Heh. no wonder why she's gonna be rich. She's her own scalper. I can't call her or Disney stupid for this. it's an evil brilliance.

And I'm gonna have to sympathise with Buslady. There are people who have to work thankless jobs for little pay to barely afford to live, while some talentless robot lipsyncs to music she didn't even write, and makes a fortune because rich soccermoms don't want to upset their greedy, spoiled kids.

I can agree Miley is a better role model than half the others out there who are outright sluts and telling kids to dress up like prostitutes at age 5 (like the Bratz). But she still brings up 2 things I cannot stand to see. Thing number one, the whole ultra greed craze where everyone has to have the best of everything, and max out their credit cards to get it. Thing number 2, this whole idea that kids have to grow up sooner than they need to. Cartoons are too childish now? Yeah, I know that we've gotten to the point where half the kids shows suck, but come on. If actual cartoons are too childish, how can a bunch of live actors fumbling and bumbling about worse than a cartoon is all the more mature? And the worst part is the network execs who think likewise.
