Yes, I'm Anti-Miley

Yesterday, I opened up my Safari - as usual - and looked through my MSN home page - also as usual. There was something different, this time, though - a little square picture of Miley Cyrus and a headline that asked "Is Miley Cyrus a Bad Role Model?" Naturally, I had to click. Immediately.

Why? Because I have NEVER liked Miley Cyrus, her awful show Hannah Montana, and anything remotely related to her. It's a shame, because I love Disney a lot, but now that Hannah Montana is beginning to represent the brand more and more, I'm starting to feel ashamed of my Disney pride. And most media about her, unless it's a scandal about her personal pictures or her lack of wearing seatbelts, are usually positive.

I'm going to save the article for you to read at your own pleasure, but I would like to add my two cents to this issue. I honestly do NOT understand anything about this Miley/Hannah craze. I knew about the show way before it actually aired on television, during the time it was yet to be green-lighted to the channel. I crossed my fingers that something this horrendous would never make it on television. Instead, it did make it on television - and much, muchhhh more than expected.

The description I had originally read basically discussed the premise of the show, which is a story about a girl from Tennessee who moves to California and is a regular, brown-haired, unpopular girl by day, and a blonde-haired, makeup-caked popstar by night. She goes by the name Miley Stewart in the day and Hannah Montana at night.

Honestly... THAT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD FOR A STORYLINE. So basically it's trying to say that being blonde DOES make you more a more popular person, and that it's okay to pretend to be someone you are not just for the fame and riches.

Does it not? Because it certainly seems that way to me.

On top of that, who names themselves "Hannah Montana?" I may be in college now, but I was a pre-teen once, and I loved the likes of Britney and Christina... but if there was a popstar out there named Hannah Montana, I would have laughed hysterically, thought it was a joke, and ignored her completely. Then I would have gone back to my Baby One More Time and Genie in a Bottle. Who wants to listen to a song called "Best of Both Worlds?" It doesn't even make sense - considering the audience doesn't even know that she is supposed to be someone else named Miley Stewart. Because if they knew, the storyline would be kaput.

Speaking of that... does Hannah Montana have her own statistics? Her own birthday, her own favorite foods, her own favorite place to hang? What exactly would her fansites say about her? Wouldn't they be wondering what she does in her spare time? All I know about her is that whenever she dons her blonde wig outside her concerts, they're usually at a Hollywood party. And usually, that's not a positive thing.

Yeah, yeah, I know this is just a story, and that she's just a character. Wait - not really. Miley is taking advantage of her success to become her own pop star. So yes, she is very real, and very irritable beyond belief.

Hannah Montana may not have a life outside the stage and parties, but Miley does have one, and it's a very annoying one. Let's see what we know about her: She drinks ketchup out of bottles - gross. She holds "sleepovers" with her friends practically every weekend it seems - some of which she engages in sharing Twizzlers mouth to mouth, as those famous leaked pictures depict. She claims she has a purity ring and is waiting until marriage - yet she seems to go against such morals by taking Myspace photos of herself in the bathroom pulling up her shirt, exposing her underwear, and making a kissy face to the camera. I'll leave that up to you for your own judgment. She dresses like a complete hooker at many events, such as the featured picture in this post... and she's not even pretty. That picture is one that could very well give me nightmares in my sleep. And she makes YouTube videos with her friends, which are supposed to showcase how down-to-earth and normal she is - blah blah blah. To me, she and her friend both seem like obnoxious brats.

Whether Miley ends up with the likes of Britney and Lindsay, who knows. All I know for now is that she and her alter-ego make me ashamed to be a Disney fan. And all I can hope is that she slowly disappears, and that in ten years people will laugh about how ridiculous this whole craze was. Seriously... letting kids skip school to watch her movie? Spending more than a thousand dollars to receive tickets to her concert? What is wrong with this world?
