Pimpin' the Chirrens

If you're anything like me, you sit around and wonder where humanity has gone wrong. What is wrong with people today? We're getting more and more stupid, lazy, oversexed, crazy and lacking in things like ambition and drive for success. People blame this on a number of reasons...depending on who you talk to. Technology, not enough religion, too much religion, women in the workplace, blah blah blah.

I point to one particular family as not only a prime example of the disintigration of society, but also a key player in the continuation of the downfall.

The Cyruses.

Remember a few short years ago before Hannah Montana hit it REALLY big? It was a simpler time, even by recent standards. Billy Ray was still doing Picadilly commercials. Miley was getting there, but hadn't quite become the mega ultra deluxe superstar. By all appearances, they were just another family. Ok, well, close enough.

Fast forward a few short years. After Miley/Hannah success. She's an actress (?). She's a singer (debatable). She's a major international phenomenon. She goes to the Oscars every year (why is that, exactly?). She's a cojillionaire. That's a lot of pressure to put on a teenage girl. But her parents seem to love it and support her "art" even when that "art" is inappropriate pole dancing in labia-peeper shorts at a teenage award show.

It's as though the whole messed up former child star thing doesn't exist to these people.

What is it doing for the rest of the kids? Well, I don't know about all of them, but the effects are permantly etched into Trace's body....

I'm all for tattoos, now. But when they clearly become an excessive cry for help...not good, my friends. Not good.

Then there's Noah, the little one. Still young...still full of potential. But the resulting favoritism of a more successful sibling has already begun to shine on through. That's Noah for Halloween. Perhaps she was just dressing up as her sister?

In case you're wondering, this rant is stemming from the recent E! special where they talk about Miley's "evolution" and how she's coming out with new, more sexual "art." It basically looked to me like she's pulling a Britney now that she's reached the ripe old age of 17 and all.

Grab your popcorn. The bare feet, babies, shaved head and crazy is only a hop, skip and a jump away! Then Noah will pull a Jamie Lynn Spears. Mark my words.
