Whose that girl?

Just so you know she is the top reality star of the moment right now.

But she is not a law professor in Wisconsin.

Just sayn'

MamaM said...: Whoa, Dude, Are We Inside a Computer Right Now?; September 12, 2012 at 5:12 PM
ricpic said...: Tennessee Williams nailed her type: No neck monsters. He put those words in the mouth of Elizabeth Taylor to describe the kids of her sister-in-law, the hostility coming out of the fact that in the competition for Big Daddy's affection, her husband, the Paul Newman character, won't get her pregnant so she can parade her no neck monsters. Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. There was genius in mid-twentieth century America.; September 12, 2012 at 6:48 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: Are you sure she is not a law professor? I see a potential separated at birth here.; September 13, 2012 at 2:35 AM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: What is happening with BBS??; September 13, 2012 at 2:36 AM
Trooper York said...: I don't know yet. Things are still in flux. I understand they are marketing it overseas.

But Honey Boo Boo has sucked all the air out of TLC.; September 13, 2012 at 12:32 PM
Evi L. Bloggerlady said...: One day, when her parents blow the TLC money and she goes out on her own, she will likely be blowing truck drivers in rest stops across this great country of ours. I weep for the future.; September 13, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Chip S. said...: Hold on there, EBL. You'd like to live in a world where you can't get a truck-stop blow job at a reasonable price?; September 13, 2012 at 2:58 PM
MamaM said...: You'd like to live in a world where you can't get a truck-stop blow job at a reasonable price?

I no longer know what kind of world I'd like to live in, but I know it's not one in which young children are exploited and denied the freedom and opportunity to develop a sense of self based in something more than manipulation, deception and pretense. I find the eyes and facial expressions in this picture, along with the repeat animation capturing my attention in a way that feels repellent and mesmerizing at the same time. I don't know what I'm seeing, but it looks like perversion in the truest sense of the word, a turning away from what is right and good.

The contrast between this picture, and the one in the post below where humans are choosing to care for another out of compassion, respect, honor and duty, to the point of laying down their life, is very great.; September 13, 2012 at 4:42 PM
Chip S. said...: Well, if we're going to treat this show seriously, we can have a whole 'nother discussion.

Thanks to Trooper's tales of BBS, I've watched Honey booboo with an eye for the hidden story. I've inferred that the quiet "daddy" (not sure if he's the father of any of the girls, but maybe Honey) is not entirely dissimilar to the people MamaM mentioned as the embodiment of virtue (which they are). We can tell from a t-shirt that he's a volunteer rescue guy, and he may put on some kind of fundraising event for kids (tho that seems like it might be a made-for-tv event). Most of all, he genuinely cares for his lady (who's rejected his marriage offer), and has taken responsibility for her entire brood, most of which are not his offspring.

Yeah, sure, they play up redneck stereotypes, and there must be 5 shots per show establishing that these folks live next to RR tracks. But I don't see the little girl as being a victim in any way at all. Hell, she runs the fuckin' household.; September 13, 2012 at 5:17 PM
Trooper York said...: That's the thing.

The "daddy" is taking resonsibility for this "family" and might not be happy with the fact that they are on TV. The "Mom" wants to be on TV and the kid is a typical child star type like Melissa Gilbert or Dana Plato or Kim Richards or any of them.; September 13, 2012 at 6:01 PM
Trooper York said...: And the other daughters are a lot smarter than they are being portrayed by the fucked up producers. You can't just assume because somebody is from the South that they are morons.

Well except for Sixty Grit.

But you know what I mean.; September 13, 2012 at 6:02 PM
Chip S. said...: Honey reminds us of the importance of a tag line.

Maybe her Wisconsin lookalike should try "Your Amazon buy helps me get high."; September 13, 2012 at 6:15 PM

I hope they hire competent translators--especially in the Middle East.; September 13, 2012 at 6:22 PM
Chip S. said...: I don't really see much potential for BBS in Muzzystan, chickelit. Burkas are pretty much one-size-fits-all.; September 13, 2012 at 6:38 PM
windbag said...: That child is creepy and ugly. Not a cute element to her. Is that creature on t.v. currently? I'm always tempted to start getting t.v. reception around this time of year, with sports and all, but that is enough to convince me not to yield to the temptation. Merciful heavens, kill it...kill it with fire.; September 13, 2012 at 6:59 PM
Chip S. said...: Her mother's name is June Shannon. Four babies, four baby-daddies.

TLC celebrates our nation's magnificent Scots-Irish heritage!; September 13, 2012 at 7:18 PM
The Dude said...: LOL @ Troop - you pretty funny for a Y*nkee!; September 13, 2012 at 7:50 PM
rcommal said...: That little girl has not been appropriately cared for

Full stop; September 14, 2012 at 1:22 AM
Trooper York said...: I know you think that but some of these kids have a mind of their own.

Actually all the kids do. It is the parents responsibility to reign them in and make them conform to some standard of behavior. Obviously the Mom does not do this. But it is basicly the same as most of the child stars who make it big.

They are little monsters.

More born than made.

dbp said...: I cannot help but think that this show and others, such as the various "hoarders" shows appeal to a very dark side of human nature.

The appeal? No matter how shitty your life is, watch a few minutes of this and you feel like a regular Albert Schweitzer in comparison.; September 14, 2012 at 5:50 PM
The Dude said...: I watch the hoarders shows and think "How do they keep their places so darned tidy?"

But maybe that's just me...; September 14, 2012 at 6:26 PM
dbp said...: When I have seen the hoarders shows, I just wonder why they don't bulldoze and build from scratch? Seems like it would be faster, easier, more sanitary and probably cheaper.; September 14, 2012 at 6:32 PM
The Dude said...: Seriously, when hoarders have lost their hoard due to fire or whatever, they simply build a new one. It's a mental illness that manifests itself in a dramatic physical way. Seems to have a genetic component, too. Without major help the hoarders simply resume hoarding. Like Clinton.

Opps, that was kind of a homophone.; September 14, 2012 at 6:57 PM
