this sign kicked ass

Hopefully Jon Gosselin made this sign himself because it would mean he misspelled “penalty” and his own first name (close up here, source = inf daily), but whoever made it somehow got the job done because over the course of a few hours Jon has seen his public perception skyrocket from “bratty jackass” to “slightly less bratty jackass”.

TMZ says both sides confirm that Jon has been asking to end the show for months, not because he gives a shit about the kids but because he wanted to do a show on his own.

Radar Online talked to Kate today, and she says, “Jon has never expressed any concerns to me about our children being involved in the show.”

And TLC says Jons, “latest comments are grossly inaccurate, without merit and are clearly opportunistic.”

But at least he was able to halt production for now and at least claim he’s doing it for the kids.  Which is dumb.  Everyone should cash out as long as they can, because once the kids turn 12 or so, they won’t have time to film a show between all their trips to the psychiatrist and emergency room and abortion clinic.
