just stop it already.

dear media,

please stop with the miley cyrus crap, seriously i am over it.

you’ve had your say, the hype, etc let it go.

this isn’t the fault of miley cyrus, where were the disney spies and people that they normally glue to their money makers for fear they don’t do anything “inappropriate”?

personally, i do not wish for EITHER of my children to watch your station IN THE FIRST PLACE.

i try to direct them towards shows like icarly, or stations such as discovery kids, or noggin.

after seeing my daughter, at a mere six years old dancing in front of the television while watching a britney spears video on disney, and pulling up her shirt like she was doing a strip tease, i banned the disney channel from my home.

this is a hot topic for me, along with child beauty pageants and the bratz dolls.

i feel a rant coming on, but gotta go take my son to the dentist. never fear, a rant to follow.

thanks for your attention.

yours in service,

piglet
