Seriously, do they not have Child Protective Services in Georgia?
I guess it's fair to say Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is something of a television phenomenon. Even Jennifer Lawrence referred to it on Letterman once.
So after hearing a lot of stories about this show I figured I have to watch it and subsequently added it to the List.
Oh Dear Lord, I should not have done that. There are so many things wrong with these people that I quite frankly don't know where to start.
But let's start with the pageants this kid is being put in on a regular basis. I've had an issue with parents putting their kids through children's pageants for as long as I can remember. The whole concept is just disturbing. You dress your child up like a soft core porn star from the 1980's and have her prance about in front of judges and an audience who will then determine whose child is the prettiest. And the judges... Which adult in their right sense of mind will take time out of their schedule to watch little girls dance around in bikinis and more make up than I wear on Halloween?!
To then hear the mother tell her kid to stay off the onion rings as it makes her look chunky is rich coming from a woman who weighs well over 20 stone and is most likely not staying off the onion rings! I agree that kids should not eat onion rings, but not because that'll make them look chunky in their bathing suit!
This exemplary mom also thinks it's just splendid that her 17 year old actively tried to get herself pregnant because she had her babies in her teens, didn't finish high school and she turned out OK.... Sorry, living in a barn, serving your children onion rings with every meal and sexually exploiting the youngest one of the bunch by putting her in what is basically child cabarets is not turning out OK.
I've been ranting a lot about the mother of this family, but what about the dad? Firstly, Sugar Bear is not a name. I wouldn't even eat Sugar Bear candy if there is such a thing. And judging from his teeth, Sugar Bear should have stayed off the candy too. And I hate to make this an issue about the teeth, but throughout the show, that was his biggest contribution - bad teeth. Other than that he basically was on the couch observing his grand kingdom of crazy.
The list of things that upset me throughout watching season one of this freak show is too long, I could probably make a blog solely about everything that is concerning with this family of head cases. Poor children.
Four hours of my life that will not get back and I have officially lost faith in human kind.
