Octomom Pulled Over for Driving While on the Phone

by Terrence O'Brien on June 4, 2009 at 06:06 AM

As if the public needed another reason to disapprove of Octomom (because having 14 kids while living in her mother's basement and collecting public assistance wasn't enough), the super-fertile Californian has now become the latest casualty of what seems to be a nationwide crackdown on driving while talking on the phone.

Octomom (the subject of the next installment of 'X-Men Origins') was pulled over by police in La Habra, California for driving with her ear glued to her mobile phone, no doubt arranging babysitters for her small army of offspring.

Octomom (whose secret identity is Nadya Suleman) will have the choice of paying a fine, or fighting the ticket in court. Seeing as recent studies compare driving while using your cell phone to drunk driving, and seeing as she had one of her myriad children with her, we wouldn't expect too much sympathy from a judge.
