleman had three miscarriages before she first became a mother, has used different names over the years and has been married and divorced once.

Her mother Angela Suleman, who is caring for the first six children, one of whom is autistic, while her daughter is in the hospital, said that she had consulted a psychologist over Nadya’s “obsession with children”. (Gee, ya’ think?)

Nadya Suleman, who describes herself as a “professional student” living off education grants and parental money, broke up with her boyfriend before the birth of her first child seven years ago. The identity of the octuplets’ father remains unknown, but Suleman said all her children have been born through in vitro fertilization, with sperm donated from a friend. The first six range in age from 2 to 7.

She’s claiming that she was incredibly lonely during childhood , giving a boo-hoo about being an only child, so she turned herself into a baby factory to fill the void. Whatever, lady. I was an only child, too. I was far from lonely.

Go get some friends. Get a frikkin’ puppy. Find a hobby. Volunteer at a local charity. But seriously, don’t con some spurious clinic tech into giving your unemployed/single/burden-to-your-parents ass 8 more kids to be born prematurely (requiring hundreds of thousands of dollars in neonatal care) when you already have six others that you can barely take care of. That’s selfish and just plain wrong. Hamsters don’t have as many babies as you now have.

Suleman told Curry her childhood was "pretty dysfunctional." She added: "I didn't feel as though, when I was a child, I had much control of my environment. I felt powerless."

Well, no shit, lady. You were a child, and as a general rule, children have little to no control over their environments. That’s what parents are for. I’ve found a lot of the time that households where children wield the power and the parents are powerless are the dysfunctional ones…
