So. Miley Cyrus.

Posted by Lessa on February 12, 2009 in TV |

Since we’re talking about role models (…we are too. shh.) I thought it only appropriate we bring up this latest bunch of BS too. Everyone knows who Miley Cyrus is – daughter of Billy Ray, star of Hannah Montana, beloved by little girls, teens and tweens everywhere, right? I know some moms don’t like her because she’s sassy, and talks back, but well – that mom, superstar or not, is gonna be surprised when her kid hits tween/teen and talks just like that, and she finds out her kid is just like everyone else, despite not watching Hannah – but I digress. Miley’s a big name, beloved by millions. That’s all I’m saying.

Except, apparently, Lucie J. Kim.

In case you’ve lived under a rock, the above picture was taken at a party, and that’s Miley in the middle, making faces, just like the rest of her friends – behind an apparently Asian dude. Naturally, the National Asian League or whatever they call themselves, are in a tizzy because ZOMG she’s making fun of Chinese People! Behind his back! On purpose! Miley was driven to make an ‘apology’ for making funny faces with her friends, yet folks weren’t satisfied that she meant it or that she understood the error of her ways and are demanding more.

$4 Billion more.

According to legal papers filed at LA Court on Wednesday against Miley, Lucie J. Kim claims to represent more then one million Asian Pacific Islanders who live in Los Angeles County, and is seeking $4000, the minimum damages for a civil rights violation for each and very one of them. That adds up to $4,000,000,000. The basis for her suit says that Miley “knew, or should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life, specifically TMZ.”

OK. So. My first question is this – have ANY of us as kids, or as adults watching our kids – ever thought twice about the funny face making kids do? While in a group of our friends and family, when someone says “Ok! now make FUNNY PICTURE!” how many of us do the same thing? Right. So it’s a normal thing – hat includes the squinty eyes.

And a few more questions – is the guy on the far left getting sued too? Why not? He’s doing the exact same thing! What about the guy doing the bunny ears – is the Rabbit League suing him? How about the two on the right that CLEARLY look stoned… or constipated. Are they being run through the ringer by the National Hemp League, or Exlax Committee? And most importantly, is the guy sitting next to her, who everyone as decided that Miley was making fun of, what does HE think?

Do you think I’m being ridiculous? I don’t think so. The fact is, someone decided to get offended – on behalf of someone else, who hasn’t said that they were bothered at ALL – which means the main, and possible sole, reason behind it was because Miley Cyrus is rich and famous. Role model, smole model. It’s a bid to make money off of someone else, and it makes me feel like… well. like this.

So, who wants to step up and sue me? Gotta warn ya though – you can’t squeeze blood from a rock, and I ain’t got the resources Miley does!
