uhhhhh... yeah.

It's not the product; it's the ad campaign.

uhhhh... yeah as well.

...and this from the country that made Simon Cowell a top tastemaker.

shank, carmody I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you didn't rtfa.

...putting the nation's confused, beleaguered parents in the position of having to shell out thousands of dollars for scalped tickets

Having to?

I think not.

WTF?A Miley Cyrus is Hannah Montana? Okay, I'm in my late 20s, don't have kids, and the Hannah Montana thing isn't that big here - I wouldn't even know it existed if I didn't work part time in a CD store - but Hannah Montana 2 came with a bonus disc of songs by a girl called 'Miley Cyrus'. It sounded made-up, so I figured she was another character on the show (which is on a satellite-only channel here).

Weird.

"Go away were baitin" - America to the World

On January 25 a 16-year-old boy boarded a flight to Nashville concealing on his person a pair of handcuffs, a roll of duct tape and a length of rope. Had airport police been less vigilant, he might have got away with his plan to hijack and crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert. still wouldn't have been able to do a got-damn thing.

But shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

Add some Depends and he's ready for astronaut school.

Har.

There are worse things young girls could be listening to than Hannah Montana.

Rap, for instance...

In 1993, The Mickey Mouse Club - the network's immortal kid-aimed variety show - included, among its all-singing, all-dancing, all-quipping ensemble the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell and Ryan Gosling. That's a hefty allocation of potential future earnings and Disney managed to capitalise on exactly none of it. "We found these little pishers," the corporation may have collectively fumed. "We put those blinding white smiles on their faces, we taught them to sing in key and move with a modicum of rhythm. Next time we get our claws on some telegenic tweens, we're keeping them in-house and the millions we make off their sweat stays with us. Ahahahaha!" (Cue maniacal laugh from the direction of Walt's cryonic chamber).

I'd like to think Walt would be furious with the way his company is run right now. Probably even more angry than Sam Walton would be if he were alive right now.

zappaisfrank: Rap, for instance...

I think I would prefer my daughter to listen to mad gangsta death rap than that disney piss.

makes Simons Fuller and Cowell seem like chancers selling bruised apples from a leaky barrel.

Ha! Love that British 13th century imagery.

Dear Jerk: Ha! Love that British 13th century imagery.

And I can't help but hearing that sentence in the voice of Bender doing a bad English-accent.

Glasgow, you're right. I didn't.

Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Keri Russell and Ryan Gosling.

Had no clue someone who actually could act their way out of a paper bag got his start there.

Go figure.

If Disney put a big platter full of shiat in front of consumer whores, they would eat it up and ask for more.

it's called capitalizing on every little girl's wish to be a superstar!!

SUPERSTAR!!

Exactly. She had Disney behind her, and that's all it took. Let the Mouse's $$ do all the work. Just smile and wave.

You can't make great lemonade without lemons. You can't promote a product that doesn't exist.
In other words, You have to start with person with some talent, who is willing to do the hard work.
And if it was you or your kid who was told that all you had to do was follow directions
and you could be a billionaire by the age of 21, would you complain?
Or would you shut up, smile, and wave?

I go to Hannas concerts. But less for the music, and more for me being a 40 year old balding wierdo who lives in his mothers basement.



Dont arrest me its a joke.
