Jon Gosselin recently took to Twitter to share his feelings about why he no longer wants his children to appear on television. Jon said that he has been working "for some time" to remove his kids from TV. I assume it's easy to work on something like that when you don't have to work an actual job. He's been trying to keep his kids off of the TLC spinoff Kate Plus 8, which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that he wasn't asked to return to the show. To defend his position, the Ed Hardy-loving Asian said that he doesn't believe being on TV is "beneficial" to his children since, "tThey are no longer toddlers that are oblivious to what is going on around them." So...kids shouldn't be exploited unless they are too young to know that they're being exploited. What great parenting.
