Your analogies don't fit. Obesity, drug addiction, and pedophilia aren't things that are caused by accidents. They aren't things that are easy. Heck being a pedophile isn't even a choice. Drug addiction, that comes from bad choices, but several bad choices over a long period of time. And obesity comes from bad choices and most likely emotional problems over a long period of time. Teen pregnancy is one bad decision and then bam your pregnant. So I very much believe that there are girls out there that see that show and think that having a baby won't be all that bad, or hard, and hey they might get to be on TV and in magazines because of it.
