Except I don't have a kid named Honey Boo-Boo. And it's almost impossible to go online and say, "No, I didn't authorize this account. Please delete it."
I was getting these as well about a year ago to an unused email account. I originally thought it was legitimate, as there was a place for me to unsubscribe, however, I wonder if it wasn't a phishing expedition trying to get a parent to sign up with some personal information. After a few months it stopped.
