"...Speaking Of The Olympics...Why Isn't InBreeding An Event Yet?..."

First things first.

I did not write the following piece.

It was written by a young lady named Taylor Bigler.

Taylor Bigler is the Entertainment Editor for a website called The Daily Caller.

The rest is self explanatory.

If you thought “Toddlers and Tiaras,” the reality series about little girls on the beauty pageant circuit and their horrifying stage mothers, was the lowest that reality programming could possibly get — you would be wrong.

“Toddlers and Tiaras” is so successful that TLC (which formerly stood for The Learning Channel, mind you) gave one of its stars, Honey Boo Boo Child and her family, their own series called, natch, “Here Come Honey Boo Boo.”

If you are unfamiliar, Honey Boo Boo (real name Alana Thompson) is a six-year-old beauty pageant contestant who, when she isn’t dancing on stage in pounds of makeup and fake tanner, drinks “go-go juice,” a blend of Mountain Dew and Red Bull given to her by her mother.

After watching the 30-second “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” trailer, a dose of “Toddlers and Tiaras” might actually serve as a palate cleanser.


Critiquing the ever growing ranks (read: ever spreading virus) of reality shows, is an exercise in futility.

Because America is now so gol durn total caught up in gittin' their freak on that any "review" of these shows is gonna be a grain of sand on the beach (or spittin' in the ocean, as it were).

So, no critique here.

And no REview.
Just a little PREview.
And a sense within myself that, one way or another, I have done a good deed today.

By letting you know that Honey Boo Boo is coming.

Or warning you that Honey Boo Boo is coming.

And no thanks, or payment, is expected or necessary.

Although, Honey has the right idea.

A dolla makes me holla, too.
