Extreme couponing.
The idea is that you wait until item X is on sale then buy a ton of it, like paper towels, dish soap, etc. So instead of buying dish soap once a month at $2.99 each, you buy 36 bottles once every three years at $.50 each.
I suppose it makes sense if you've got the space to store all of that crap.
So her fat mom makes her dress up, lose weight and attend to beauty contests...
This feels so strange to me, who lives in Europe. That girls life is gonna be destroyed, no expection.
I don't understand this. Is his mom making her win beauty contests, because she is herself really fat and did not win anything when she was a child? Sick...
That woman should have her child taken from her, she's obviously unable to take care of one and is using her like a doll to fulfill her fairytale dreams.
Mom's living her dreams through her child. The kid is just having fun, and it being conditioned to see that having fun means acting like a beauty pageant contestant. In other words it's entirely possible she's going to grow up to be a bitter person.

I couldn't even make it to 1:30. This sort of thing disgusts me to no end. That poor little girl is going to grow up thinking shes the dogs bollocks because she was a "beauty queen" and theres no one around to disabuse her of that notion. This really doesn't say much for the standards of parenting that goes on now a days. Im not gonna even comment on the mum. Yeesh.........

Sad. I find all these pageants creepy. I've seen these sorts of programmes before. It's quite obvious that the mother hasn't got much out of life and now lives vicariously through her child, like many pushy parents.
So often they people who love dressing their kids up like these are from the most backward bible thumping areas, on the surface is seems a strange dichotomy that some conservatives sexualise kids on one hand while bashing on about purity rings and abstinence on the other. But it makes sense when you realise that it all comes down to control, girls can be sexual objects, but only on their terms and on their say-so.
Dressing kids like dolls is just part of the sexual politics behind this. It's just horrible and god knows what it does to the child's perspective of the world, they usually come across as fairly ordinary little girls thinking they are the centre of the universe.
As for the coupons and masses of toilet rolls, well that makes good sense if you are buying long term and have the space. Often supermarkets will limit the number of sale items that any customer can have to stop one person bulk buying stuff like they are stocking for a nuclear winter.
Yeah, sorry. I personally often find them appropriate, but they can easily get excessive if used in large numbers, and even a single one used in place of one's own thoughts often becomes a lazy substitute for real discussion.
There's also often a nasty compound effect where one or two "funny" images turn into a cascade of them from multiple posters which turn a good thread into crap.

Actually, the "true" extreme couponing involves getting so many coupons and using them all in such a way that makes the store give you money for shopping, although the TV shows document folks doing this, there aren't stores in my neck of the woods that prescribe to that type of transaction.
It got too creepy for me when she was doing the cowgirl stuff and I tapped out then. Mostly because I didn't want anyone to walk in and catch me watching it...
...Which would be an awkward moment, to say the least.
SIDEBAR: I find it very interesting that some of the posters articulating their distaste at the shallowness on display in the clip are doing so via means of making disparaging comments on the mother's weight. Very interesting indeed.
So the psychotic daughter is addicted to caffeine and sugar and is barely literate and the mother is actually PUSHING HER to be like this to live out her own dreams of fantasy?

I have no problem with shallowness. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm a shallow person. However, what's wrong with that pageant doesn't have to do with the shallowness of the event, but just how fethed up it is.
Isn't it already?
It says "Tiaras and toddlers" in the title.
I was referring to the person who said "That woman should have her child taken from her"
In other words, a reality TV show about child services that go to houses of bad parents. It would probably one of those "fake" reality TV shows like Operation Repo.
Sorry for the confusion.
I think they have one of those shows for animals on animal planet.

Agree on all points. And the mother is fat, it's just that this particular fact is not what makes her such a grotesque individual. She's a bad person and a terrible parent, but that's not because of her weight. One can be a good person and be overweight, so it seems odd that certain posters would attack this weirdo for her size when she possesses a wealth of much worse character traits.
It's almost as if, because she is so vile, it's open season on the insults. It recalls the paedophile thread a while back - paedophiles are scum, so people feel justified in saying that they deserve to be raped and tortured. Rape and torture are wrong, it doesn't matter who they happen to - not even just because they are terrible crimes to inflict upon a human being, but also because of how it reflects upon those people who think that there are circumstances under which those crimes are acceptable. It's ugly, man. I think the same is true of mocking people for their weight. It displays a lack of poise and class, no matter how deserving one thinks the target is.
Let's have it right, calling people names based on their physical appearance is childish.
Did someone gain a few pounds over the Holidays and is sensitive?
lol
The fact that she is so horribly disgusting inside makes the outside all the more hideous. Although I would dare to say that there's a correlation between the two in her case. She has everything "in bulk".
When I call her fat I mean fat. Not 10 or 20 pounds over weight, but probably 100 or more. That woman is fat and will die before she should.
As a result of living an unhealthy lifestyle, her kid is more likely to engage in the same habits she does (that kid is already getting chunky) and will probably have health and especially body image issues as she ages.
I have a few things to say. I made it to the end despite my brain crawling away.
1: When she won the dad had this look "The *BEEP* i put up with" or "My poor little girl*
2: DAISY DUKE!!!!! the hot cousin from the "Dukes of hazzard"
as a costume for your 6 yr old? Someone needs a good old fashion brain wash.
3: You know that foggy stuff in mountain dew? Its a type of vegetable oil, that has been known to cause puberty earlier.
So that mother is quite literally messing with her child biology from this

Well it is a bit inappropriate seeing as we're talking about a 5 year old or whatever she is. It may be creepy and weird, but it's a pageant she's not being prostituted so I think comments about a small childs sexual mores is quite a stretch.
The little girl likely will grown up with a massive sense of entitlement though, thinking she is perfect and has the awards to show it. Is anyone else bothered by the way the girl takes pride in her weight? I'm not going to get my hate-on about the size of the mother as some have, but it's nothing to be proud of and the girl shouldn't see an unhealthy amount of weight as a positive thing.

I feel like you are being deliberatly obtuse or your grasp on this period of history is very loose. It's not the a bunch of Americans signed the Declaration of Independance, e-mailed it to George III, and he phoned up his troops and told them to come on home.
There was a war, that war ended 3 SEP 1783.

No offense to anyone who has said disease I am about to reference to. Anyone in the US remember those diabetes commercials, I think we found our new spokeswoman
"My name is honey boo boo child. I'm 6 years old and I have diabetes."
This is a terrible thing to be a tv show in all honestly though. Did anyone else hear the camera crew laughing when she was playing with her belly? "Those judges don't know a good thang when they see'd it."
@ all above quoting me. Yes I was being obtuse; yes I do have a sketchy grasp of the U.S. war of independence and history in general; French officers do wear brown trousers; and I was at the end of a REALLY crappy day at work with my sarcasm on 11.
If I caused offense the I apologise most sicerely.
Oh and just so people know the french Military does "kick ass" these days. I would now rate it as more powerful than the British armed forces as they have things like planes for thier aircraft carriers (thank you so much Mr. Cameron)

Hence jokes about Italian tanks having six gears - one forward and five in reverse. Or "What's the World's shortest book? - The book of Italian War Heroes".

Never heard those, I've heard Italians support whoever is winning but normally the French are portrayed as cowardly.

The Italians are quick to run away, the French are quicker to surrender... at least that's what my culturally ingrained stereotypes tell me. I'm sure they're very professional lads in reality...

The French are fething useless. I went on exercise in Cadiz with US, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch soldiers. The French were disgusting and never ever washed, the Spanish and the Italians were all chain smokers and the Dutch were playing volleyball and sitting in deck chairs all week. The only French soldier who wasn't a clueless gakker was an Australian in the foreign legion who came over and asked why we were the only ones who appeared do any exercise and not have blazing bonfires roaring on an evening. He wanted to know what regiment we were from because he was impressed at our prowess. Each country also did a CQB demonstration, and ours was the only one that drew rapturous applause from everyone watching.
It was only an exercise (and a gak one at that) but when other nations are watching we always tried extra hard to do everything perfectly and aggressively. The fact that only the British and the Americans didn't seem to be lacking in any personal pride speaks volumes in my mind. Pride is a fighting man's whip, If you dont give a feth that foreign troops think of you, then you dont give a feth full stop.
Although, we were the only actual combat veterans there, I'm sure the Italian spec ops guys aren't as bad as the chain smoking Italian mess-tin repair unit that I had the misfortune to meet.
But seriously, I never met an Italian that didn't smoke.. feth knows why.
I would never disparage our troops but our leaders seem intent on cutting off our military genitalia. It's a shame we don't have the old Lord Mountbatten. He would of slapped them around until they got it right.
I have always found it strange that the French Foreign Legion is their elite fighting force.

If it makes you feel any better I'm rarely offended on Dakka, and defiantly not by anything you said on this thread. People should tale pride in thier nation and go out of thier way to make all others look inferior. Patriotism is a good thing. I also don't expect Brits to have a firm grasp on our war for Independance, it's part of our nations creation semi-myth; but at least the war prepared Britain for later exercises abroad which laid the foundations for the Pax Britannica.
To my knowledge French officers have never actually worn brown pants, although making broad statements from the Napoleonic Grande Arme to present is bound to mean someone somewhere did. The Republican Guard is the only French unit I know of that has a real dress uniform as we would recognize it, and their officer wear blue. It's still a good joke, but in context it would have been far more likely for the Brits to gak their pants at the approach of the indomitable French army. Luckily for you the King found the right Mick for the job.
The current French are frigging useless donkey caves.
