Nope. She's just brainwashing them. I do not want my brain washed. it's dry clean only.

can understand that. <Maybe I should explain myself further. I think my problem with those specific things is that they are everywhere. No matter where you are or what you are doing there's Hannah Montana or HSM or heck back in the day Pokemon. Trends bug the wiz out of me. It just gets annoying. Sure I jumped on the TMNT and even the MMPR band wagons, but that was kinda after the fact. I've never jumped on trends when they are big. maybe next week I'll like Hannah Montana, but not right now. Then again I'm not the demographic. I guess for lil' girls there are worse role models or entertainment than HM and HSM.
I never hate something because its popular. Popularity makes no difference to me. I just like what I like and hate what I hate. I think her show (as well as everything on Disney) is just horribly put together, and makes the Home Alone movies look like the Marx Brothers "Night at the Opera." Cheap pratfalls and overacting do not a show make.

Not only that, but she's killing in the ratings, causing the greedy 20something network execs to make the exact same ilk of terrible tweenage programming. And since none of that is animated, us animators are no longer in demand. I can't even get my foot in the door of a production company as an intern if I wanted to.

But I really really want to see a huge falling out when her parents take all the money. Just like the kid on Home Imporvement. We have nothing to worry about. In 30 years, she'll be a pudgey middle aged hasbeen, singing crappy songs in Las Vegas with a smoking addiction distorted voice.

Of course, I was wrong about the Spice Girls doing the same thing.
