Sad day for America

LATeagno

It's child abuse. That child is obese and her mother just keeps feeding her sugar. She's going to wind up diabetic. How is this any different from someone, say, exposing purposefully their child to radiation? Eventually they'll get cancer. It's absolutely just as bad. So sick. Not to mention the lack of brain... but that's another story.

Two words - Kim Kardashian

She's famous for a couple other reasons then reality tv. Helps her dad was once considered the top athlete in the world.

Then it doesn't hurt that she's smoking hot.

Wasn't her dad OJ's lawyer?

Sad thing is, I have heard of other kids who are fed these kinds of things on a day to day basis and then people wonder why these poor kids are zombies just cause the adults around them do not want to deal with them. Sickening. :sick:

I do not watch these types of shows.

Guess it's making money so we don't get to call that child-abuse:sick:

It's all about perception...Jon from Jon and Kate Plus 8 was all fine and dandy with his kids being on TV while he was in the show, but as soon as they got divorced and he moved out he had production stopped because of "child labor laws" or some horse crap like that.

Yeah, she's famous for being whizzed on on video by RayJ.

I don't really watch much TV anymore. And my family wonders why :laugh:

I watch TLC less and less because they air dreck like this. I don't understand anyone watching it, at all. Ill find better ways to kill brain cells...that's for sure.

Yes, yes he was.

Yeah the mom looks like a great role model.....Just her face in this picture... Then reading about the go-go juice.. are you kidding me!!?! Doesn't anger me, but I think it's not a great way to bring up a child. Just my 2 cents.

What expression is the child pulling?

Why is she flciking the Vs ?

Yes. He thinks her father is Bruce Jenner. Duh!

I haven't watched anything on TLC in years. wasn't that The Learning Channel back in the day?

Just like how MTV used to be Music Television.

Oh gross. THIS is attractive??! All I can think is 1) Idiocracy, and 2) Wall-E.

TRUE..BUT..... you do also have some EPIC tv shows. Seriously!

In the UK, it's all about talent shows and quiz shows. We barely ever get epic tv series like you guys do.

Our tv here is just....terrible. So, so terrible and trashy.

It's ok, over here we have My Big Fat Gypsie Wedding so don't feel like the US is all alone with the **** reality TV

we have our version of that here too. That show is mesmerizing. i had no idea we had gypsies like that here. and as harsh and different as they seem i can respect their love of family.

Is she the one whose mother feeds her a mixture of Mountain Dew, Red Bull and sugar- called something like go-go-juice to get her amped up?

YUP :frown:

Well, good. Cracked out toddlers dressed as prostitutes fit nicely in TLC's programming lineup of Strange Sex, Virgin Diaries, American Gypsies, Hoarders, and crazy obsessions. I remember when TLC just did makeovers and home shows! **smh**

The only reason I saw the preview for honey boo boo child is because I was watching Horders. I'm sorry, but that is a fascination that I cant escape.

I love Hoarders! It makes me want to go clean something! It really is serious motivation for keeping up with the housework.!

I'm cleaning out my closet as we speak! LOL

Alzzak

And people wonder why, I stopped watching tv... Books offer so much more, and no commercials

jennaworksout

agreed..some of these shows are just over the top and ridiculous...can't say I've watched them but I think I have better thing to do :laugh:

It's like watching a train wreck. It just amazes me that people can live like that and then they let them show the whole world how completely nasty they are.

We get a lot of your reality TV shows broadcast here in the UK ('Toddlers and Tiaras' - about the children who are dressed up like little woman for pageants are a particular fave! - we don't have pageants here) I honeslty don't think that as a nation you need to be embarrassed about it - no one thinks that 'all Americans are into this', everyone gets that it's just TV, and that these are the oddballs that are interesting to watch.

I love your reality shows - and am embarrassed on the part of the UK that you unfortunate people now get the odious
Jeremy Kyle, who I see has been imported to the US now - please keep him!!

There are TOO many networks with too few shows. I swear some of those networks just show cheap reality junk and then their parent companies use them as a write off.
