Why couldn't they have just stuck to Extreme Couponing?

Sometimes news show personality/former governor/minister and fellow Arkansan Mike Huckabee says nothing is served by dragging a good families name through the mud. This is a man who also said Beyonce is too sexual for teenagers. Sexy singer bad, sexy-time with kids is forgivable. Below is the post, I put it in spoilers because it does get religious, but I didn't want to quote the man out of context. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} ... |

And the sad thing is, it probably cost more to advertise on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or 19 Kids and Counting than it does for wrestling. Yeah, but wrestling is low rent programming aimed at white trash.... |

Yeah, this is sort of being handled like the Lena Dunham case, where people are making it into a right/left split. What this guy did as a kid was horrible. Absolutely horrible. I never watch TLC, but I feel they are 100% in the right for suspending the show, hopefully cancelling it down the road.

Counselings ass. It's been so long since he started that I doubt it means dick by this point. My aunt promised to get my cousin counseling after he abused my sister and I. Know where that got him? In jail again for abusing another child under 6 my senior year in high school then in jail again for having a computer full of kiddy porn. There comes a point where there's no turning back.

The only thing I liked about the Duggars was the thought that Michelle Duggar's kids all came out like this:  |

This is why you shouldn't give idiots like this TV shows. Goes both ways. They wouldn't have shows if people, a lot of people, didn't watch. The American viewer has enabled this sort of thing. |

This "reality" tv crap is still able to pretend it's just showing good ol' American families trying to live the dream in their own unique ways. A large group of people fail to believe it's more staged then half the network sitcoms. |

There is no way to defend what happened here. And the excuses people made for Dunham and are making for the Duggars disgusts me. |

Wrestling is at least about something, and you can appreciate the athleticism.
Shows like the Duggars, the Kardashians, Honey Boo Boo etc...are just voyeuristic bollocks, about nothing.

I am never surprised when Mama June says something that sounds intelligent. To me, she usually sounds pretty smart and savvy when she is being interviewed. That doesn't mean she always makes great life choices for herself or her family. It just means she comes across much smarter than most people would expect.

I think most people who go into the reality TV business, like the Mama Junes and the Jim Bob Duggars and the Kris Jenners, are generally pretty savvy businessmen and women, if completely morally bankrupt. Unfortunately, as we've learned from the Josh Duggars and the Kylie Jenners, smart and morally bankrupt is just as bad, if not worse, that simply dumb and exploitable. Especially when children are involved. |

Just a guess, but based on the absence of any words or embedded video behind your spoiler tag, the mods must've deleted or hid whatever it was you tied to share, ammiright? |

A friend of mine who is extremely religious and is a huge fan of any Christian show, movie, music piece or main stream Christian pop culture personality, lept into action on Facebook defending the Duggars and the show. I pointed out the Lena Dunham deal and how my friend was on the inside of those wanting boycotts etc. Apparently turn about is not fair play. My assertion was met with rancor and I think she un friended me on Facebook. Point is, we font get to split hairs on something like this. No cherry picking. If you wanted Joe Paterno and Lena Funham to go down in flames than this guys gets the same treatment IMO.

When I open the spoiler tag, it's Mike Huckabee on Facebook, with some absurd defence of this Duggar guy.

Of all the things that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar did or didn't do the one thing that blows my mind is them allowing Josh to still be around their children. Josh should not be allowed near those kids until they are 18 and they are allowed to make their own decisions.
The Learning Channel has gone downhill although I have enjoyed watching The Willis Family.
