Honey Boo Boo's mother, Mama June, is now dating a child molester... WTF?

[ReverendDeuce]

I am not a fan of the show but my wife is, so from time to time I get to watch an episode. I find the show to be exploitative of these poor people but whatever, that's for another thread.

I guess it was made known that Alana's (aka Honey Boo Boo) mother "Mama June" dumped Alana's father, "Sugar Bear". Now she's apparently shacked up with a CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER! The guy was apparently dating June when the molestation happened to one of June's DIRECT RELATIVES!

He was released from prison just months ago in March and they immediately hooked back up.

Talk about RURAL PROBLEMS! Jesus CHRIST...

1. If you think this is restricted to "rural problems"

you're sadly mistaken.

3. BRAGHAAGHAAGHAAGHA! He called it "rural problems"! 3... 2... 1... OUTRAGE!

Outrage over semantics and not that the man who molested June's oldest child Anna is now poised to be in close proximity with another eight year old girl... with the mother's tacit permission!

Sometimes I really, really understand Lewis Black's frustration with people...

5. You are assuming that no one is outraged over the molestation. That is your mistake.

But go ahead and do the Lewis Black raging and arm-waving schtick if it makes you feel better.

7. by all means, he must be made to feel comfortable. After all,

6. I don't think concern over your choice of labeling denies the existence of concern over the actions

I don't think concern over your choice of labeling denies the existence of concern over the actions reported... but I can certainly see how that would frustrate someone who may type prior to thinking more often than not.

8. What rural problems are you referring to?

10. Report: TLC cancels 'Honey Boo Boo'

TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is reportedly ending its run.


TMZ says TLC has canceled the series in light of claims that the program's newly separated matriarch, June "Mama June" Shannon, is dating Mark Anthony McDaniel, a man who served 10 years in prison after being convicted of aggravated child molestation in 2004 and who is a registered sex offender.

13. I wondered where reality TV would draw the line. nt

12. It's a PR didaster.

I'll bet the other convicted child molesters will never let him live it down.
