Honey BooBoo

I've been a public school teacher for 28 years in a rural area and HBB's life is very much the way many of my students grow up. She was "discovered" during an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras when she participated in a pageant.

"The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" Have you ever heard of this?
The HBB 'phenomenon' is just following a long pattern. Read the reviews on the link for thoughts to curl your toes.

Thanks for the link, Jan. I have forwarded it on to many of my friends and family with young children in school. I saw this in action when I taught high school 5 years ago when I retired. The schools today are not the schools most of us went to when we were young. I tell all my friends, family if they can afford it, either put their children in private school or home school them if at all possible. Several have taken my advice... Most people don't believe it...

I had just recently heard of Honey Boo Boo and had no clue what or who she was. Happen to catch some show about a toddler beauty pageant tonight and she was in it. Doesn't seem like pageant material to me (my opinion) .The whole show looks like a bunch of red necks. And I don't like the other show Toddlers in Tiaras. All those cute little girls dressed like adults or hookers. Shame on them

My husband has mentioned "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" and he can't stand the government and what they are doing.If it's the same person , there is a video on You Tube or something talking about the book. Wasn't the book written by a elderly women, who really knows what's going on ?

She is just a chubby Kim Kardashian. Her whole family just turns my stomach. It's embarrassing to know people from other countries maybe watching this and thinking we are all like that. And her Mom should be slapped into next week for letting her drink that gawd awful concoction of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.
Think You Tube, Facebook, blogs, etc. lots of trash for the world to see. HBB is tame compared to violent and sexualized movies, soaps and TV dramas. HBB will Run its course.
She is precocious for sure and this show portrays a real slice of society that many on this board may not have experienced...esp in light of the "trailer trash" labels mentioned in this thread. Wow!
At least this family/ parental unit is married and the family seems to genuinely love each other and do things together tho their lifestyle may not agree with ours. They look like they are having fun.
The Kardashians are having a sleazier kind of "fun" . Kim is knocked up while still legally married to the football player she duped.. No, i don't watch their show. The pastors' kid, the unmarried Jessica Simpson, is touting the benefits of Weight Watchers while proudly announcing her second pregnancy in her commercial for WW. Hmmmm.
The world is crazy, I agree.

I haven't seen the show, but have seen commericals for it. I think it's discusting and can harm her self esteem later on.
Reality shows such as this aren't worth the time and effort it takes to put them on air! IMHO
