"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," TLC's controversial reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family and their "Toddlers and Tiaras" daughter, hit another ratings high on Wednesday night.

The fourth episode of "Honey Boo Boo" pulled in just shy of 3 million viewers at 10 p.m., according to Nielsen overnight ratings, growing 30 percent from last week's 2.3 million haul.

In the demo, "Honey Boo Boo" did even better. The half-hour series' showing among adults 18-49 bested all other cable outings for the night — coverage of the Republican National Convention, included — to pull a 1.3 rating.

1. Misleading at best. The RNC was on multiple outlets vs. 1 outlet for HBB. From the article:

"Aggregate coverage of the RNC across networks obviously eclipsed "Honey Boo Boo" considerably."

It is funny though.......or sad.

2. That is the homeliest kid I have ever seen. And she thinks she is beautiful. Barf

3. She is only 7.

And is overweight from what her mother feeds her and makes her drink before pageants (red bull and mountain dew). I kind of feel bad for her.

5. Geez. You think it's okay to insult a kid?

really? Like this is HER fault?

7. she's a kid, she's not particularly homely, just a little overweight. all kids should think they're

beautiful, because all kids *are* beautiful.

and damn the world that tells them they're ugly.

4. I find that actually sad that people would rather watch that bizarre family

(I've seen it and I think they're the weirdest bunch I've ever seen on TV) than be interested in the future of this country. No wonder lunkheads like Rmoney get into office, few people know how ill-equiped he is. Also the Democrats haven't had their convention yet, Honey Boo will probably beat them in ratings too.

6. Hey why not....

Act outrageous and get a ticket to the show complete with a lot of fame and a little bit of a fortune.

8. Baggers not registered, or unlikely, to vote chose Honey Boo Boo over the conservaturd festivities.

Just a hypothesis.
