Quick: think of the two people in the world whom you would most want to see make a sex tape. Thinking ... thinking ... Beyonce and Jay Z? Oh, wait, I know, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello. No, no, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo? Forget them all -- the two people you really want to see make a porno are Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's Mama June and Sugar Bear. Admit it. Even if you're furiously shaking your head right now (or not, I'm not going to judge), the reality is that one big porn honcho is betting a Mama June/Sugar Bear sex tape will make a killing, and he's offering the on-off couple big bucks to make it happen.
Steve Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment, the company behind Kim Kardashian's sex tape, recently wrote Mama June a letter in which he proposed giving the couple $1 million or more to star in a film that would be marketed for lovers of "BBW," which stands for big, beautiful women.
Not only did Hirsch promise June and Sugar Bear an "enjoyable" experience, but he also writes that she can have as much creative input as she'd like.
So there are two ways of looking at this offer. The first: the family has already been dragged through the mud with rumors about Mama's relationship with an accused sex offender and allegations that the man may have molested June's own daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell. What's the big deal if they are plagued by yet another scandal?

On the other hand -- and more importantly -- their children have been through enough embarrassment and crazy. The last thing they need is to find out their parents are all over the Internet having sex. One million dollars isn't nearly enough money to agree to this deal -- and I don't think there is an amount that would make it worthwhile. These two need to lay low for the next few months (decades?) and work on their personal lives.
Do you think Mama June and Sugar Bear will make a sex tape? Should they?
