Adam Levine: “Honey Boo Boo Is the Decay of Western Civilization”
In the December issue of GQ, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine profanely bashes TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. The reality series — beloved by stars like Rosie O’Donnell, Miley Cyrus, Anderson Cooper and Tina Fey – was a surprise hit for the network, averaging 2.3 million viewers per episode.
“Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn’t mean it’s good,” snipes Levine, who mentors aspiring singers on NBC’s The Voice. “So many people witness atrocities and can’t take their eyes away from them, but that doesn’t mean they’re good. That show is literally The. Worst. Thing. That’s. Ever. Happened.
NEW YORK (6NoBacon) – Are Israel’s recent publicity problems finally over? Or did they just get worse?
In the wake of the vote granting the Palestinians upgraded status at the United Nations, and just days after “Sesame Street” actress Sonia Manzano calledIsraelis “bullies,” Honey Boo Boo of TLC reality show fame offered a respite.
Adi Segal, an Israeli fan of the “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star, sent her a letter from a bomb shelter during the recent Gaza conflict.
“We watch your show every time we feel terrorized and threatened and you light up our faces,” wrote Segal, a college student. “We watch it in our bomb shelters and panic room, and rejoice in the happiness and joy you spread. When you are playing redneck games, eating sketti or dumpster diving, we feel like we are dumpster diving along your side and forget the sad reality that is outside. Your family is a shining beautimous beacon of hope for the Middle East.”
In response, the toddler in tiara took a photo of herself with the letter and an inflatable hammer emblazoned with the Israeli flag and posted it on her Facebook page. Is this the next step in Israeli hasbarah? Is it connected to the recent firing of the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon?
Maybe next year we’ll be able to watch “Land of Milk and Honey Boo Boo.”
