Friday's 20/20: The Creepy Lady Variety Show

thumbnail icon: Friday's 20/20: The Creepy Lady Variety Show

If you happened to turn on ABC during prime time this past Friday night, you were treated to an episode of 20/20 that amounted to an issue of the Weekly World News come to life (vagina edition.) Correspondent Deborah Roberts (Al Roker's wife!) intrepidly reported on the following five stories:

1. Women who have orgasms during childbirth.
2. Women who breastfeed their older children.
3. Women who treat lifelike fake newborns like their real babies.
4. Women who have been surrogate mothers zillions of times.
5. And women who insist on giving birth at home (kind of a snooze after the orgasm one.)

After the jump, a whole lot of gross.

Six-year-old Tiernan has teeth, glasses, a school attendance record, and an opinion on which of his mother's boobs ("nummy-nummies!") he most enjoys drinking from:

And to paraphrase an Albert Brooks line from Broadcast News: Q: "What do you do when you have an orgasm during childbirth?" A: "Keep it to yourself!":

That is the most trouble anyone has ever gone to for an orgasm. And let's bring "Nummy-nummies!" into our vocabularies, asap.

The breastfeeding thing is definitely screwed up. I don't find the orgasm thing so much gross as bizarre hippie propaganda. I lol'd when they said the wife was a modern dancer, because it was pretty much exactly what I expected.

I had the opposite responce, I saw a preview of it on GMA, and I said "I am so watching this." Watching I was mesmerised by these women's candor about their insane behavior.

This is almost exactly what my reaction was. Except it was more of a ".....what......WHAT."

The lady with all the realdolls is definitely your girlfriend in 15-20 years. (hope you didn't bring her home over the holidays.)

Man, I'm going to feel bad for that kid when he needs to go through multiple years of therapy to undo the pyschological and sexual repercussions of breastfeeding until he's 9. I didn't find the orgasm one that gross until her gross husband said it wasn't anything he wasn't used to. NSFA

What will these orgasm babies think when they are teenagers? I can barely stand the thought of my own parents even having sex, much less climaxing. Get it out, get it out! Though, they will probably be raised differently than I was when it comes to sex, so who knows...

this baby cumming stuff is disturbing... next these crazies are going to try to tell us that you don't really love your baby and won't be a good mother if you don't climax during childbirth.

uuuugggghhh (frustration grunt - not orgasm grunt)

Okay, someone needs to tell that lady that we grow teeth for a reason. If your kid has a full set of teeth and can tell you that they are hungry, there is no reason for you to pop your boobs in their mouth anymore.

The women with the dolls were the creepiest/saddest. The had one who throws birthday parties for her dolls and she invites real children. Children who's parents let them go to birthday parties for a grown-woman's plastic baby dolls.

Dr. Christine Northrup walks like a Terminator.

I'm trying to focus on that and not baby-induced orgasms.

I can't believe all these selfish women going on about their orgasms without even a single thought for whether or not their baby gets off. It's called "foreplay," people.
