Jon Gosselin claims that he didn’t really say that he wanted a 9 to 5 job instead of working on his reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8.” At least he says that someone asked him if he would prefer a regular job, and he said he would, but he didn’t mean it that way. Then he went and shot himself in the foot by revealing how little experience he has with actual work, saying that “9-to-5ers punch in and punch out and you have no responsibilities.” Are you kidding me? Even when I worked in jobs with set hours, like at a grocery store and a gas station, I had plenty of responsibilities and headaches, some of which I inevitably took home with me. If you’re talking about office work it’s rare to find a job that’s strictly 9 to 5 in this economy, and most all require you to juggle multiple projects and clients. What planet does this guy live on?

Don’t count Jon Gosselin out of the picture just yet.

Reports of his saying he’s ready to withdraw from TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 are not only premature – they just aren’t true.

“I never said that,” Jon told PEOPLE while speaking outside his house on Wednesday. “A fan asked me, ‘Don’t you sometimes wish you could go back to a 9-to-5 job?’ [And my reply was,] ‘Yeah, because this is 24/7 and 9-to-5ers punch in and punch out and you have no responsibilities.’ ”

Pointing to the paparazzi collected outside his family home, Gosselin said, “Here … you have to watch what you say so it doesn’t contradict something else.”

He believes the story was the result of someone having “overheard something that was nothing.”

Clearing up other misinformation, Gosselin said, “And the other one was that the kids didn’t want to film anymore. No, they just didn’t want to film that day.”

That’s easily explained, too. “It’s 96 degrees outside and they just said they wanted to go in the pool. So guess what? They took their clothes off, put their swimsuits on and jumped in the pool … I just looked at my producer and said, ‘What are you going to do?’ ”

As for his literal fashion statement – being photographed in a T-shirt bearing the message, “Lies, Lies” – Gosselin says: “I just thought it was funny, because people can write anything about me … How can you write something about me or say something about me without actually asking me?”

In terms of Jon’s asinine question explaining his Lies, Lies Lies t-shirt: “How can you write something about me or say something about me without actually asking me?” the answer is simple: we just read and listen to what you say. Even when people ask Jon a question and report his answer, he still whines that it’s incorrect. How stupid is this man? Yesterday we heard Kate Gosselin compare divorcing Jon to divorcing a 15 year-old. There are plenty of 15 year-olds with a greater sense of personal responsibility than Jon. Most would gladly give up low-paying menial jobs for a chance to earn tens of thousands being filmed hanging around their house and running errands. I really hope that TLC cuts him out of the show, and that he gets creamed in his divorce with Kate. Let’s see how he fares when he tries to make it on his own. He still has infinitely more opportunities than the average person, but it seems obvious that he’s going to piss away his chances at earning a living. His idea of how the world works is outrageously skewed. He has no idea of what he wants or how to get there, so he’s just complaining and moping through life, hoping something will change and believing that everyone has it better than he does.
