MILEY

Why do these young, female pop stars think that that expressing themselves sexually is a valid way to traverse the child/woman threshold?

Wait...let me rephrase that. Why do the self-serving “handlers” of young, female pop stars continue to advise them to express themselves sexually as a valid pathway to a grown-up career?

No. That’s not what I’m trying to ask. Why do those of us who consume entertainment featuring young, female pop stars, buy their product when it becomes overtly sexual in nature?

Or this...why is it so easy to get bored with young, female pop stars after a few months?

Or…why is it we're so temporally enamored of young, pretty people singing and dancing?

Every answer I come up with to these questions makes me despair. Our pursuit of stardom and fame, our idolizing of such people...it is so obviously, objectively wrong.

  1. When were we ever not enamored of young, pretty people singing and dancing? I applaud the entertainment industry for raising public awareness of the fact that Miley Cyrus is totally hot.

  2. I was trying to push for her humanity, Tim. She's not a "product," she is a person.
