Holy cow.  I just watched that extended promo video and just...

The stupid nicknames are one thing, but these people apparently own them!  Like, seriously own up to being called "Chubbs" and "Sugar Bear". 

Doing some basic math though, "Mama" was all of 15 when she had "Chickadee" which would have made "Sugar Bear" 23 at the time.  Yeah.  I guess it's progress that "Chickadee" is the "pregnant-est" at the grand old age of 17.

This is what the Mayans foretold.

I keep hoping they were right and Quetzalcoatl will return to bring his enlightenment. 

I remember when the Learning Chanel was about, learning.

They had some interesting shows. Not anymore. Now, awesome shows like "How its made" are on the Si-fi Chanel.

Oh, TLC....is there no bottom to your depraved sinkhole?

The term baby mama and baby daddy needs to end.

I was trying to think of who the mom reminds me of in TV. Then it hit me. Kevin from the office.

Is the internet rumor true this got better ratings than Romney's speech?  Terrifying.

That kid is not even one tiny bit cute, i don't get this at all.

Apparently the gates of Jotunheim are open in the american south, though.

While TLC wracks in millions.

Rakes?

Reviewers all but barfed but Americans, it turns out, can’t get enough of Honey Boo Boo, mom June, and the rest of the clan, which includes two other sisters by two different dads, the newborn infant of one of the teenaged sisters, and various men, some of whom come with nicknames that seem straight out of quaint novel about those colorful southerners, like Sugar Bear.

Sure enough, a backlash to the backlash soon developed. Honey Boo Boo, various critics proclaimed, might be eating cheese balls for breakfast on camera, but no matter! The show is really about the love family has for one another! How dare we critics living in upscale enclaves like New York City and West Los Angeles, turn our blue state Pinot Grigio sniffing noses up at this proud Red Bull redneck clan living in red rural Georgia? That Here Comes Honey Boo Boo trafficked in and showcased the grossest of gross stereotypes about lower middle class southern white folk was deemed inconsequential. The family, led by matriarch June, was in on the joke. How could the family be exploited if they actively wanted to be exploited?

Well, something called dwarf tossing was once legal too. Really, folks. It was quite a big deal when I was a teen, and people defended it in the usual ways. The little people are okay with it. They have a hard time getting jobs, so why not stuff them in padded suits and toss them at padded walls? It’s funny and no one is getting hurt. It’s a paying gig, right? Well, after a few years of this, most of us agreed that dwarf tossing was not so humorous, and states like New York and Florida moved to ban the popular nightclub stunt attraction. Pretty soon, we had dwarf families celebrating their freedom from padded suits by getting their own reality shows where, to the best of my knowledge, they did not get tossed.

So back to Honey Boo Boo. This is where I go all serious on you, and point out that you might think you are watching a show about a loving if unconventional family but what you are really doing when you turn the television on to this train wreck is participating in the destruction of what is left of the American working classes. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is an unintentional reality show documentary demonstrating what happens when the jobs go away, and there is little way to make an honest living. You see social dysfunction, teenage moms, semi-employed men who come and go, maintaining tangential relations — at best — with their children. You get moms who actually think kiddy beauty pageants are their ticket out of poverty — if only their child can win the jackpot. You get families that are so off the grid of middle class life, the only chance they have of living in that world is to agree to offer up their own hardscrabble lives as entertainment for the rest of us.

I did too.  Except for the Carpet Combing.  That sounds rude.

And yes, that stupid giant Jabba the Motherfucking Hutt mom's only chance of scraping by with that little fat shitbag daughter is submitting her to a beauty contest. Shame she can't tell her kid is fucking ugly.

This deserves to be repeated. That kid is fucking UGLY and is a stupid little bitch to boot. Its like the picked the most repulsive shitbag from Toddlers and Tiaras and decided to make an even more revolting spinoff from an already revolting horror series.

Child molestation leads to TLC finally being offended by Honey Boo Boo

After four seasons of encouraging the entitled behavior of a Red Bull-and-Mountain Dew-fueled child, simultaneously celebrating and gawking at a family that makes games out of farting and huffing each other’s mouths, and generally wallowing in a slop trough of snot, mayonnaise, and exploitation, TLC may have at last found something about Honey Boo Boo that offends them.

Earlier today, a report surfaced on TMZ that family matriarch Mama June had rebounded from her recent split with Honey Boo Boo’s father, Sugar Bear, by dating Mark McDaniel—a man who more than makes up for his lack of a nickname with his equally cringe-inducing criminal past. Specifically, McDaniel just completed 10 years in prison for “forcing oral sex” on an 8-year-old child—a child who also happens to be a relative of June’s. And even for a channel that has otherwise gladly trafficked in all forms of disgusting behavior, quasi-incestuous child molestation may be where TLC draws the line.

“TLC is not currently in production on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. We are very concerned about this new information and are reassessing the future of the series,” The Learning Channel said in a statement, noting the first time any sort of “learning” has taken place around that network in years. As Deadline reminds, the series, which just wrapped its fourth season, is already on a ratings decline to match its cultural one, with less than 2 million viewers tuning in this year to catch up on the family’s proudly redneck antics. Now the network just has to decide whether, at long last, “molestation of an 8-year-old relative” is the sort of redneck antic it simply can’t endorse.

"TLC has cancelled the series HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately. Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well-being."

Mama June's New Man Molested Her Daughter And She Wants You to Know 10/24/2014 2:39 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

The 8-year-old girl who was molested by Mama June's new guy is June's own daughter, Anna ... and Anna wanted us to tell everybody.

TMZ broke the story ... June is dating her ex, Mark McDaniel, who was released in March after serving 10 years in prison for forcing a girl to perform oral sex on him. June has been dating McDaniel since his release -- something she denies despite photos and other evidence -- and that's why TLC cancelled "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

Sources tell TMZ ... Anna Cardwell -- who is now 20 and married with a child -- believed her mom earlier today that she was not dating the man who molested her.  But we're told Anna has now received a lot more info, and is now convinced June betrayed her by seeing McDaniel again.

Anna -- known on the show as Chickadee -- wants it known she's the victim because it makes what her mom is doing all the more egregious. We're told Anna feels her relationship with her mom has been destroyed, and the only way June can see her granddaughter is if McDaniel is nowhere to be seen.

We're also told TLC reached out to Anna today to offer her counseling.

I'd actually argue that being on that show was the least of the kids' problems. This news just compounded that. With or without the show they're still stuck with a real shitbag of a mother.

My thought was that the show was a multiplier effect. They had to act even crazier to get ratings, and the whole thing just continued to spiral into this.

I got into an argument with a 23 year old about this show about two months ago. I said shit like this was exploitative and that the producers should horsewhipped for basically ruining these kids lives by perpetuating the idea of stupidity as entertainment.

She argued that it wasn't exploiting them at all, and that they all get the benefits of being on a show.

I'm going to enjoy sending her an email with these links.

The best case scenario for them now would be for HoneyBooBoo to sue for emancipation and go live with her sister while there's still some TV money left. I don't know anything abouot the show other than a few clips, but a do know that a parent who not only doesn't kill a person who throat-fucked their 8 year old, but waits for them to get out of prison to date them again is a parent not to be trusted.

I want these people to get brutally murdered.

I want that of a lot of reality tv people.

I was sort of shocked they only made $20k per episode. Sort of a shitty deal for 4 seasons if their total take was only $1M gross, split across the family.

Rednecks are not known for making savvy decisions about... well, anything really.

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, 20, sat down with E! News last night to discuss the reports that her mother has rekindled her romance with the man who molested Anna when she was eight years old. Anna says Mama June "can be very selfish. She ain't tell me she love me in a long time."

Mama June has denied that she's dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, but the two have been photographed together with Mama June's nine-year-old daughter Honey Boo Boo in recent months. Anna says Honey Boo Boo and her sisters are in danger if McDaniel's around. She also adds that photos of Mama June and her recent ex, Honey Boo Boo's dad Sugar Bear, are just for show. "Mama is basically using Sugar Bear," she says. "She's using him to cover her ass."

You can watch a video of the interview here.

If all that's not upsetting enough, Anna suspects that Mama June is siphoning money—her children's money, specifically—to McDaniel. Anna explains:


Mama June denied that claim to E! News: "I have never brought a car for him and all her money is there, beside the money I have given her to live on—$400 every month and pay her $475 each month for cell phone bills for the last two years. That's the only money I have taken out of there."

Honey Boo Boo shared a hotel bed with her sister's childhood molester and Mama June, her uncle has claimed.

Lee 'Uncle Poodle' Thompson told the National Enquirer that he saw his nine-year-old niece Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana Thompson, cuddling her mother and Mark McDaniel during a trip to Cherokee, North Carolina in September.

McDaniel, 53, is accused of repeatedly molesting Honey Boo Boo's older sister Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell, now 20, when she was just eight.

McDaniel, then Mama June's boyfriend, served 10 years behind bars and was released in March, and he has been rumored to be seeing the 'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo' matriarch again.

"I don't know what men she's turning down, but the ones she's pickin..."

I'm pretty sure he knows damn well what men she's turning down.

even she could possibly find herself a decent guy if she said no to the losers for a while.

no

That could be the best grief title ever, btw.

June Shannon, a.k.a. “Mama June” from the TLC reality TV series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, was arrested this week and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

TMZ reports that Shannon and her boyfriend, Geno Doak, were arrested at an Alabama gas station on Wednesday following the report of a domestic incident between the couple. While performing a search of their vehicle, police found crack cocaine, a needle, and a pipe.

Shannon and her daughter, Alana, came to fame on the TLC reality series Toddlers & Tiaras, which led to their own spin-off series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. After four seasons, Honey Boo Boo was cancelled when Shannon became involved with a registered sex offender. More recently, Shannon starred in WE tv’s From Not To Hot, which chronicled her 300 pound weight loss.

As for why she was gambling at all, who knows. Maybe after a bump in the road, ya just gotta let the good times roll.
