Cookie monster
by digby
Impish reality star Honey Boo Boo is warring with the Girl Scouts of America after cutting in on their cookie racket. Ms. Boo Boo recently sold thousands of boxes of Thin Mints and Savannah Smiles through her Facebook page, and now the Scouts are crying foul, objecting that online sales by a celebrity with zillions of fans sort of ruins the important life lessons this first dip into capitalism is supposed to teach the girls.
I’m fairly sure that Honey Boo Boo’s well beyond her first dip into capitalism by now. Perhaps they should thank her for the large donation to their cause (which mostly goes to the local council and girl scout troop she belongs to.) It’s not as if she gets to keep the money for herself. In fact, if she wanted to, she could probably sell her own cookies and make a fortune.
