Miley Cyrus is a Bitch

Disney = Wholesome. For the most part, who would disagree?

I mean yes, the acting is disgustingly over the top terrible. Not just over the top, but over the top terrible. And disgustingly so. However, over the top was what kids respond to. Kids need to be overstimulated in order to elicit a response from them. But, no matter the quality of acting, they seem to get across these mini-lessons about being socially responsible. So overall, kids shows are wholesome.

The kids themselves though. The actors. The terrible terrible actors. Apparently they use that bad acting to thinly veil their naughtiness and idiocy behind the camera. Or in Miley Cyrus' case, in front of a camera, too. I guess the earlier you start off as an actor in front of the camera, the sooner you shit over your career behind it. Except, nothing seems to touch Miley Cyrus. She can pose half nude with her dad and she's still allowed to globally influence children. She can have an exposed underage teenage boob and her career is still going strong. She can offend 4 BILLION people, 60% OF THE WORLD, and she can still renew her show's contract, sell out concerts, and make a mean buck off of merchandising. WTF

I'm sure you've already heard about her CHINK pic scandal back in February of this year. Time heals most wounds. This one, I'm still steaming about. I still hate that she exists. If you don't know yet, Miley Cyrus took a picture with a bunch of her male friends. No, that's not the scandalous part. All of the non-Asian people in the picture, including the superstar, are all either squinting or pulling their eyes back. The lone Asian in the group (probably safe to say that he's the token) is straining to open his eyes wider than is natural for him. The ignorance. SMH

Then a LOOOOONG time passed with many people in an uproar before she attempted at an apology on her blog on her fansite that people have to PAY $30/month for to access. She said:

I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! [So now 4 billion people have goofy faces. Look at your teeth.] Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context! [Those people? What do you mean THOSE people?! I don't think there was a context where that could have been right.] In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity! [Then what were you doing?] I was simply making a goofy face. [You were simply being a bitch.] When did that become newsworthy? [When you became a role model to young kids that don't know any better than to condemn you.] It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing to me. [It's all your own doing. 4 billion people were offended.] If that would of [sic] been anyone else, it would of been overlooked! [No it wouldn't have.] I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'BAD GIRL'! [No. You're just a stupid bitch.] I feel like now that Britney is back on top of her game again, they need someone to pick on! [This has nothing to do with Britney. Again, all your own doing.] Lucky me! haha [This is funny to you?] Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know what is on my heart. [Which would be no remorse, it seems] You guys know me and have been by my side every step of the way! [And now people should be extremely disappointed.] You guys know my heart and know the most important things to me are my friends, family, fans, and GOD! [They have nothing to do with this other than not stopping you from being a dumbass.] In NO WAY do I want to disappoint any of you! [But it happened nonetheless, didn't it?] But, when I have made mistakes in the past, I feel like I've owned up to them and apologized. [So why aren't you doing that now?] I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! [You're in the limelight. You have no personal life. You made a movie about that.] Music and Acting! [You're not very good doing either and I don't know why you are this big.] Hopefully, I will be touring again this fall! [You will. You are untouchable. Untouchable bitch.] Yayy! =] [Yes. Smiley face. Dismiss the matter at hand.] It will be a nice change to be back out on the road again! [It would be a better change if you actually apologized. Empathy would do you some good, too.]

bexoxo blessings...Miley =) [I'm sure your fans have forgotten what this post was about. But yes, God be with everyone. Hugs. Kisses. of DEATH]

WHERE do I even start?!?! That wasn't an apology at all. So I guess people were hating on her for THAT so she put this out on the fansite:

I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD’s ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be.
Peace and love, Miles


You know, that's STILL not a real apology. She's sorry IF the photo offended anyone?! IF?!??!!? She's not really sorry if she hasn't accepted the fact that people were indeed very offended. And she just excused herself of any wrongdoing because God planned it for her. Now, who can argue with GOD?!

You know what, call God up and we'll have a chat about THAT mistake of an existence. I really hope kids learn from better people. There are a plethora of those.

Oh Disney

Oh Disney...what have you DONE?!



Is it just me or are all the idols of our childhood CRAZY now? I mean...wow. It's not just Disney...Nickolodeon, CW...all of them have bred straight insanity! Pop culture train-wrecks are a product of their environment. Take a cute aspiring child actress/singer or heir of some sort and add constant attention and t.v. cameras and this is what you get...



LOL...ok...that's mean...but seriously...

Think about it. They are cute as a button on some show and for years are followed and loved. They are often robbed of their childhood (though many of them choose that and even enjoy the fame and fortune) and are forced to grow up and make their mistakes in the public eye. I will even give them some slack...I mean...I kissed boys when people thought I was too young. I was not always the sweet innocent little girl. I cursed sometimes, I took part in teasing of others... But...I mean...you are in the public eye! You need to tone that shit down. Think about it...YOU'RE AN ACTOR...YOU GET PAID TO BE SOMEONE ELSE... Do your dirt in the privacy of your own home (with no cameras around of course) and continue acting like the cute little one you are. Want to shed that sweet image? Pull a Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and do a nude play or play a drug addict in a movie... THEN you can be a bad girl/boy...just wait until your disney contract and your status as teen idol fade before you do!

Here is a nice gallery of some of the child stars of our day (and some current ones)... Peruse and enjoy!

Disney - A Stripper's Tale

Go Britney!
Go Lindsay!
Go Miley!

Go Vanessa! x2!

Since Disney loves producing our nation's next teen idols, I think it would be great if Disney's next flick was a documentary on the lives of its well-bred, corn-fed, underaged, singing and dancing talents. I mean look at the good Disney is doing! Because of this company's time tested program of isolation, exploitation, and expectation, "normal" children are being inspired to sing cute songs (Britney's "I'm a Slave"), act (Miley's acclaimed role as a young Asian girl), and dance (Lindsay's pole tumbling is 5 star apparently?).

Also, Disney's doing wonders for accelerating America's acceptance of very open, honest, and documented sexuality. Thanks to Disney child idols, the female anatomy is no longer a mystery to 6 year old boys. And forget what Mom always said about not walking "out the house without clean underwear on!" Heck, if our rich Disney idols have taught us anything, it's "why wear underwear in the first place?!"

Question: Was Melissa Joan Heart a Disney kid? If so, we've all seen what becomes of the ones who CHOOSE NOT to conform with Disney's strict regimen of lewd public behavior - their careers and social capital start plummeting fast.  Thank goodness Christina Aguilera found the delicate balance between social decency (celebrity suicide) and Disney Rawness (Fame and fortune)!

Hmm, I guess...now that I think about it, this documentary would have an "X" rating. That may not work....no, probably not.

Well, fortunately we don't have to worry! Even without an official Disney documentary, we'll always have E! News, Entertainment Tonight, The Soup, Wendy Williams, and Chelsea Lately to keep us updated on the latest cultural trends inspired by Disney students and alums.

I wonder what the next wave/craze will be. Since leaked nude cell phone pics and exposed VJs are quickly becoming SO last year, maybe Disney kids will start publicly masturbating? Hey, it would do wonders for pent up teen angst, right?

Thanks Disney!

News!!!

Opportunities seem to be rolling in for us RGC bloggers....


I guess I'll add to the pot!

I don't want to go into tooo much detail (don't want to jinx it or whatever) but...a huge opportunity may have presented itself for me.

Backstory:

I wake up to my mom getting ready for her doctors' appointment yesterday. She is wearing her "Dartmouth Mom" shirt (which has what appears to be a slight bleach drop stain on it) and a pair of jeans- very casual. I thought it was too chill (bleach stain distracting...) and told her "You're wearing that? You sure you don't want to change?"... Glad she didnt!!!!! A guy stopped her in the hospital and inquired whether or not she had a child currently there. She told him my story and how I'm currently interested in law and he gave her some interesting news. He is a Dartmouth alum...class of '72. His ex-roommate (a very lucrative person in law/government here in Atl!) is running for Mayor of Atlanta!!! He gave my mom his contact information and told me to contact him so we could chat and he could find out about me and arrange some sort of meeting with him!

EEP! This could be HUGE!!!

Fixing my resume as we speak!!!

Pray/send good wishes for me!

Back in my day...

Crap.

So my oldest little cousin's 16th birthday is coming up. I have NO idea what to do for her or what she wants. So I ended up asking one of the TAs at work who is also 16. "So what do 16 year olds like these days?" DAMNIT I can't believe I had to ask that.


So what DO 16 year olds like? I mean, she's not old enough to enjoy the dranky dranks or the smokey smokes with me. She's too old to go on a Claire's shopping spree with her little sisters. I'm not ballin enough [read at all] to treat her to a day at the spa (mostly because the other girls and women would want to do it too). I don't like or know her friends to take then ALL out. SIIIGH what to do..what to do? BBQ at the beach? I dunno, I dunno. WHAT DO 16 YEAR OLDS LIKE?!?!

Damn. I'm gettin old. So, tell me, young people. What's hot? What's good? What's poppin'?

My special treat for my own 16th birthday was having MORE family out and taking up TWO tables at our usual Chinese restaurant. That's it. Good food. But it wasn't a big party or anything like some of my friends had (one. I was invited to one sweet 16.). Birthdays have generally been a family thing.

This year though, I hit the big two dozen. So I went a little wilder with one of my best friends who is also a July baby. We went to a drag show dinner with close friends and partied it up at lounges and clubs. I had my tiny tiara and sexy heels. I got a big dick pearl necklace balloon man. It was glorious.

The big quarter century party will be a big one, too, I hope!

Paula Abdul Leaves American Idol


American Idol fans will have to live without one of the famous three judges who made the show the success it is today - Paula Abdul.  After 8 seasons on the show, Paula has opted not to return for the 9th installment.

Taking the news into her own hands, Paula chose to release the shocker over twitter to her over 800,000 followers.  Word quickly spread and "Paula Abdul" was suddenly a top trending topic on the social networking site.

Here is the entire twitter statement from Paula:

“With sadness in my heart, I’ve decided not to return to #IDOL. I’ll be miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day1 become an international phenomenon …

What I want to say most is how much I appreciate the undying support and enoormous love that you have showered upon me. It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month. I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all.”


Will the show be the same?  Will fans still watch?  How long before the show gets the boot?

You tell me.

Give us Free! Give us FREE!...wait, no!

If I ever hear the word "freelance" again!

Thanks for telling me how great I am and offering me employment! 

...What? Oh, my bad. Really? I'm going to have to wait around for you to call me at random so that I can work and make money....hmm.  Well, am I guaranteed a certain amount of work? No?

Well, are there benefits? No?

Q: Okay, so basically I'm unemployed still?  
A: You're great! but this position will allow you the FREEDOM to explore additional opportunities!  You'll be working FREElance so you'll have a ton of freedom in addition to a great job.

Hold it - I'm still going to be broke past 2 or even 4 weeks from now with this "job," right?

Then wamp wamp wamp.  I'm happy I was given an offer, but SURELY you realize this is not exactly life-changing news...at all?

Company X, take a risk!  Invest in the new, inexperienced talent that is knocking at your door - tested and approved with FLYING COLORS.   Forget the darn recession and take on a new worker who could help drive a new system for your old institution.  We all know where the old has gotten you thus far.

...Well, thanks for letting me know that I'm FREElance.  Free to be financially unstable, medically in danger, and have my resume look like cow manure.  :-\

Be well,

*Alert* New Strain of HIV Found!

Be Safe Readers! Keep it wrapped- keep it tight!


"French researchers have identified a new human immunodeficiency virus, the first derived from gorillas, a report said Monday."

The other three strains (I had no idea there were three!!) were found in chimpanzee's.

"The new virus, called RBF 168, was detected in a 62-year-old woman who moved to Paris from the western Africa nation of Cameroon[...]The new gorilla virus "has many of the biological properties necessary for human infection[.]"

"The human case described here does not seem to be an isolated incident, as before coming to Paris the subject had lived in the semiurban area of Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, and reported no contact with apes or bush meat[...] That would indicate that the woman contracted the virus from another human."


Forgive me for being ignorant on the subject (I hope to remain so in many respects...) but I thought that HIV was only contracted through the transmission of bodily fluids (i.e. saliva, blood, ejaculate). The subtle mention of bush meat scares me. Granted...I dont eat human flesh but you can contract HIV from eating cooked meat? Or is this a reference to eating raw bush meat? Someone help me out!

Here's the Source if you want to read for yourself!
