Five Clips from Jennifer Aniston's 'The Switch'

It's a slow news week over at Fox when they can't even cook up a story with more meat to it than Bill O'Reilly's recent calling out of Jennifer Aniston. He didn't completely bash the idea of single parenthood but said that Aniston's recent comments that women can rely on means of conception other than having a husband/father were "destructive to our society." Why is it a subject in the first place? Aniston's new movie, The Switch, a comedy about artificial insemination. O'Reilly said that Aniston's permissive attitude about sisters doing it for themselves could creep into the minds of 12- and 13-year-old girls and give them the idea that boys were unnecessary after the deed. While research shows that single-parent households have increased risks for criminal activity, poverty, and a bunch of other things that underscore part of O'Reilly's point, I think the criticism aimed at a comedy is probably misdirected. And it's not exactly the spirit in which Aniston meant it, since her movie is about a chick in her 40s who can't find a man and wants a kid. Speaking of her movie, here are five clips from The Switch, and if you see the movie when it hits theaters this weekend, chances are you won't need to bring a copy of The O'Reilly Factor for Kids to get it signed.

I don't really care whos right or wrong here. From the way I am thinking, if a parent is single, they have to take care of more than just themselves, right? If they have to take care of more than just themselves then they probably have to work a lot more to make ends meet, that probably means the parent IS going to be home a lot less to influence and raise that kid, and if thats the case they are probably missing an important fabric in life. Its just tough and something in life that happens but I can see where Bill is coming from and then there is where I can see Jennifer Anniston is coming from. When you make a few million a year, you can hire good people to take care of your kids and be single for the hell of it. Most Americans aren't Jennifer Anniston, so hopefully they take what she says in context to the person. There is nothing wrong with being a single parent but I would expect it to be more stressful in that family's lives then others that are not.
