I got to admit, I'm not up to date on Honey Boo Boo (that is to say, I only have a general idea of what it's about, despite all resistance).

I have no point of comparison here. To be honest, I don't even know who those two people are.

I love those guys. I seriously do. No matter how much TLC is all "laugh at these hicks because they're worse than you" I love them because they take it TO THE WALL every fucking time.

Yeah, apparently the single biggest expense they've made since receiving their (substantial) paycheck from the show is a new car. Mama puts it all into a savings fund, or so I read in an infoblurb on the Internet once.

But you know, "hur hur stupid fatty hicks. Pass the chips."

[Cramulus]

The Honey Boo Boo family reminds me of the kid who walks into the cafeteria and everybody starts laughing at him and he just owns it and takes a bow.

They got (collectively) just over $40,000 for the whole thing.

And while I accept that Honey Boo Boo is America, I don't find that family to be WALL-worthy.  I find them to be something along the lines of stunned chipmunks.

I don't hate them.  I just don't want to be America.

I loved it in every conceivable way. Whether or not she was trying to make everyone horribly, horribly , or not, that's what happened, and that's never not good, even when it's not.

If it was satire and she nailed it perfectly, good for her. If it was something else and she missed epically, good for her. That's fucking art.

The reason why 99% of all art sucks is that 100% of all art sucks, with 1% being something our sick, sad species is hungry for...and boy-fucking-howdy, were we hungry for that thing she did.

That being the case, it behooves the artist not to strive for creating something that falls into that 1% category, but to create every god-damned, god-awful, piece of suck they can possibly imagine; to play the numbers game in the very off chance that something sticks. I could guess at what she was going for there, but anything I could come up with is not nearly as glorious as what I know--she did a thing! She took creative control and pretty clearly didn't succumb to any of those weak-kneed temptations to nix any of her ideas...or even really evaluate them on merit. That in-and-of itself gets a FUCK-YEAH, from this observer.

I think Ke$ha does this quite a bit as well. She can actually sing, but if she's making money with autotune and dance beats why shoot the goose that lays the golden egg.   See also Holly brook turning into skylar grey

I mean WTF. But hey I'm happy for her. Disregard art, acquire currency.

Nope, the first couple seasons they got paid peanuts and basically straight-up exploited, but then Mama negotiated for a significant amount more. Not "rich as fuck" more, but "the kids are taken care of" more.

I consider them a damn sight smarter and more real than most Americans™. I've watched a bunch of episodes (RESEARCH, GODDAMMIT) and I'd rather they be America than what we're actually stuck with.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Let me put it this way; the reason the show is so popular is because most Americans feel superior to them. And the reason most Americans feel superior to them is because they're weird. They're weird in a not-pre-rich way.

And they don't give a fuck.
