Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

[Marigold]

i thought the shirt was kinda sexy.

Ben scored a touchdown? Slang for sex. Ben's sperm got the job done? ick.

Where did Jessa get a shirt like that? The thrift store

Probably from the same shop she gets her Uggs and Vera Bradley's.

As Freud himself might have said, "Sometimes a shirt is just a shirt."

Not when the wearer is the wife of a football player. These people's shirts ALWAYS have a stated purpose of some sort (think Pro Life Saved Me - paraphrasing - and Benham Brothers after their scandal). So no, I'm not buying that line. Sorry.

She actually took a moment out from chastising Catholics and taking selfies to answer that question under the same Facebook photo: her sisters bought it for her (where, she didn't say).

They bought it at Ross.

Isn't it a fairly common shirt that's in the ball park of what a lot of pregnant women wear?  I see shirts like that all the time on pregnant women.  I never wore them, mostly because I never had a baby bump large enough, and in the world I lived in, "humorous" t-shirts were never in style.  But they seem pretty common otherwise.

[JoanArc]

I guess now that she's married, Jessa can wear a shirt that calls attention to her boobs? That's all I thought about when I read the shirt.

[dillpickles]

Heh, i looked at the shirt picture today and expected much worse then what i saw.

i actually thought it was one of the nicer things I've seen her in while pregnant. Like something a "normal" woman would wear.

I mean, we all know why the hands are there... Ben knew how to find Jessaa seaworld... but, nothing more really.

Brandon Keilen (Michael's fiance) also works at HQ, so you can get a gander at him, too! 

I'm still curious to know whether or not people are allowed to visit HQ without officially signing up for something. I would so love to do an undercover story by going to a week of Journey to the Heart, but at 31 I think I may be too old. Bummer.

 

As Freud himself might have said, "Sometimes a shirt is just a shirt."

Haha. I have to agree. I honestly don't think it's intended to be a pro life shirt, or even a sex joke, but maybe I'm just being obtuse.

Right! Gothard made a special point in one of his workbooks that women shouldn't wear shirts with illustrations or writing because it draws the eye to places that will defraud. That's supposed to be true whether you're married or not (since Mechelle is still obsessed with avoiding defrauding us with her knees) but I guess Jessa's headship doesn't object. Although, I can easily picture him being the jealous type. I think he even admitted as much.

[kandinski]

Im suprised more people didnt comment on her passive agressive 6 second fathers day message.She could not have sounded more sarcastic,and it looked liked that air punch was some coded signal.Im sure she has fallen out with daddy dearest.

 

Maybe the penny has finally dropped regarding the lack of concern she was shown.

wow that was short. and overwhelmingly underwhelming.

[Marigold]

The shirt is defrauding. IT's NIKE and makes you immediately think of the sex slang "scored a touch down" or "hit a home run". Or it makes you ponder exactly how Jessa got pregnant. Suddenly I have thoughts of Ben having a big O.

I"m going to tell my teen sons to avert their eyes and look at the ground as she passes by. I don't want them thinking about any touchdowns.

Hahahaha.

Kinda reminds me of how the girls are always eating pickles and we all laugh. They have no clue how that looks to the rest of us.

Those Duggars are so culturally illiterate.

It's way too close to "touch down there" which is what Josh did to her.

[Marigold]

Checked out the Jess Duggar Father's Day video.

It came off to me as sarcastic with the air punch. Seems angry or something. Certainly not a nice and warm video.

[BitterApple]

Jessa's sarcastic tone, smirky face and air punch tell me everything I need to know. It's like she's willing to do damage control to save her livelihood but she knows it's a complete sham.

[zenme]

I hear ya, Marigold, but Jessa is not exactly "warm and nice" either.  I still don't get what the point is of them posting those greetings to their dad on youtube.  When I have a special message for my dad I go directly to him.  Just because it's not on youtube for the world to see doesn't mean it's not heartfelt.

I thought Jackson's video was sarcastic, he thanked daddy for making every day special, 'expecially' birthdays, and his was like within the week following Josh being exposed as a hypocritical gelatinous molester. But Jackson ain't that cunning.

[Marigold]

Unless Jessa felt stupid and didn't want to do the video. That would account for her attitude. Ben didn't look angry or mad.

Jessa comes off all tough and bitchy but I think she is the most insecure of them all.

"Don't mess with Jess" didn't even know the names or flowers nor could she speak up and say that she wanted these or those even if she didn't know the names..I don't know the names of all flowers but I certainly could walk around a florist and say "what are these called, I love them!"

She is way more fragile than she likes you to think. I think Jessa is a lot of bravado.

[truthtalk2014]

If you feel defrauded by the shirt, I want to say that every man in America should feel defrauded by the video that started playing next.

Yeah, when the Duggars did Britain, Jim Bob acted like a huge tool to the Royal Horse Guards around the corner from Downing Street, and Jessa was so embarrassed, she literally tried to drag him away. She cares what people think, and she's kind of secretly ashamed of being a rube.

[Marigold]

I saw the lollipop video! I had just posted about the pickles too!

What is with the Duggar girls and the phallic symbols???

[truthtalk2014]

Skatelady, this is the first explanation of Jessa and Ben's interest in adoption that makes any sense. Not sense to a normal person, of course, but sense in an "I can totally see them doing that" kind of way.

I think Jessa desperately wants to be Brangelina.  I'm pretty sure it is what she dreams of at night - when no one is watching.  PEOPLE magazine covers - every week!

A lot of leg humpers have said that Jessa resembles Angelina so it would surprise me. If Jessa even knows who she is, of course.

[SmallTownMom]

Wow, a video of Jessa going through the car wash.  If the girls do get a spinoff, this is the kind of boring shit we can expect.  Why would you even post this?  Stupid, lazy, uneducated morons.  That probably is pretty exciting to them.  Maybe if you had a job or did something worthwhile, you would have something relevent to share.

 

That and the FREE lollipop.  That's kind of the Duggar MO, isn't it?

I know this is wandering off thread, but I vote we all now agree to refer to Josh only as the "gelatinous molester."

Beyond perfect.

[kandinski]

It would not suprise me if they try and do the show themselves,try and recreate the 19 kids show complete with talking heads etc.Only it would be even falser than anything tlc could do.Jim bob would script and oversee the entire thing.

 

Mark my words when its cancelled they will do this.

[GEML]

The whole subplot of the car wash was that Jessa was away from home. Alone. And for a few minutes, no one could contact her and tell her to do something else, or she was doing something the wrong way.

In a minimalist way, it's rather brilliant.

I'm certain you're right. They'll try selling the episodes for $2 a pop on youtube.

LOL- That made me laugh!  Really hard. 

[CofCinci]

I don't know if I'm more offended that Jessa is giving lollipop practice BJs to the camera or that she's paying for a car wash when her family owns a car lot and a rando Duggar boy can was it for her.

[kandinski]

That carwash video proves to me Jessa loves to do the double entendre,she knows exactly how it would be viewed,same with the t shirt.I just cant decide if shes doing it to upset mom and daddy dearest,or just to bug people.

Maybe it's both ;)

[Aja]

I have a lot of trouble believing Jessa is that cunning. The car wash video just looks like a vain young woman who has been convinced since she was a small child that every single detail of her life must be utterly fascinating. She loves the attention.

[Fuzzysox]

Those Duggars are so culturally illiterate.

Nail on the head comment so spot on. They have no clue how they come off regardless of what they are doing.

 

Jill's wedding, to us tacky and cheap, to them best thing e.v.e.r.

 

Jessa's parking lot reception, tacky and cheap to us, to them best thing e.v.e.r.

 

We could write a book on the stoopid stuff they do.

Jessa has a bit of a gut in that pic.

This is THE picture for culturally illiterate.  One picture says it all! 

[BitterApple]

As I said on the Dill thread, when it comes to the Duggars, the jokes just write themselves.

[Aja]

Dear God why.

[GEML]

This is why I predict the show or the spinoff can't survive. The show is now sexualized - from pickle eating to Jessa's lollipop. I think their hardcore (pardon the pun) fans liked that there was very little of that in the show, or it was contained to give a surreptitious "thrill" (Derick and the ring).

But it's going to be everywhere now.

[zenme]

They look like a very sanitized version of the Pink Ladies--or some kind of horny bowling team.

They wouldn't be the first fundie family to try it. 

 

The car wash video...oh Jessa, with your looks you'd make a great porn actress; if only she was born into a different family. Her acting skills were pretty, uh, impressive.

Jessa Kardashian... hmm, it might have to change to Kessa. She'd be really famous then! And she could wear pants... win win.
