DtG,
My "this piece of shit needs to be oppressed for at least another thousand {years}" remark was a bit of hyperbole in response to to something Richard Bridge wrote and it's not something that I advocate. I don't care wether or not people watch and enjoy this, that's their business. What I object to is the Trojan Horse tactic that MTV used in marketing this raunch to 14 year olds who were Hannah Montana fans. Parents are ultimately responsible but in this case many felt they were the victims of a sneak attack and they probably were. When my daugther was a teen her musical heroes included Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell and later Patti Smith and she became a good amateur singer.
I look at this Miley Cyrus thing and some of the other garbage on MTV and wonder how many 14 year old girls think it would be way cool to be a 'ho in some rappers' (white or black) posse.
(My god, have I become my parents?)
