Or rather, not...
People love to throw around hyperboles. One that has come to light in the media lately is the “slew of recent movies” or headlines about teen/unplanned pregnancy that have made it a popular topic for shows. “Slew” a bit of an overstatement.
First, they always mention the same three things: “Juno,” “Knocked Up,” and Jamie Lynn Spears. Both movies came out in 2007, which was also when Spears announced her pregnancy. Not exactly recent headlines.
Second, aside from the new way NBC has configured to lower our IQs, “Baby Borrowers,” there aren’t that many new shows revolving the topic.
So I am thinking the “slew” of movies and headlines leading to the increased number of shows is, well, just not so. It’s just something to talk about. Or fill up blogs. Like here.
