The child is as homely as her mother and aunt are - until they smear paint all over her face. If you put all that paint on Ozzie Osbourne, he'd look as good - but at least without all the crap on his face, he's still a real person. I doubt the Honey Boo Boo family knows what REAL is. They sure don't know what's valuable in life.

What kind of a person calls a little girl a w****, that itself is disgusting. While they may not be the classiest family in the world I don't believe that gives you the right to say such mean and hurtful things. This girl is six years old and is just being who she wants to be. There is nothing wrong with that. However, there is something very wrong with an adult calling a child such a mean and hurtful name. Maybe this family isn't the one that needs to take a look in the mirror and change themselves. The fact that human beings are able to say such mean things and have no shame whatsoever is sad.

I think this is a happy family that would be doing exactly the same things if the cameras were not there. If they are making money off this show, more power to them! They will at least have a source of income they would not have had otherwise. I think Alana is a sweet little girl and deserves what she has…a loving Mother and Father.

Its obvious that these kids are loved. They may not be the most sophisticatred bunch but they seem happy being themselves. They are laughing all the way to the bank! Goooo thompsons! Ha ha haters!

I love this show! I don't find them "disgusting" or "disgraceful" at all! They are actually quite tolerant (ie. the gay uncle and pig) June doesn't bad mouth the other little contestants, honey boo boo claps and cheers for all the other girls and actually enjoys the contest. She has fun living her life and is surprisingly far more tolerant and kind then most adults in her area. Bottom line: they may be uneducated and unkempt but they are NOT bad people or parents, and the show is as entertaining as honey boo boo is sweet.
