Honey Boo Boo's Mama June Slams 'South Park'

Reality matriarch found Trey Parker and Matt Stone's send-up 'trashy'

By Kenny Herzog Oct 16, 2012 9:05AM
A couple weeks back, we shared the sumptuous news that sketti-cooking woman "Mama" June Shannon and her daughter, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, would be skewered on an episode of "South Park." And in case you missed it, we've included a particularly standout clip below. Though if Mama June had it her way, the parody would never have aired.

Bing: "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"|"South Park"

In a scenario overstuffed with irony, Shannon and Alana appeared on "TMZ" and derided  the "South Park" characterization of her and her family. "That show is not a show I would want to be on to begin with," she explained. "The previews looked like it was going to be OK, but just the way they portrayed the show, it was kind of trashy."
 
 
Wethinks that was the point, but what do we know about comedy?

I thought South Park was being insensitive.

Until I saw the real Boo Boo and realized they were being generous.

Honey Boo Boo and the family themselves aren't the problem. It's the people watching the show and us idiots who keep talking about it and making it relevant. If nobody watched this program, then there wouldn't be any problem. We should be ashamed of ourselves as consumers. The media only puts out there what people want, and American's love their stupid trash. We are all to blame for being a low-brow society (myself included).

Mama always said trashy is as trashy does. And Honey Boo-Boo Mama has no right to call anyone trashy. You put yourself out there, you take your lumps.

Well, thanks a lot, numbnutz.
What the hell's the point in linking readers to a video that is not there?

The only thing that woman cares about is her 15 minutes that should've been up about 5 months ago!

WOW! Like she's got ANY ROOM to talk!!! I wouldn't be caught dead watching that disgusting mess they are on!!! These people openly eembrace the stereotype of southerners being bad-mannered, uneducated toothless gravy-drinking moonshine making dullards that a lot of southerners take offense to. They should've NEVER put that mess on the air. People with HALF a brain don't find this "show" entertaining or if they're like me they refuse to tune in. I used to like TLC. It was worth watching. Now, it's just another channel I flip past.

Say what you will about "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", one thing is obvious - Mama June loves her children unconditionally, and they love her. As far as "South Park" goes, it is an animated tv show, intended for ADULTS. It is trashy, vulgar, and full of sick, potty humor. Do I enjoy the show? Yes, of course I do, I'm an adult. But, I do not let my children watch "South Park"; nor, for that matter, do I let them vegetate in front of the tv for more than an hour on school nights, or two hours on Saturdays. LOL I didn't spend thousands of dollars on a library full of books, music CDs, Disney DVD's, all the latest educational/ science kits, dozens of interactive family-style board games, and good ol' fashioned Hoyle's checkers, cards, and chess sets, for my family to waste time watching the boob tube!

"Mama" June and TLC should be charged with child abuse.

I feel really bad for Honey Boo Boo. People are talking about her like she is an adult. This is a child. I know her mother should have been worried about that when she agreed to be on the show, but really how much of that was the little girls doing?? I just feel bad for the little one. People, adults calling her fat, and say all type of bad things about her family. It is just sad....

Completely inaccurate. Honey Boo Boo's mom has three chins, not two.

Does she not realize that was the point!!!  South Park is always over showing things to make you see just how dumb they really are and this "reality star" is no different.  I laughed my **** off at that episode.  South park will always be one of my favorite shows.
