That shouldn't stop him from getting a regular 8-5 job. BUT, he's been off the job market for 3 or so years. No one is going to offer him a good paying job. If he finds a job at McDonald, would that be enough? Maybe, instead of tweeting all day, he should go back to school to update his knowledge in the IT field. Go back to school, take some classes, do something.
Also, it's not like Jon can pull the strings. TLC and Kate has him in a bind. Jon tried to take the kids off TV but he is no match for TLC and their high price liars. TLC sued Jon when he took the kids away. And then used his kids are bargaining chips. (TLC to Jon: Let us film the kids, we'll drop our lawsuit against you and give you 5k a month). Jon says OK....
Jon is an idiot we all know that by now. It's as clear as Kate's fake titties and her hair covering her boxtox fivehead.. He is not going to accomplish anything. The only way to stop this is by not watching period.
As long as there are viewers, Kate and TLC will continue pimping the kids. Bashing Jon won't accomplish nothing. Not tuning in and giving the show the worst ratings possible will do more damage than bashing Jon.
Yes he's a dead beat. So what? Calling him a dead beat and then watching the show at the same time, supporting TLC and their advertisers. What does that accomplish exactly? You really want to see something happen? Jon isn't going to do it. Don't tune in. That would do more damage then calling Jon a dead beat.
So if you really want this madness to stop. Just don't tune in. When ratings fall, TLC will move on. Then both Jon and Kate will finally have to work to support their 8 kids. Instead of the 8 kids support their parents.
Take away their income. Then they both have to find "real" jobs. The reason he's sitting on his ass doing nothing is because people are watching the show and putting money into the pockets of Jon and Kate.
So my point is. Don't be a Jon Gosselin. Do something about it. Don't tune in.

Well said JJ.
Don't DO a "jon gosselin" which means don't sit on your ass and be a dead beat dad, watering virtual crops on Facebook, and watching DVDs all day long.
The sad thing is that Jon doesn't even care. I would be very surprised if Ellen stuck around much longer.
I agree. Sometimes I feel like there is nothing Jon could do to please anyone. He is doing the best he can with what he has to deal with in my opinion. If he doesn't let Khate film the kids she will make their lives miserable. If he does allow them to film then at least they are not completely alone with her, which I would be very afraid if that were to happen (to me) and there is a window to which others can see their plight.
He can't get a job in the media - TLC will sue the pants off him. He has no money to fight them. If he gets a 9 to 5 job he can't support the kids in the manner to which they have become accustomed (which is the standard for child support). It would take everything he could rake and scrape together and that would not be enough. What he is doing right now is probably the best - give her the rope and let her hang herself.
The kids got a sorry lot in life when it came to parents. I think what is happening right now may be the undoing of it all. You would have to live under a rock to not see that TLC and Khate are over-working the kids and maybe something will come of that if nothing more than people not watching. I just don't see how she can remain on her pedestal with such blatant in your face child exploitation. Time will tell.
This isn't want people want to hear but someone had to say it.
The only one keeping the show on the air are the people watching the show. Jon obviously can't or won't do anything about it. He tried...
Kate, LOL she's milking her kids for all they're worth.
TLC is only doing what they're in business to do. Make money.
So who is actually keeping the show on the air? THE PEOPLE WATCHING.
Feeding into the ratings will keep the show running. So DON'T TUNE IN.
TV ratings and how it works
I wholeheatrtedly agree! Don't know why people tune in to that malarchy--cackling BS of a show. I can't even stand the commercials for the show. There are always reruns if you can't help yourself. She's got to go away SOMEDAY but it'll be faster if we don't watch.
Agree that we need to ignore this pathetic family and TLC will pull the plug on these grifters. But I have to confess to a soft spot for Jon. Sure he's been a lazy douche for the past year, but I wonder how tight that TLC leash is on him. I'd love to see him get a job as a snowboarding instructor. He loves it, he's covered enough to stay anonymous, and I think his celebrity would be a plus here. People would sign up to learn from him just because, or out of curiosity, and he could win them over with his sweetness. Learn the ropes of the business and open up his own gig in a couple of years. Seems like the start up expenses wouldn't be much and I think it would suit him perfectly. He'd have a cool job, would have a small dose of notoriety/celebrity but not much, and most importantly, would have the pride of employment. Baby steps. I'd admire him much more than Kate, even if she made a zillion bucks, because he'd do it honestly and without objectifying his kids.
I agree. Jon in genuinely a nice guy and he loves his kids. And the kids return the love to him. It shows. Out of the two, he is the "lesser" of the two evil.
The problem is, he's a freaking idiot.
So people take advantage of him. He's too nice and too makes friends too easily. He shouldn't "Trust" anyone that easily.
Or they will end up f'ing you over. (Heller, Hailey, Major).
The snowboard thing would be great but wouldn't he have to live in Utah for that. Never been to PA, don't know if they have mountainous areas there.
He could take it one step further and incorporate that into this "Foundation" and do it for free. I think that would make a much more interesting read than the Farmville thing. Then maybe tweeting about his day would be worthwhile. He could teach skateboarding and just about any sport. Sports are his strong point.
I have a young teenage son who has an absentee father (for lack of a better word that I would never let my child hear me say about his dad) and trust me - Jon is not a deadbeat dad.
I like the above believe he is the best parent of the 2 and most definitely the best person of the two. Do something with yourself Jon. This is your time. Use it wisely. Make a mark in the world. Make a difference in someone's life. Be a role model. Make your kids proud.
I don't know about snowboarding in PA, but betcha there are at least smallish ski resorts nearby. I grew up in LA and even in sunny SoCal, there were places to ski within driving distance. Sure, Utah would be better skiing, better snow, but I don't believe Jon would desert his kids. He does love them and bet he'd spend more time with them if he could. It confuses me how he got so screwed in the divorce. What happened to division of joint assets? How did Kate get everything? Kate was only responsible for 1/8 of JK8; just because she is a world class asshole doesn't make her the star of that show or the money it brought in. The money for the books written during their marriage were also half his. How did Kate get to determine when or if he got to see the kids? Especially since he was their primary caregiver? And since he seemed to be a wonderful father until he was shoved out of their lives? And since the kids adore him and fear her? Sorry for the rant. Like I said, I have a soft spot for him. I have no proof but think some of his douchiness may not be his fault; something just isn't right. Like TLC and Kate have dirt on him and are using it to keep him down. But back to what the above poster said: Go Jon. Make something of yourself. Your kids need you and love you. And people would love to see you succeed on your own.
The Kfreaks knows all about the monkey face Kate,and they said,"Kate is not a bitch in real life."That leads me to think is TLC making Kate act like a monster??? I'm wondering if TLC is paying Jon to act like the lazy guy that don't want to work....
Khate has a history of being a bitch back when the kids were babies - to the volunteers, making demands, expecting everyone to take care of them, farming the twins out to her parents all the time and Jon also has a history of long periods of unemployment. Of course then he had his dad who would always pick up the slack. He would walk in precisely the exact moment that was crying over the bills and he would Kate whatever it is I will take care of it. (Multiple Blessings). And they still went crying to the public.
Back to my thought I don't think is as far reaching as that. I think TLC pretty much knew what kind of people they were from the beginning and let the chips fall where they may.
Kind of like the film crew who let Flower go into her burrow when they knew a dangerous snake had just entered and did not intervene. And that was the end of Meerkat Manor. It was Flower that people wanted to watch and they have never been able to recapture the buzz the show had before she died. She was the matriarch. It was terribly upsetting.
Kate has always been a bitch. Ask her parents. When the tups were born, her parent's asked their church members if they could help by donating clothes, cribs, etc etc.
Kate rejected all the NEW clothes because they weren't brand new. She also rejected the 6 cribs donated to the family because they didn't match.
A van was also donated to the Gosselins. Kate wasn't even thankful for the van because it was a "ugly" color. She then traded in the van for the (mini bus) they have now.
Kate's parents didn't want to tell the church members that their gifts weren't accepted so it was all donated to a local salvation army or goodwill.
Kate also had a history of "bad temper" when she was a nurse.
