So... this is disturbing. And sad.

Did this video make sense to anybody else?

Maybe i'm just tired...but it started off about Honey Boo Boo and then it was all about severe birth defects. Then again, i only made it halfway.

It IS sad... and to some, probably disturbing.

I was like 'what?!', but in the end, it all made sense.

I'm not sure I made much sense out of it.

BHFD is a myth.

It's basically comparing reality tv to some sort of circus freak show.

I am sure that this video is of interest to some. Since I really could not care less about anything concerning a "honny bo bo", I could not bring myself to justify clicking the link.

Simple. It said that people are nothing more than rubber neckers wanting to get a look at the unusual. Like drivers who slow down and gawk when passing a car wreck.
I have no interest in Honey Boo Boo either. Those rednecks are only in it for the money and the little girl's mother is doing the child a great disservice in promoting and encouraging her retarded behavior. Anybody who watches these redneck reality shows can see their own IQs falling every second they stare at this kind of tripe.

Smart move.

I haven't watched the video either, nor have I watched Honey Boo-Boo, nor do I intend to, however what Wolferz has said does touch on a point that has been raised over here with the broadcast of the TV show 'Benefit Street' which featured what has been dubbed as 'poverty porn'.

There has been an increasing amount of discrimination against those on benefits in the UK, primarily because of the minority which has exploited the system and which receives the most media attention. Since media likes nothing more than a good bit of outrage headlines to sell papers/programmes, and the average Joe seems to lap it all up (judging by the amount of 'Britain first' reposts I've been seeing on facebook of late...

) then it's little wonder that this benefit discrimination has spread so rapidly, and the current government which is looking for any reason to cut benefit expenses, is thriving on the sentiment.

It seems that schadenfreude, or at the very least the seeking of self-gratification at ones higher status than others, is on the rise, and that is sad because anyone can go from well off to poor at the blink of an eye.
