Pregnant Smoking Mom Is the New Botox Mom

This week BBC3’s answer to Teen Mom—Misbehaving Mums To Be—featured a 20-year-old who said smoking 3500 cigarettes while pregnant made her baby stronger. Smoking Mom is the new Botox Mom!

No, seriously: After going on the TV show, Charlie Wilcox did a photo shoot with freakshow photo broker Barcroft Media. (Botox Mom also worked with a “broker.”) Then the Daily Mail purchased the pictures and an interview. (Mail competitor The Sun purchased Botox Mom’s story.) Good Morning America is probably readying a $10,000 check as we speak.

Welcome to our brave new bad mommy economy. Screwing up your offspring is a legitimate career option! Well, more so than usual, at least. [Daily Mail]
