Hannah Montana is destroying our children
The three million people who bought the most recent Hannah Montana CD and the 12,000 people who went to the Hannah Montana concert at Save Mart Center probably won't agree with this. They'd probably say that Hannah Montana and real-life alter ego Miley Cyrus are wonderful influences on our children.
No. The facts are clear now. Hannah Montana is destroying our children, much like video games, MySpace and the MTV.
Exhibit 1: Hannah Montana ticket winner loses prize
A 6-year-old and her mother conspired to write a false essay stating the little girl's father was a solider who died in Iraq, all in order to win tickets to a Hannah Montana concert.
Exhibit 2: Kids blamed in Christmas Eve theft
A 5-year-old and a 9-year-old in New Jersey used a gift card to break into a neighbor's house to steal $200 worth of Christmas presents. Among them: Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers CDs.
Exhibit 3: "It definitely wasn't Hannah Montana."
Reports are emerging from as far as Florida and as close as Sacramento about a mislabeled "Disney Channel Hits" CD that surprised many a family this Christmas season. The CD appears to be full of Disney favorites -- you know, like Hannah Montana -- but the music on the disc is actually from New York rappers The Diplomats.
If these were isolated incidents, maybe what's really going on wouldn't be so visible. But together, it's rather obvious. These Hannah Montana TV shows and CDs are brainwashing our kids to lie, cheat, steal and listen to hip-hop.
Something in my achy, breaky heart tells me that Billy Ray Cyrus is to blame.
Comments:
I don't think it's only Hannah Montana. I think it's teenie bob music in general.
This is a great post Mike.

When my 7 year old comes to me and asks me if her butt looks big, it's time for Hannah Montana to take a flying leap ( something she saw on the show). I'm so finished with that. Not only is her music crap, she's instilling self loathing into my not even tween.
Yup, little knock off Cyrus is banned from our home.
I'll make my kid a mix of Floyd on her MP3, but no teeny bop junk. If she's going to get into music, I'm starting her on the classics.

C1, now you are a good parent for getting her hooked on Floyd. My mom did that with me with Van Halen and Led Zepplin. If I ever have kids I'm gonna play them Social D while they are in the womb. Screw this teeny bopper crap.

'New Jersey Pre-Teen uses card to break into house and steal items including Hannah Montana whatzis...'
-Personally?
being raised in New Jersey?
I think it's great that the kid is showing initiative, obviously is aware of mechanical things, and would rather be out 'doing,' than just sitting on their padunkus drinking fizzy drinks and playing video games...
The 'theft' part?,
-okay, we need to make a few adjustments...
