It's even worse than their obsession with Suri Cruise, and is that saying something or what!
Every single day there is an article on this child and her family and I am at a total loss as to why. I've seen an episode of her TV show and I can't believe these people would mean anything most people in the UK so why are they featured day in, day out?
The Mail online's fixation on this lot is the most bizarre thing I've seen! Someone tell me they are getting paid to promote them...at least then it would make some sort of sense.
I find it so completely bewildering even so though.

I think the DM are paid to write articles about certain celebrities, eg the Saturdays are always on the site.
Liar.
how rude. what are you calling me a liar in relation to then?
Its just a car crash waiting to happen. The mother is horrific, for some reason Honey Boo Boo thinks its attractive for a beauty queen to show off her overweight belly, and then there is her special juice, which is either energy drinks or possibly alcohol due to her slurred speech
Just imagine something off Big Fat Gypsy Weddings but worse

I'm not surprised the Daily Mail is obsessed, the family is exactly the sort of one readers love to look down their noses at, and bemoan the state of society. Perfect fodder for the average DM reader
Some though I think are what is big in the US which I suspect explains the Honey BooBoo thing - the Wail Online is very big in the US for some reason.
Not sure about their massive overload on the Cardassians - a mix of both I expect with a nice dose of "All Grown Up" for the younger ones.
Shocking way to speak to people :mad:
Yes, exactly that. It's all revenue. It's an international news/gossip website and caters for a global audience and all the crap that global audiences watch/are interested in/like to sneer at. You only have to look at the comments to see how widely read the DM site is.
Bit mystifying why people seem to think it's just geared towards a UK readership...
Car crash WAITING to happen??? It's happened hasn't it? Just look at them both in photos.
Good grief. They're like something escaped from the circus :sleep:
Her real name is Alana Thompson.
I feel deeply embarrassed for knowing even that much!
I would imagine that it's because most of America are bored with them and they need a new market for their non-existent talents...
I do find the DMs fascination with children a little weird.
It is seriously creepy and disturbing. Maybe the people investigating the BBC in light of the Saville scandal should take a look at some of those working for the Mail while they're at it.
She was made a star on the child beauty pagent shows..see "Toddlers and Tiaras" Her routine consisted on dressing like a baby hooker, showing off the belly fat and being hyper active because her hugely obese mother gave her "go-go juice" and combination of Red Bull and Mountain Dew..so pumping a six year old full of caffine and sugar. She is the youngest child, actually named Alana. The eldest child will soon be a teenage mother.They are a proud redneck family from Georgia..
Though at least Daddy bear or whatever he's called works 7 days a week to keep them in Skittles, fizzy juice, McD's and sparkly outfits. Kid pulls a strop if she doesnt win a contest - they are setting her up for a huge fall in life.
I agree. Reporting on silly little kids like this should not be in a newspaper.
Love the way the mother calls it trashy? Has she not watched her own show?
She seems happy enough, even though everyone is laughing at her.
I do admire the tremendous lack of self-awareness (despite being in beauty pageants) and that she is being herself. I just hope it doesn't turn in to something worse when she gets older.
One thing though, beauty pageants can't be accused of being sexual as much if they use little fat kids
She'll probably die of a heart attack before she's even a teenager with all the crap she consumes:eek:
