Dear Heidi and Spencer:

I actually don't know what show you come from. Some reality show, I gather. I do recall David Letterman ripping you to shreds, Spencer, some time ago on his show. It was vintage David, actually. So funny that I saw it replayed on the little TV in the NYC taxi I was riding in probably a week later.

Anyway, I digress. Now, aren't the two of you the ones who went on some other reality show and you went to the jungle or something and decided to come to Jesus? I think there was a baptism in the water or something. Was that you?

Anyway, what I'm finding with your public personas isn't the kind of disdain I have for the whole Gosslein 'celebrity' circus. It's a new kind of feeling that I haven't been able to put a word on. It's nothing short of yuck, but that's not quite it.

I think it is tragic that a beautiful young girl has such a low self esteem that she had ten plastic surgeries in one day. That she is at the legal limit for plastic surgeries in CALIFORNIA? Really? I think it is criminal that the guy who says he loves her actually encouraged this. I saw a clip of Heidi's mother saying, "Enough." She was so, so right.

And so I sit here wondering, yet again, how we will explain you two to the next generations. When they ask, "Now why were these people on TV?" we will have no good explanation.

Maybe you should've stuck with Jesus.
