  • Honey Boo Boo Made Of Trash Sweeps Web

    Honey Boo Boo Made Of Trash Sweeps Web

    Honey Boo Boo, a.k.a. Alana Thompson, has taken the world by storm with her TLC reality show, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”. Her family has become the topic of fascinated conversation since the show premiered, charming audiences with their unabashed Southern ways (see: Redneck Games) and compassion for gay rights, which to many seem contradictory.

    But the family has also become a source of amusement and mockery for some, who deem the Thompsons “trashy” and unfit for television. Perhaps because they’re doing exactly what they signed up to do–document their lives, warts and all–some critics are turned off. But one artist has taken this commentary to the next level by creating a portrait of Alana using only trash which is inspired by the show: coupons, butter, Red Bull, tiaras, and dolls. The piece weighs over 25 pounds and has taken over the web in just a few short days, making the rounds on social networking sites.

    The mosaic was done by artist Jason Mecier.

  • “South Park” & Honey Boo Boo: Shows Collide

    “South Park” & Honey Boo Boo: Shows Collide

    “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have never been shy about lampooning figures in pop culture; in fact, it’s what makes the show so popular and part of what has kept it a hit for the past fifteen years.

    If you’ve ever seen what happens behind the scenes at the South Park studios, you know that the guys and their team of writers sit in a room and throw ideas around until one sticks, then expand upon it using a dry erase board until they get it right. The themes often sprout from what’s going on in the news, an experience one of them had, or a trending topic similar to what one can find on the Twitter sidebar. And no one has been more on trend lately than Honey Boo Boo.

    It was only a matter of time, really, before the guys grabbed hold of the Thompson family and did their thing. Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and her mother, sisters, father, and pet pig have taken the nation by storm over the past month or so after landing a reality show on TLC, garnering praise from some for being “real” and condemnation from others for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of by a network that is clearly making fun of them.

    The episode doesn’t air until tonight, but considering what we’ve seen of the Thompson family so far–farting, an obsession with cheese balls, Mt. Dew chugging, and a baby with two thumbs–Matt and Trey probably held nothing back with their portrayals. You can watch a small preview below.
