WTF is a "Honey Boo Boo" and why should I care?

[Liberal Veteran]

[charlie and algernon]

1. I think it's what happens when you drop a jar of honey on your foot

[petronius]

2. As far as I can tell, it's a child you don't want to sit next to on an airplane

TV stations are running extended PSAs to warn the public of this terrifying threat...

[texanwitch]

9. You might want a window that opens if you would be sitting next to Honey Boo Boo.

You might want to put Honey Boo Boo next to the open window.

I like watching the show but the kid really gets on your nerves.

3. entertainment for the lobotomized - just stay away from it

[HappyMe]

4. It's a terrible threat to

the brains of the nation. Another attempt by unknown forces to lobotomize the population.

[Shitty Mitty]

5. Micro-changes in air density.

[HopeHoops]

6. It's sort of like a "nana nana boo boo", but a bit sweeter.

[Arugula Latte]

7. Redneckapalooza

And before someone scolds me for using the term redneck, it's what they call themselves.

[harmonicon]

12. The "it's what they call themselves" defense is classic.

That's what you still call people n*****s, right?

[kurtzapril4]

14. I'm a hillbilly.

I call myself a hillbilly. Got a problem with that?

[harmonicon]

15. No.

I would have a problem with other people calling you that and meaning it as an insult though.

[bamacrat]

8. Evidence of inbreeding.

A true example of the downfall of western civilization.

[texanwitch]

10. The Dad on the show has no lips.

But he works 7 days a week and provides for his family.

I don't know if I could live that close to a railroad track.

The track is next to the house, in their side yard.

The family seems happy, Mitt's family could take lessons from them.

[JI7]

32. Neither does Paul Ryan

"The Dad on the show has no lips."

[William769]

16. Actually it's evidence of tolerance

Which is sorely lacking here.

[bamacrat]

20. Tolerance?

Tolerance of what? Celebrating the exploitation of a child that will undoubtedly grow up and be exponentially less happy than her parents. She has been showered with praise and "fame" and like many child "stars" will have a rude awakening when people do not care any more.

This is the rural America version of the Kardashian's.

[William769]

21. Some of the comments in this thread are down right disgusting.

Some people really need to take a look at themselves before posting.

I stand by what I said.

[William769]

25. Then it's working.

Root's out ignorance.

[bamacrat]

30. Ignorance? Really?

It's Honey Boo Boo.

[SCantiGOP]

26. No need to tolerate stupidity n/t

[RebelOne]

11. Watched it for about 10 minutes.

10 minutes time lost from my life.

[ReasonableToo]

17. I could only take 3 min. End.

[lastlib]

13. I think it's the first step in the Zombification of America.

Only qualifications for watching it is an IQ of lead and a pulse slightly above rigor mortis.

[mcctatas]

18. i don't get the vitriol.directed at them...

They seem like a family that loves each other, enjoys spending time together and tries to raise their kids to be kind. I would rather hang out with them than any of the real housewives.

[JI7]

19. i have only watched Clips but i like them better than Kardashians , Duggars

and pretty much any of the other similar type shows that are done.

[Beacool]

22. Good question.

For what I discern it's about an obese redneck family and their obnoxious toddler.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Oh, you've done it now.

Duck and cover!

[Beacool]

28. I guess the truth sometimes hurts............

[Taverner]

24. Hmmm, where to start where to start...

Remember how when we first heard of toddler beauty pageants and we thought "this can only lead to very bad things"

Well, she is one of those very bad things

[Alduin]

29. I think it has to do with either a family that's inbred or a family of "special" people.

[bamacrat]

31. Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!

Hahahahaha
