“There goes Honey Boo Boo” — that should be the new title, ha ha.
NEWS: TMZ reports that TLC has cancelled “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” in the wake of allegations that June Shannon, aka Mama June, is dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel.
According to the TMZ, the network has already shot an entire season of new episodes, but will not air them due to the allegations, as they believe that Shannon is putting her children at risk.
In a world that ignores and covers up domestic violence and child abuse in professional sports, where whole networks are dedicated to hunting and killing animals, I am skeptical of TLC’s swift action to cancel “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”.
Is it a ploy to placate those of us who are outraged?
Is it just another spin — will HCHBB be reinstated after a short period of time, like that other stupid show, “Duck Dynasty”?
Or is this another kind of spin to garner more publicity and gauge the pulse of the public with regard to just exactly how much we’ll tolerate?
Were the advertisers outraged?
This is all speculation on my part because I don’t watch the show.
And why not, you might ask?
Yes, it’s offensive on a myriad of levels, but the major reason is that it pains me to my core to watch so many horrible fashion choices.
Happy Friday, y’all!
Great post – I just love the punch line 😀

You’d have to duct tape me to a chair and glue my eyelids open. I do not understand why ANYONE watches that stuff. Fashion choices are just the beginning of my litany of the awfulness.

Got ya all agitated, huh? That’s what DUGGAR stuff does to me. I get so mad and disgusted that I’m sputtering. I’ve watched enough of all that drivel that it makes me despair for our world.

What you don’t like camo wedding dresses? I never liked the concept of the show because I don’t think little girls should be subjected to dressing up like they are 21.

I admit I may have watched this once or twice. I was left wondering if theses people could really be as awful as they’re portrayed on the show? Maybe it’s an act because an average family wouldn’t be interesting enough for TV.

I’ve often thought about pitching The Real Housewives of Carlsbad” but first, I know my hub would REFUSE to be part of it, and also I don’t think anyone wants to see me in sweats and tshirts with holes in them as I bleach tile. Cos that’s my life (when I’m not shopping, that is!)

Jim and I did away with television and cable in September 2012. We have not missed it. He watches old shows like Will & Grace, Rockford Files, All In The Family online, and I just listen to my huge music collection. I’m in 1974 right now.

No. 1974 is still a little too early for mainstream disco.
