Thomas Beatie Post

There are a few interesting things about Thomas Beatie on the web. One that particularly marked my eye was his YouTube page. Thomas Beatie has his own Youtube page that documents the birth of his third child, Jensen. It is almost as if he is creating his own reality TV show. He sets a tripod up on some scenes in order to get key points across in his mini eight-minute webisodes. This YouTube channel and the way he documents him and his wife makes me wonder if he is having babies because he really wants them or is he trying to make himself into a celebrity. I personally think it’s good that Thomas came out on Oprah, CNN, and the other news channels but to start going into the documentary mode and make his own autobiographical mini-episode was taking it to the top. If it was for him, then fine. But if not, let the professionals create a documentary that the public would love. Feel free to check out the link below to see a couple of his videos.
