I hate everyone richer than me.

But then again, I hate everyone poorer than me, too. Because they're losers.

BTW - I haven't heard of Miley Cirus up till today.

And now we know how to track you down, pal.

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.

You're right about you've said before, man. There's a TREND of pointless hating towards something on these boards.

Because nobody wants to watch a show about a bus driver.

You're really obsessed with the bus driving. You know you're just a glorified taxi driver, right?

Yeah, The Honeymooners are too vintage. Then again, living in this era of remakes, why not?

well when you own and run your own bus operation, it tends to become an integral part of one's life.

And there's more to it than being a glorified taxi driver; we actually go thru training, they dont.

i never said anything about a show about a bus driver...im saying, I have lives in my hands, why arent I getting paid alot more than what i get now? it's not that easy of a job.

I'll just say this:

Miley Cyrus. First time I even heard of her was about a year ago when she appeared and "sang" on GMA. I didn't like the noise that she calls music. That's why I don't like her....I don't like her music. Simple as that. I have NEVER seen one ep of Hannah Montana. I've seen clips on tv of the music on that show but that's it.

I don't understand why the little girls love her so danged much. Willing to fork over $1000 or more for a 1 hour concert. It's just fraking nutty.

As for High School Musical... I've never seen any of the High School musical things...I've only seen some music vids and heard em sing on GMA and Regis and Kelly. So I really don't have an opinion on it.

I mean don't get me wrong. I love musicals. Grease (the ORIGINAL High School Musical), West Side Story, Sound of Music, The King and I....those are classics. I watch em whenever they're on tv.

Im just not into the teeny bopper stuff. These are all simply fads that'll die off in a couple years. Next thing ya know Miley Cyrus (I like her dad's music BTW) will be dating Robin Thicke (another so called singer who can't sing a danged note... gah he's HORRIBLE)...and we'll just focus on that and forget about her little Disney channel show.

And then there's the Jonas Brothers... I don't like them. They remind me too much of Hansen. I HATE their version of "Wanna Be Like You"....they ruined one of my fave Jungle Book songs. So Poo on them!

I can kinda see where BL is coming from only in this regard. There are people out there who provide vital and often difficult and time consuming services and get paid jack while people who act, sing, or play a sport for a living make more in a week then they'll make in their lifetimes. I'm more thinking about teachers, who educate these people, but get paid peanuts. Oh, well. I personally don't care for Miley because she's every where, that's my beef, the over-exposer of Hannah Montana.

...but...it's cool...

I honestly don't care for her. She could be the most intellectual being on the face of this planet and I still wouldn't really care for her. Just another Lizze Maguire kind of a person...kind of like a carbon copy. So what? It's not like anyone's lives are at risk. Mostly. But that's beside the point.

I don't know why she's hated so much...maybe it's to do with the money she's making. Maybe it's do to with "being a bad role model to young women", as my mum put it when she saw a preview of her show. Maybe it's all that and the fact that there is a growing number of people that are starting to hate what they see on television. Who's to know? All I know is that I'm not directly affected by her, so I don't really give a rat's.

A bad role model??? How? Miley's done nothing that would make her seem like a bad role model. She's just a bad singer with her own show thanks to her daddy.

And BTW Hannah Montana is #1 in the box office! There can't be that many little girls who went to the theatre this weekend?! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080203/...o/box_office_3

You sound like one of those people who just hit that point between 30 and 40 where they feel like nothing around today is as good the stuff when you were a kid. Congratulations! You just reached the end of your fun years on Earth. Now all you need is an IRA account and a cat and you're set to join the ranks of old people.
