Media Coverage of the Octuplet Mom

So I find the news medias fascination with that lady who had those eight babies all at one time and already has six kids sort of fascinating myself.  Nadya Suleman is getting a lot of media attention and criticism for her decision to have implanted embryos when she already had six children.  She is unemployed and lives with her mother.  I was watching the interview she did with Ann Curry on the Today show and I find her to be a little (crazy isn't the word) but ya just a little... living in her own world!  They were saying she has a striking resemblance to Angelina Jolie and her lips do look like they have had a few injections (not judging) maybe she wants to be like Angelina Jolie? I don't know! Of course the media is going to make these sorts of accusations about her like she only wants to be famous and is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.  Her excuse for having so many kids was that all she ever wanted in life was to be a mom and to live for her children, well I think just having once baby makes you a mom?  I understand people have the right to have as many children as they want it is a free country, but I can't help but feel like she is being irresponsible for having so many kids when she clearly cannot afford.  I am sure she got paid a lot to do the interview and she will get money for various other things because lucky for her the media is fascinated by her at the moment.  Who could blame her, she has all those kids to support so smart of her to milk it.  I just don't know about it really, did she just want to be a mom that by accident got all this attention for accidently having to many kids or does she want fame, probably a little bit of both.  Sorry for my little rant but the media fascinates me in this way.
