Scratch-N-Sniff Honey Boo Boo

Look, Francine, Tab for our diet! Via Phoenix New Times:

Anyone who picks up the July 15th issue of People (available at newsstands, corner drugstores, and supermarket checkout aisles starting on Friday) or the July 22nd issue of US Weekly (available July 12) can nab one of 10 million of the scented and scratchable cards that can be used when watching both the season premiere and the second episode. Specific numbers will appear on screen at various points throughout either episode corresponding with six scents on each card that viewers are encouraged to rub off and then inhale. (Honey Boo Boo fans can also match up the smells via this website for a chance to win $5,000.) And according to Mama June herself, not every one will be pleasant. "Take a big whiff and see what you smell," she says in an online promo video for the stunt. "Some don't smell too good."

Honey Boo Boo's Uncle Poodle Sent His Boyfriend To Prison For Giving Him HIV

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo cast member Lee Thompson, who is known on the show as Uncle Poodle and who gained praise last year for being out on the program, has revealed that he had his former boyfriend charged with HIV transmission after learning that he himself was HIV-positive last year.

I was adamant about getting my HIV status checked on a regular basis. On March 16, 2012, I tested negative. Then, in May of 2012 my test results came back positive. I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me. I later learned he had been HIV positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do. He is serving a 5-year sentence. I would have been cool with his HIV status if he had been honest. I don’t have an issue with the disease. I would have known how to protect myself.

In the above-linked article Thompson goes on to denounce barebackers as "damn fools" but makes no revelation as to how he was infected.

RELATED: The decriminalization of HIV transmission has long been a goal of many HIV/AIDS activists.  Last year the Global Commission on HIV & The Law issued a United Nations-sponsored report that called for exactly that.  Also last summer Todd Heywood reported that HIV criminalization laws cause some men to never get tested at all.
