Plenty of people have wondered if there’s anything the Kardashians won’t broadcast on TV. And based on last night’s season finale, I think we have our answer: heck no, there isn’t.
Kourtney Kardashian recently had a baby girl, and opted for an unusual delivery environment. While some soon-to-be moms don’t want a room full of people watching them give birth, Kourtney invited her whole family (plus Kanye West). Oh, and an entire TV crew. Who filmed the process. You can see some of the stills from the episode here, but they aren’t for the faint of heart!
Kourtney impressively finished pulling little Penelope Scotland Disick out herself.
OK, while I would never give birth in front of a bunch of people, much less on TV, I have no judgement against Kourtney’s decision to let cameras into the delivery room. After all, she’s the one who had to painfully push out a bundle of life, not me. You do whatever you want, girl! And congrats on the new little bundle o’ joy. In fact, I vote that E cancel Keeping Up With the Kardashians and just create a show about the family’s newest (and cutest) members: Penelope and Mercy the kitten. [via Gawker]
What do you think of Kourtney giving birth on TV?

i’ve seen a lot of shock about two things here: that they played this one tv and that she pulled the baby out herself. what i don’t understand is why no one made a big deal about it the first time?! haha. they showed masons birth a couple seasons ago, with everyone there, and she grabbed him then too.
i think it’s brave of her. i would never want anyone to see me give birth. lol.

birth is beautiful. Why does everyone think this is too ‘graphic’ to show on tv?
guest
Absolutely disgusting. No one should be forced to watch birth on television. The station which showed it should be banned.
guest
@jemenfouX@xanga - There are ridiculous questions, then there are ridiculous questions. Yours is the most ridiculous.
Birth may be beautiful to WOMEN, but that does not mean we men need to see it.
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - are you serious right now? Without BIRTH you would not be ALIVE. If you’re too MANLY to watch a baby be brought into the world, what are you doing watching the Kardashians anyways?
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - oh, did they come to your house, hold you eyelids open and strap you to a chair? There is a such thing as CHANGING THE CHANNEL.
guest
@jemenfouX@xanga - I don’t watch them, ever. There is a lot of exposure in the media about them though, which I find amusing. They would be nobodies if not for Bruce Jenner. Never forget it.
It should not be on ANY channel. People pay for cable television. One of those viewing choices they PAY FOR should NOT include the sight of a bitch giving birth. No one wants to see it, and they should not have to pay for it.
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - Ok, but those same tv channels are allowed to show graphic sex scenes and violence? Birth is not a dirty thing. It’s not sexual.
guest
@jemenfouX@xanga – Uh, those are MAKE-BELIEVE, sweetie. They aren’t real. You DO understand the difference between make-believe and reality, yes? Or do you?
Who said it was sexual? I never said any such thing. I only said it is disgusting, and it is. Would you want to see a video of me taking a shit? I didn’t think so.
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - what’s the difference if it is make believe or not? Things they put on TV look REAL. So, if they said it was a fake birth, but it looked exactly the same, it would be more acceptable?
I’m pretty sure they have shown people using the bathroom on tv.

@jemenfouX@xanga – You wouldn’t understand, being a lesbian libtard. I am quite unsurprised. THIS is why I despise liberals. No sense of decency.
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - Lesbian libertard? You must be really intelligent if you succumb to insults when you can think of nothing better to say.
guest
@jemenfouX@xanga – Who is insulting? I described you exactly as you are. If you think it an insult, that’s your problem, not mine. Sweetie, my IQ far exceeds your own. This is FACT. You simply do not understand my viewpoint. You have not the requisite intellect to do so. You have no sense of decency, no morals. Most liberals do not, especially the lesbian variety.
guest
@CanuckFascist@xanga - You do not even know me, so how can you describe me exacltly as I am?! How can you assume I am a lesbian and a liberal?
Seriously, if you lack the ability to have a adult conversation on the internet, don’t say anything at all to anyone.
guest
@jemenfouX@xanga - Alright. Ta ta. You are too irrelevant for me to waste my time, which is precious. Au revoir.
guest
I think it’s fine, they have all those other Baby shows on TLC, and they’re fine .

If no one wanted to see it the show’s rating would dive and the show would die…the numbers are still strong…someone has an appetite for this stuff…@CanuckFascist@xanga -

@jemenfouX@xanga - Lol he thinks everyone is gay and liberal

I don’t particularly like the Kardashians…but major props to a woman who pulls her baby out of herself (in front of everyone).
