Honey Boo Boo is here to stay
On August 8th the learning channel (TLC) first aired a ground breaking reality television show that swept the country by storm. If you haven't heard of the show then I can promise you that you soon will at some point down the road. You will either love this new massive wave of mania or dislike it. There's no middle ground in between getting caught up loving it or disliking it either.
The show is called "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", and it's all about looking inside of a little six year old's life along with her very unique family in Georgia. The show is based on the life of pageant participant Alana Thompson, who's nickname is Honey Boo Boo, and thinks that Elvis is Santa Claus' helper. Her family consist of her 309 pound, extreme couponing, 33 year old mother June, who's involved with Sugar Bear (Mike) who has the quiet role. Honey Boo Boo has three older sisters, 12 year old Pumpkin (Lauryn) , 15 year old Chubbs/Chubbette (Jessica), and 17 year old Chickadee (Anna) who's pregnant. The seventh member of the family is the pet pig named Glitzy. At one point Honey Boo Boo seriously said that she hoped that her Mama didn't eat Glitzy, because it looks like a hot dog to her, and she eats everything else.
The allure of this new hit show is filled some funny side splitting scenes of the family jumping on a make shift slip-n-slide, making it evident that heat and big people don't mix. The show has become the new Beverly Hillbillies with a Southern redneck approach, with sayings like "A dollar makes me wanna holler", and has Honey Boo Boo drinking her go-go juice which is a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew. A lady from the Etiquette School of Atlanta tried her best with them, but Honey Boo Boo insist it's for stupid people. One of the girls pointed out that at least they all have their teeth.
TLC is the learning channel, and you will definitely learn something after watching this reality show, which equals no other. It's their green light to laugh at both rednecks and fat people at the same time. Everyone is aware that reality shows are exploitation, and this show is no different. This is human nature at a depth which no one could have ever imagined. So if you don't want to be left out of the loop, take at least ten minutes and check out a reality television show where's there's no equal.
