Babies Make 20 Times the Annual Household Income

Marketing 101, babies, animals, and old people sell!  I made the statement in a recent blog, "How does OK magazine get all the baby pics?" Then, I began a little scavenger hunt to discover: Answer: millions of $$$$$. Stars feel it’s beneficial to cooperate with magazines versus battling the paparazzi harassing and chasing them to get the shot.

Personally, I can’t say that I blame them, HOWEVER:

What amazes me is the average American family has an annual household income of 48,201.00 as stated in the 2006 US Census Bureau. We all know 2006 was a better year financially than 2007.

These celeb babies are making 20 times as much as the average American family within the first few months they are born. Talk about being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Theirs is triple platinum, diamond encrusted with a bunch of bling embedded in the handle.

I’m not sure who is to blame, the editors in crime, the ridiculous life threatening paparazzi, or we the ignorant magazine buyers that continue to entertain ourselves with celebrity unrealistic lifestyles. Really, who cares what the new Bradgelina twins look like??? Who cares what they wear or what bottle they use???

Read the safety reviews and use the time tested products that have been available for years. With an annual household income of $48,201.00 who can afford their crap on that income anyway. Most times they are buying the same stuff we do.

Take a look at these insane figures for baby celeb pictures:

• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie                 $11 million
• Matthew McConaughey                         $3 million
• Jessica Alba                                            $1.5 million
• Christina Aguilera                                  $2 million
• Nicole Richie                                          $1 million
• Jennifer Lopez                                        $4million
• Jamie Lynn Spears                               $1 million (for saying I’m pregnant she didn’t even need a kid to make the cool million)

With Hollywood’s 60 second weddings, I wonder how these little tykes feel after the divorces, custody battles, and millions are divided only to disappear? Ever wonder if they go looking for the first cool mill? Oh yeah, that was blown on baby crap.

If the American people can have a voice over this toxic infatuation and stop the madness it would be like winning the war in Iraq.
