Either it's meaningful or it's meaningless. If it is meaningful, then it establishes a relationship between Cooper and something else.

Whoever took the photograph may have wanted Honey Boo Boo in the shot. Perhaps it's a marketing stunt and Cooper is in on it. That would have been a huge scandal 30 years ago, but so many people in the media today are sellouts that people would shrug at it.

Honey Boo Boo is a spinoff of Toddlers and Tiaras that ran on The Learning Channel. TLC is owned by Discovery Communications, owners of the Discovery Channel. I have not found a relatinoship between Gannett and Discovery. The show was cancelled abruptly when Mama June had a relationship with a convicted sex offender. That is salacious but it doesn't mean anything about Cooper.

I noticed two things in one of the links you provided. Now I'm not sure if this was just bad writing or if this article was trying to say something without actually saying it. I'm sure it's the former, or at least I hope so, for all our sakes.

TLC confirms to ET that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has come to an end after a report claimed June "Mama June" Shannon was in a relationship with a convicted sex offender.

On Thursday, TMZ alleged that Mama June is romantically involved with a man who was recently released from prison and is a registered sex offender in the state of Georgia. The website also claimed the man was convicted of molesting one of Shannon's own relatives, who was 8 years old at the time of the crime.

Following news that the family's reality show would be canceled, Mama June released a video on Facebook to the show's fans.

The dimly lit footage, looking to have been shot by Mama June herself, has the reality star mom reiterating her comment from Thursday. "I have not seen that person in 10 years, and do not seem to want to see that person," she says. She also adds that her daughter Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon has also vouched for her that she is not dating the man.

Notice her distancing language in these excerpts, instead of definitely declaring that she wants nothing to do with the sex offender, she says she 'does not seem to want to' see 'that person'. Lots of weasel words packed into a tiny space, if you ask me.

And then this faintly horrifying Freudian slip from the same article, farther down the page:

Appearing to be reading a written statement at times, Mama June adds, "We just want to thank from the bottom of our hearts the support that we've had from our fans since May 2012. ...The experience has been awesome to us. The girls have been able to do things that they would not normally have had to do."

Uh-huh. I don't want to know the things they wouldn't normally have had to do. Those poor kids.
