After five seasons, eight horribly traumatized kids and enough goddamn news about these two soulless parents (a term I use loosely), Jon & Kate Plus 8 has finally, blissfully been put on hiatus. Now that Jon has forbidden the show from filming his kids, which of course, has NOTHING to do with the fact that they axed his Ed Hardy clad ass from the show, TLC has offed them, presumably so they can air more of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant.

Jon & Kate Plus 8, which in recent months had become just about as fun as reliving your parents' divorce, will stop filming new episodes next month, according to the New York Post.

After Jon Gosselin, 32, forbade TLC from filming his and 34-year-old estranged wife Kate's eight children for their show, the network will try to squeeze out a couple remaining episodes from existing footage before putting the show to rest, according to sources. (Source)

Well, it was only a matter of time, what with Jon becoming the fat, Asian version of Spencer Pratt and Kate turning into the fucking Beldam from Coraline. I'm sure the kids must be just crushed that their parents aren't going to be able to exploit them for personal gain anymore. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Here's to you TLC. No network has ever taken advantage of other peoples' misfortunes quite like you.
