Yes, one and the same. The mom and dad are the ones starting the business. So far they've managed to get the video on Good Morning America, CNN, and HuffPo. The mom used to to work for Inside Edition.
The mom is hot.
That's like the #2 comment on Youtube after "funny" and right above "oh, white people"

Where does "She looks like she'd be awesome in bed" rank?

How about "He has a bad haircut"?

I was barely tolerating all the "look how funny we think we can be and how head explodingly adorable our wonderful children are" crap in the video. When she started talking about how cool she was, I'd had it. I just wanted to punch them all. Especially the little boy.

But I'm sure they are nice people. :-)

Penn (the husband) is a great guy. Lots of fun, great stories, sense of humour, etc. The wife is... not exactly my kind of people.

Honestly, he seems like it. I mean, you don't do that video unless you're fun.

I just hate his haircut.

Well, she works in media, she used to work for Inside Edition, etc. So she's big into who she knows, how she knows them, and things like that. I think she misses New York and being more involved with famous people. They moved here (Raleigh) to raise the kids. She was very heavy-handed in influencing her kids' friendships (at preschool!), and is just generally less fun to hang out with than Penn.

I'm not saying she's a total bitch or anything. She's done nice things for people (including flying up to a hospital in another state when a mutual friends' young child was having complicated surgery), and is generally pleasant, etc... just not my type of person.

It's funny you say that because one of my criticisms of the video was going to be how their number of hits is falsely inflated by her connections, and not based on actual talent or interest. The line about their son's video going "viral" was what sparked that thought.

I'm sure she does miss her New York life. Probably misses feeling important in an adult world. That's natural. However, having a family is about sacrifice.

I still bet she fucks like a champ.

She claims she was defending her dog. You'd think the dog would've helped her...

This wouldn't make me mad. I'd be laughing my ass off while walking into or out of the office.

Our daughters were in preschool together at the Raleigh School, and were best friends. The moms from that year formed a tight-knit social group that meets monthly. My wife is in it, Kim was a late addition to the group, and is kinda in it.
