Listen morons, you've got to stop waiting for God's advice – it just ain't coming

You may or may not be aware of the hit TLC show 18 Kids and Counting – used to be 17 Kids and Counting, but then mommy Michelle Duggar got pregnant again – which focuses on the everyday life amongst the 20 members of the Duggar household.

Oh, wait – scratch that. Make that 21 members – mommy Duggar is pregnant. Again.

They're going to have to change the name of the show again. The prolific Duggar family, stars of the TLC show "18 Kids and Counting," are adding another child to their already overwhelming brood.

"We are thrilled to announce that we found out we're expecting our 19th child," mom Michelle Duggar told the "Today" show Tuesday morning.

The 42-year-old Arkansas mom - who has been pregnant for an inconceivable 12 years of her life - was surprised to find out she was expecting again just eight months after giving birth to baby number 18.

... Can't come up with anything clever to say in the face of such a stupid bit of news.

Now, don't get me wrong. I certainly don't care about this show or this family; it's just another household that gets spotlight privileges due to being stupid, vulgar, weird, or in this case, extra numerous. They can have kids until they require a 14-century château to house them all for all I care. What does concern me (to some extent), is this bit:

The family's reality show, originally titled "17 Kids and Counting," chronicles the conservative Baptists as they raise and homeschool their offspring.

The Duggars have said they didn't set out to have such a massive family and even briefly used birth control.

But they decided after having a miscarriage that they wanted to leave the number of children they have up to God.

Any parents who believe in something as stupid as that don't deserve to have kids. Parenthood is about exercising reason and common sense, not hoping that your magical deity will suddenly show up and tell you, "Okay, you've contributed enough to my flock with your 30 children, time to stop now.". This demarcates insanity.

This is just blatantly irresponsible. In an ideal world, authorities would swoop in in half-a-second – hell, they would've come in much sooner – and would take the kids away and give these wackaloon parents one hell of a slap on the wrist. At the very least, this sorry excuse for a TV show would be taken off the air. But this isn't an ideal world, this is a world ruled by TV ratings and popular appeal, and sadly, the idea of taking a family who churns out more kids than most of the rest of America combined and slapping them on TV will always win out over the kids' actual welfare.

Call me blind or stupid if you must, but – sorry, I just can't envision how parents, especially in these modern times, can effectively take care of such a massive household (even if the older kids have grown up and are sharing financial pressures). This is simply ridiculous.
