Okay so let me start this off by saying that there is a certain show by the name of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo that airs on the TLC channel. It’s disgusting. It’s a show about a seven year old girl named Alana Thompson, nicknamed Honey Boo Boo Child. Also, it’s about her redneck family and the different kinds of mishaps that they get into. So I was surfing through the channel and was looking for something to watch and I came across this show, and man was it terrible! There was this one episode where ‘Ma Ma’ Alana’s mom was going to the store and trying on dresses to prepare for a commitment celebration for ’Sugar Bear’ and ‘Ma Ma’ even though its not a true wedding . She took her three daughters ‘Honey Boo Boo‘, ‘Chickadee’ and ‘Chubbs’ to the store and of course they leave a mess behind on one of the tables and did not even bother picking it up.  Then on one part Alana mistreated her pet pig by carrying it upside down from a crib, a crib! She also pretended to fall asleep while trying to avoid talking to Dr. Drew! She was also making ridiculous noises while he was talking to her and she also swatted at him! Her mom June aka ‘ Ma Ma’ keeps giving her this stuff called ‘ go-go ‘ juice which is a bad thing because it’s a mixture of Mountain Dew and Red Bull. With that combination it serves as two cups of coffee since it’s caffeine. What part does her mom not understand that caffeine is bad for her daughter’s health and that it could kill her. Also, on the show the parents cuss in front of their kids, because one time June, ‘Honey Boo Boo’s’ mom woke up all the kids and family just because Alana wanted to see a live turkey at a persons farm. Then she told them “come on, get up! Let’s go milk some fu%@king cows!” Also, on the one episode I was watching, at the end when the mom finished speaking about the fact that her husband Sugar Bear ended up in the hospital she said “Now I’m going to go take a sh*t.” Yeah, like we need to know all that, really. The thing that gets to me was the way Alana dresses, ugh! Her mother makes her wear all of this ridiculous makeup and pink girly dresses, along with those sunglasses and she parts her lips like a fish and then along the lines she say’s “You better redneckognize!” She is too young to be looking all grown like that. Then on Toddlers and Tiaras she was wearing all of these revealing costumes and her mom jumping up and down like a crazy person, telling her to shake her rump, spin around, and all that other crazy stuff. I also, think that the parents are just having their own daughter behave like that is because they are just in it for the money. Thats wrong, because they are having their own daughter suffer embarrassment from how she behaves on tv, and she can’t even think of her actions neither. They really need to show her some discipline before she takes her actions on other kids. So this is why ‘Honey Boo Boo’ is a bad role model.
