I've never watched HBB, I just hope she does get to have a normal childhood eventually. I have to agree with you about the Kardashians though. I happened to walk into the room when an episode was on yesterday and couldn't believe what I was hearing. If you are going to behave that way, please keep it to yourself!! Am I wrong in thinking there is something sick in the minds of those who have to broadcast their sexuality so blatantly?

Honey Boo Boo show is not as idiotic as a number of shows of similar nature

Boo Boo and her family will take a lot of crap because they are white, Southern, rural, working-class.

Look at all the shows featuring Black Thugs and Black GangBangers....and no one dares to comment on those because “you’re a racist” if you do so. And all the White Guilt Liberals watch that crap because its “multi-cultural”

The HBB family may not be able to solve differential equations...but they sure are not the bottom end of the food chain.

Honey Boo Boo is at the top of the intellectual food chain.

After decades of education of American children by similarly ill-educated socialist union thugs, Honey Boo Boo is the highest peak of intelligence that most people are capable of understanding.

Wow, calling Honey Boo-Boo a dumb, exploitative show? HOW INSIGHTFUL! No one has EVER suggested this before. Other than about 100,000 other commentators. Months ago.

<><><><><><><

My father would have considered that an excellent example of damning with faint praise.

Something ‘not as idiotic’ as something else seems by definition to be idiotic.

But I’m not going to condemn too loudly, I like watching the Walking Dead.

Being attracted to hookers is just another sexual orientation.

The only people who speak about “Honey Boo Boo” are urban leftists.

I am convinced the show was created for them. They watch this exaggerated and ridiculous show to simply get easily digested confirmation of their own warped ideas and prejudices about what life in “middle America” is like.

It was created by rich people who live in Los Angeles. And other media people who live in Los Angeles watch the show and talk about it on their shows.

That's why so many people have heard of it. But I suspect more people in Middle America/Flyover Country watch the show than Harvard or Columbia professors or urban activists.

Three million viewers is a big hit for a cable show. If you can get one American out of one-hundred to watch the show you're a success, but it still means most people in all parts of the country the country aren't watching it.

Um, I don't think they actually do watch those shows.

Which might be one reason why they don't comment on them.

Today on Cavuto, he played a clip of Honey bo bo’s mother outlining the trusts she established to manage the daughter’s income for when she was older. Honey said some good words commending the saving actions.

The family lives on the fathers income and clips coupons and is generally thrifty.

Niel issued the ultimate insult to Lew by announcing that Honey Boo Boo would make a better secretary of treasury than Mr Lew

Since we aimed so low with Obama, I don’t see why we should discriminate against Honey Boo Boo.

It goes beyond the tv show. If I was saddled with that last name, I would have changed it and lived a low profile life in shame (after all, it was their dear daddy who helped OJ Simpson get away with butchery). Instead, they flaunt it, while the Mama pimps out her kiddies on national tv. That people actually watch them, think they are newsworthy, and buy their merchandise...America is done. Disgusting.

I saw that stunt with the toilet paper.

If I ever did that as a child I would have been spanked and sent to my room.

That child is a brat.

I will admit I have watched it,mostly out of boredom.

It’s garbage and I damn near vomited when I saw the part in which they belched in each other’s faces.
