TLC why!?!?!

[RaikuFA]

I have nothing to say except:

Nuke the site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure

 

[Giftfromme]

I for one enjoyed the stimulating intellectualism in that show, and it definitely appealed to me. Thanks for the link!

 

[Radelaide]

...the fuck is a "Honey Boo Boo"?

 

[Savryc]

I was pretty surprised that no one made an Idiocracy reference then I got near the bottom of page three. It's like Godwin for misanthropes. "Oh noes a shit tv program, the end is nigh"

TLC's for a certain kind of people--the kind who own too many cats.
They eat this shit up, like so many cats falling on their owner moments after they die.

At least it's not Dance Moms.
Imagine the pedophilia of Toddlers in Tiaras mixed with the glorification of studity, and loud and ignorant confrontations of Jersey Shore.

EDIT:
Also I'd like to let everyone know you're names have all been put on a list in your respective countries for watching the video. Good luck buying property in close proximity to any parks or schools.

Oh dear fucking god... The description... I don't even

"TLC first introduced viewers to TODDLERS & TIARAS star Alana, aka " Honey Boo Boo" in January, where her amusing personality and self-confidence won over viewers and her self-proclaimed nickname became a fixture in pop culture. The network has now picked up the new series HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO, an inside look into Alana's world where the six-year-old pageant sensation proves that she is more than just a Go-Go Juice-drinking beauty queen. When she's not chasing after crowns, Alana's with her family in rural Georgia doing what her family does best: four-wheeling through mud pits and picking up road kill for the family cookout. Premieres August 8 @ 10|9c
Watch Honey Boo Boo in action.
Each episode follows Alana and her family: stay-at-home mom June, chalk-mining dad Sugar Bear, and sisters 12-year-old Lauryn "Pumpkin", 15-year-old Jessica "Chubbs", and 17-year-old pregnant Anna "Chickadee". From family outings to loud and crazy family get-togethers, HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO takes us off the pageant stage and into the unapologetically outrageous family life of the Honey Boo Boo clan."

I feel weak.

It's really kind of morbid, isn't it? The way we parade these people in front of the camera so we can watch them leap around the monkey cage flinging their poo, or over-dramatizing their mundane lives and shitty jobs into some kind of romanticized American "lower-brow class?"

Seriously, who here has ever heard of--or even given a fuck about--people who live in the swamps or kill bugs for a living?

 

[triggrhappy94]

I mean, geezus, Lizard Lick repo.....fucking let an ATTEMPTED MURDER go down on camera and noone calls the fucking cops....

Lizard Lick Repo is just stupid, but isn't that on Tru-TV.
Tru-TV's just an editting mistake away from being snuff.
I've watch people get shot to death by the cops on that channel.

It's possible, but my thinking is that it's because the networks are trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and lure in the people that find reality shows like Jersey Shore good. They had some interesting shows like Fight Quest or Human Weapon that would go into martial arts, explain the history and detail the techniques about the moves and style, even on occasion break down the physics of a punch to explain why a move can be so devastating. Now the best we can hope for is that Deadliest Warrior, the show with science soft enough to spread on a croissant.

I guess we simply don't watch TV to educate ourselves anymore...

OT: Don't ever suggest you can spread things on croissants to an actual Frenchmen, jam and butter are okay but beyond that...
Why would you want to spread anything on a croissant anyway?

That's the joke, croissants are fairly fragile so you wouldn't spread something too thick on them. I stole that from Yahtzee, I didn't consider that you were French XD

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

I don't understand. I just can't even fathom why someone would think this is entertaining. The announcer was the only one who spoke understandable English. The rest of them spoke some horrible perversion of language that resembled some kind of terrible, Lovecraftian dialect which lowers your intelligence if you're exposed to it.

There is no image that can accurately depict my feelings right now, though I think this is a decent approximation:

Needless to say, my jimmies are irreversibly rustled.

 

[Andre Rapp]

normally I'm not this brutal, but these people and everyone that enjoys this dribble should be sterilized to prevent them from breeding.
we have made a society that rewards the stupid people for breeding, and the smart people have too little an incentive to breed. we need more smart children in the Gene pool, damn it!

capacha: miss you
hell yes, good tv, i do.

You are joking right? Right? Prolonged internet exposure has made it very difficult to tell.

 

[General Twinkletoes]

What...
Why is this a thing? What the hell was going through the creators mind?

I'm not actually French, but I've beenving in France for 6 years now. These are the kind of things you pick up.
And if Yahtzee said it: Well that's normal, he's British by birth. Brits and Frenchmen have some kind of underlying hatred for each other in their genetic code.
No seriously, it sounds like some ignorant stereotype but there really is some kind of hatred between these two peoples, even if they themselves don't realise it.
That's the thing that still me baffles me after 6 years...

I have only hated a kid this much once before.

sorta, though i do wish so many fucking stupid people would stop having so many fucking stupid kids.
its how you get families like THAT, and how you get enough people to enjoy watching it.

 

[FamoFunk]

There's obviously an audience for this shit. Kill them with fire and this might go away.

I know what you mean, my family's heavily Irish and for some reason they kinda seem uncomfortable when my British friend is around. I know of the conflicts and all but we're in America now, best to avoid being angry about another nationality when we're not in the motherland.

TLC has been near the bottom of the barrel for TV programming for a while now. They'll put pretty much anything they think could make money up, leading to a lot of disturbing low budget crap.

I thought this was going to be about Fable The Lost Chapters
didn't look at the off-topic thing before I read the OP :U
