    I'm just happy they are not from Louisiana.

    I refuse to watch, even the clip. I tried to go as long as possible without knowing who or what honey boo boo was, even though I kept hearing the name. But I watch south park & they made fun of her. So that's how I found out, but I refuse to expend any energy watching. I think 99% of all reality shows are horrible and gives me no hope in this nation, if not humanity as a whole, when I see that these shows are so popular.

    Can't we take some of the cool people that live in the south, move them north, and push the southern states into the ocean?

    This ^^

    I would like to think most people who watch it, watch it for this exact reason.

    The show is scripted (as are most reality shows) so the people who watch and actually think its 'real' are genuine idiots.
    Sad that the kids were raised to live like that but...the parents made the decision to live like that and then exploit their lives for money.

    The simple fact that you know what an IQ is and spelled it correctly will put you miles ahead of many. I would say hop in the car and head on up.

    So, these are the kinds of shows I am missing because I don't have cable or satellite? I will gladly keep my $100+/month :)

    But it would have been so awesome if they were! I guess LA has enough going for it already and deserved this break. :lol:

    I always joke with my buddy (from Fargo) that as soon as we pump the Dakotas dry, we need to give both of them back to Canada. :lol:

    I have spent time in the north and south. The south may or may not be dumber, but they are a heck of a lot nicer at least.

    I plan to move west and be done with both regions.

    Bring a season of Honey Boo Boo on DVD and you got a deal.

    Each time I think of Honey Boo Boo I experience a few thousand more brain cells rotting. Please, for the sake of my sanity, I beg you, do not mention her again!

    I watch it. It like going to the zoo and observing a different species except for the monkey throwing his sh!t is quite a bit more intelligent. I get a kick out of watching people like this, then I remember all the money they are probably making and I get mad.

    Hell yeah!

    Brett...that video is hilarious. That's some good parenting. Can't wait until I can torment my little one! :)
