    That woman doesn't even deserve her kids at this point.

    Harsh, but true.

    Even if there was no child abuse scandal, this show still blows chunks.

    Honey Boo Boo Down!
    TLC has announced the their hit TV series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” has been eliminated with extreme prejudice.

    Even with a new season filmed, edited and ready to air, TLC revealed that upon learning from a Facebook posting that Honey’s mother Mama June was dating convicted child molester Mark McDaniel, the network could no longer support this remarkable family series. According to their press release, TLC stated “Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority."

    Mamma June has responded on Alana (AKA Honey Boo Boo) Thompson’s Facebook page stating that she had left McDaniel 10 years ago. She calls out the press writing, “I want to make a post trying to clear up the rumors remember you can’t believe everything you read!”

    I can only hope that Mama June’s new romance hasn’t destroyed her recent husband Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson. He couldn’t be found at the local chalk mine for comment. Honey’s sisters Pumpkin, Chubbs and Chickadee are distraught about the cancellation news. It remains an open question as to how Chickadee will now save for her new daughter’s college education and the surgical removal of her extra thumb.

    This series was ground breaking on so many levels and viewers ate this stuff up. Within a few weeks of the premier episode, it had more viewers than the Fox network coverage of the 2012 Republican National Convention.

    Moreover, it allowed Americans to point and snicker at this reality TV family without reflecting upon their own degradation and pathos. “Forbes” magazine reported that TLC was trying to “portray Alana’s family as a horde of lice-picking, lard eating, nose-thumbing hooligans south of the Mason-Dixon line,” but falls short because “there is no dysfunction here, save for the beauty pageant stuff.” Of course, the fact that viewers did not understand that Honey Boo Boo is people was undisputable evidence of the great delusion of average Americans.

    The series openly acknowledged that we are a nation that loves to rubberneck at the crash site of our civilization – “but for the grace of God…” Just look at a few of the episodes that were aired during it’s four season run:

    • A Bunch of Wedgies
    • Mo’ Butter, Mo’ Better
    • Turn This Big Momma On
    • Chubby Chaser
    • Stress Poops
    • Funk Shway
    • Stand Peein’ Up
    • Yodega
    • This Couch Is On Fire
    TLC also aired multiple specials including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Of course they eclipsed competing showings of Charlie Brown seasonal specials in viewership.

    The season 2 premier episode was presented with Watch-N-Sniff cards with six smells finally bringing John Water’s world changing concept of Oderama to the average American’s living room over 30 years after the premier of his film Polyester which had a ten smell scratch-and-sniff card. Although there is a major controversy surrounding the actual smells contained in the Watch-N-Sniff card, there is some agreement that they include baby powder or flowers or candy or doughnuts, dead fish or rotten meat or roadkill, forklift foot, burning tires and a wide variety of farts.

    This series must also be considered instrumental in changing our country’s perception of gays and fat people leading us to a more inclusive society. “Out” magazine praised the series for including a gay uncle named Poodle. As Honey says, “Ain’t nothing wrong with bein’ a little gay.” The fact that Mamma June has had at least 5 different lovers (the fathers of her four children and Sugar Bear Thompson) proves that big is beautiful and crack does not kill. Inspirational!

    The series was also exemplar in presenting how the modern family adapts to the new economy. Stay at home Mamma June runs her household like a cutting edge modern business. Mamma June collects child support from each of the 4 fathers of her daughters, parlays this by playing Bingo and cuts corners by clipping coupons and eating roadkill. As reported in The Washington Post she should be praised for her “solid – if unorthodox – family values.” She embodies the new entrepreneurial revolution.

    Perhaps PBS can pick up where TLC has dropped the ball. After all, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is just a modern day version of Downton Abby with colorful characters and more realistic and salient conflicts. In the interim, hopefully HBB aficionados will post their collections on Youtube for all to share.

    If not, I promise to start a Kickstarter campaign to produce a re-mastered, boxed set of the “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” series including the un-released current season complete with a beauty pageant scrap book, an “Ain’t nothing wrong with bein’ a little bit Gay” bumper sticker, a re-issued Watch’N’Sniff card and a signed copy of the “Mo’ Butter, Mo’ Better” cookbook. Imagine spending nearly 80 hours with your family in front of the tube drinking Go Go Juice (a combination of Red Bull and Mountain Dew) made from Mamma June’s original recipe.

    Breaking News Update!!! – Flash!!!!

    Several bloggers are reporting that the Evil Kenyan Anti-Christ personally pressured TLC to cancel the series in order to allow FEMA to establish another concentration camp in the town of 700. It appears that filming on location would interfere in timely completion of the project before September 13, 2015 and possibly expose FEMA to undesirable scrutiny that might upset the sheeple. Congress will fund the project with a tax break for billionaires and businesses that are offshoring their profits.

    Honestly, I'm not surprised in the least by this.

    I'm sure TLC will find some other Freak Show (hey, that's what they're marketing all these shows as...) family to exploit in no time

    Let's see, we've had Little People (at least two shows), Two girls conjoined together sharing the same body, Rednecks and their "cute" sassy daughter... What's next?

    This trailer park meets train wreck of a show only reinforced my personal belief that indulging my too little and not enough free time with music, classic cinema, books, and NOT TV is definitely the way to go

    It just gets disturbing:

    "The 8-year-old girl who was molested by Mama June's new guy is June's own daughter, Anna ... and Anna wanted us to tell everybody.

    TMZ broke the story ... June is dating her ex, Mark McDaniel, who was released in March after serving 10 years in prison for....

    I was trying to think of something really snarky to say about all this until I came across your post, at which time the story had gone beyond a point at which any attempts at mockery or humor still seemed appropriate.

    We shouldn't be surprised things like this happen when you put freak shows such as this on display, but that still doesn't make it any less sad (or disturbing).

    As long as you people like Nancy Dubuc calling the shots on channels such as A&E and History that's never going to happen.

    This is going to drive the little girl off the deep-end now that she doesn't have a show to "perform" on and will (maybe) start to be treated like a real little girl instead of like a diva.
