Oddity

The Resume

    (July 18, 1965- )
    Born in Springdale, Arkansas
    Star of TLC's '17 Kids and Counting'...then '18 Kids and Counting'...then '19 Kids and Counting'
    Republican legislator in the Arkansas House of Representatives (1999-2002)
    Married to Michelle Duggar

Why he might be annoying:

    His birth name is James Robert, so it would only make sense he'd go by the non-stereotypical southern name of Jim Bob.
    He made a commitment in junior high that he'd never date a girl who was non-Christian.
    He blames birth control pills for his wife's miscarriage (hence 19 children).
    He loves telling people he's a pro-life, conservative Christian.
    He unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the United States Senate (2002).
    When asked how he supports his 19 children, his answers are very vague (we know some money comes from a reality show on TLC).
    TLC pulled '19 Kids and Counting' after news surfaced that his son, Josh, had sexually molested five underage girls as a teenager (May 22, 2015).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He says shopping at thrift stores and garage sales, as well as living Biblically, are good ways to save money.
    He is a licensed real estate agent.
    When you factor in how many times you have to have sex to conceive a child, and the fact that he has 19 kids (as of 2010), it's fair to say he has a healthy sex life.
    His number one goal is for each of his children to have a close relationship with God.
    His family was chosen to appear on TLC's '19 Kids and Counting' after they were featured in a Parents Magazine article.
    His favorite part of the day is 'Bible time with daddy.'
