Renting Showbiz Babies and Covering Them in Jelly

Quick, what's the grossest thing you can think of?
If you're anything like 86% of the world's population, you answered "watching some gross pregnant woman give birth to a child." If you are in the 14% of the population that said something else, you are clearly some kind of dangerous pervert. Nothing could be more disgusting than some sweaty, red-faced, bloated woman screaming at the top of her lungs as she pushes an 8-pound, squishy ball of bloody flesh through her lady parts.
Newborn babies are the grossest of God's creatures. Ask anybody.
But here's the crazy thing: those out-of-touch crazies in Hollywood have their heads so far up their asses that they don't realize that we all find childbirth to be so offensive. In fact, amazingly, they try to use it as bait for higher ratings on their television shows!

They never show the afterbirth and they NEVER show the nurse administering a suppository beforehand either!
Giving birth on TV is just a lot of the mother yelling at the "father" at what a big asshole he is and how she wants to kill him for doing this to her.
This is something that ABC's hit show Lost has made me think about a lot for a couple of years. The writers of that show seem to have an uncanny infatuation with lengthy child birth scenes. Not only is this painful to watch, but it also has prevented Lost from moving the story foreward in serious ways. This is a key indicator that Lost is jumping the shark in 24 fashion. Maybe the next season will kick off with an amnesia episode.
The Lost childbirth scenes don't bother me so much, but they weird me out because one time it seemed like the baby they used was actually just born. It was small and gross... I think they stole it from a hospital earlier that day.
