"All My Babies' Mamas," a one-hour reality special slated to air in the spring of 2013, features Carlos "Shawty Lo" Walker, an Atlanta-based hip-hop artist with 11 children by 10 different women. Oh, he's also got a 19-year-old girlfriend, who's a year shy of his oldest child.
Why in the world would anyone glorify that by making show from it.
Because society is full of sick freaks looking for sicker, freakier people than they are so they can feel better about themselves.
because unfortunately it will be watched, by some as a "how in the heck..." like Hoarders, and by some as a "how to"
Hoarders is about a problem that is sad and hard to fix. This show is about a problem that is VERY easy to fix.
That made me laugh but hoarding is actually not that hard to fix either. I have some experience living with hoarders and even had tendencies myself before I worked to change. I only made it through 5 minutes of that show and had to turn it off because I just wanted to smack people.
We need to return to a time when this type of crap is reviled and considered trash or low class...and is shameful.
Everyone has their entertainment, but sure wouldn't mind including the removal of all the right wingnut redneck shows like "Duck Dynasty", "Doomsday Idiots", "Honey Boo Boo", "Buck Wild" etc mindless paranoia garbage infiltrating channels that used to be more science and historical.
And I would take Duck Dynasty over that Any. Day. Of. The. Week.
Brother we're pretty close on this issue.
These type of things are just getting outside if the comfort zone though... Do we really need "entertainment" like this? Is this really entertainment to people or is it really just voyeurism to a train wreck?
We need more shows like The Waltons, Cosmos, Andy Griffith, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.
Would love to see the poll numbers on the double-wide trailer gun huggin' geniuses and who they voted for.
South as usual voted R but lost big. Regardless, my point stands as the stupid redneck shows are trash and no better for society. Skip.
Most of reality TV is trash &/or staged.
Occupations of the Bayou, WT beauty pageant entrants, truckers on ice, Amish runaways... These are all shows about people with very different lives than our or even than the norm. These are people who work, own homes, take care of their families and like it or not contribute something to society.
A young kid isn't going to see Honey Boo Boo and think "ohh that's cool I want to be like them" the entertainment ( used loosely as I hate that show) isn't from a deterioration of family or suckling the government's teat- it's from a Walmart life style.
They DO have pretty decent kids albeit rough around the edges.
I think the "Housewives" of anywhere shows are more comparable to this Baby Mama show. Encouraging the über drama, fighting, living off some poor guys over paid alimony and sleeping around.
I think pop culture has made being a "ho" or a knocked up chick of a popular guy a sought after title.
I don't label any of them politically, I think most of these people are too dumb to vote. Showing a guy with that many seeds spread and no commitment to those women and potentially painting him in a positive light while at least half if not all those babies usurp government resources is a how to show on how to be a scum bag.
And what about Wrenchtwister injecting politics into it?
