When I watched TLC more than a decade ago, they had shows on history, science etc. It was truly a learning channel. Looks like it has been vitiated.

If you type in the phrase, "A dolla makes me holla," you would think that a picture of a little girl wouldn't pop up. We were sadly mistaken and very, very wrong.

In the Urban Dictionary, "A dolla makes me holla," is a way of saying you're in need of money - just not in a good way. Should you be a pimp, prostitute, or something of the sort, than this phrase would be of appropriate use. Not for a little chubby-cheeked girl yelling, "A dolla makes me holla Honey Boo Boo!"

What has the world gone to?

TLC is part of the problem.

A few decades ago the channel was launched as a means to educate the world. At one point or another, I recall this channel used to stand for "The Learning Channel." I remember being a teen and actually loving their channel. I remember that when TLC really started embracing reality television, they began with "A Wedding Story," "A Baby Story," and so forth. Even The Duggars had been tolerable to watch (I started watching their show when they had fourteen kids). "What Not to Wear" used to be great, until the audience became involved and the participants became loopier and loopier.

Now, TLC is delighted to present us with a whole new foray of junk.

Thanks, TLC - now us viewers that are already paying too much for cable, can be subjected to the continuous use of child pornograpy, exploitation, and prostitution ("Toddlers and Tiaras"), redneck galore ("Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"), and you're new chance to cash in on teens being pregnant like MTV has been doing, "My Teen is Pregnant and So Am I."
