Honey Boo Boo in the local wig shop, “Shhh It’s a Wig” Or as I call it Shits a Wig! In one of the few staged scenes of the show.

I admit, I was pretty put irritated by the idea of yet another reality show set in Georgia that makes us look ridiculous. So I put off watching Honey Boo Boo Chile for as long as possible.  But once I gave in…I …um sort of love it! TLC thankfully gives just a few scripted moments (like last night’s wig shop visit) and most of the time just lets America’s favorite redneck family be themselves. Despite the high brow folks who think the poor ignorant family is being exploited and mocked, the reality is that this family knows they are fat, and rednecks and don’t exactly eat a healthy diet, and fit a lot of negative stereotypes, and they embrace it. They practically scream, “Yes, we are rednecks, AND WHAT? You better redneckonize!”  I love them for that.

Kris Jenner on the other hand apparently doesn’t love it.  According to “a source”  close to Kris, Radar Online reports that Kris thinks June is exploiting her daughter and is a terrible mother. The horrors of putting a child in a  few beauty pageants! I reckon Kris thinks she should be getting those older girls in home porn if she wants to make the big bucks like her daughter!
