> [@terentii](#): > > Why is shit like this ever put on the air in the first place? I came to realize long ago that most foreigners are perfectly justified in their disdain for America after seeing such crap. Because, to paraphrase David Foster Wallace, we can either _perform_ hideous acts with the payoff being that we can watch people turn into giant eyeballs, or we can ourselves turn into giant eyeballs. America is slowly but surely turning into a nation of giant eyeballs. ---

> [@Cubsfan](#): > > Women like her are the reason that men believe any woman could have sex any time she wanted regardless of her looks. It’s absolutely true. In this case it’s only true because the woman is willing to have sex with a pedophile who’s using her to gain access to her children. Most women have higher standards than that. I would hope that most men do, too. ---

Apparently Uncle Poodle has been peddling pics of Alana in bed with the molester. As a concerned gay uncle does. Always nice when the chance to protect the chirren comes with profit. ---

So Mama June has hooked up with not one, but two child molestors? Oy indeed. (I still can’t believe she’s in her thirties. She looks to be at least ten years older than that) > [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > Well, TLC could keep filming Honey Boo Boo after CPS places her, but in Georgia the state only pays for the child’s basic needs, and the rest is up to the foster family. Since most of us would never do anything that selfless, how are we supposed to feel superior? Why would they place her in foster care, when she has a father who probably already has partial custody? (Sugar Bear isn’t exactly Einstein, but he seems like a decent individual.) ---
