The Taoism (Daoism) of R. Kelly: How Rihanna, Chris Brown and Aaliyah share a connection

I was driving home last night after a long first day with the students and a coaches meeting after school at 6.  The meeting was scheduled just enough to not really allow me to go home and spend any significant time, without having to leave to come back for the meeting.  The meeting was actually okay, because they served dinner (which was just pasta, salad and desert, but it was really good and the desert, which I didn’t have looked outstanding) and they gave us some free gear, which I like, except the part that it looks like we are  (New coaching shirt, T-shirts and mock turtlenecks) repping Adidas this year from Nike last year.  But, free is free and the gear looks good.

On my way back, I was listening to a mixtape (on CD of course, as who still has a tape player?….even though I still have some actual mixtapes) and on this tape it had the remix of Every Girl, featuring R. Kelly.  Here is a sample of his lines… (flip the script for more)

Sarah Palin PLEASE GIVE IT A REST! IT’S A JOKE!

I think that I am finally tired of hearing about David Letterman and Sarah Palin.  There are some quick housekeeping things to get out of the way right now, before we go any further on this topic.

1) Apologies.  How does someone know intent? How do you measure it?  Well, according to our favorite kooks on the blog, they have a device that measures whether your apology is sincere or not.  According to them, the apology is not sincere.

See, that is what you get when you make an apology that you didn’t need to make.  It was and still is a joke.  It was not in the best taste, but political figures are always up for lambasting.  The “Off-Limits” quote that Sarah and the others who feel outrage at this joke fees the need to throw around was directed AT THE OTHER CANDIDATES, not the media, and CERTAINLY NOT COMEDIANS.  That is the price you pay to be in the media spotlight.  Good thing that most of the haters feel this isn’t an apology, so we give him a pass.

2) Willow/Bristol Palin and “Rape” joke.  If you had not seen the Top 10 show (and I find that funny that so many people who express outrage are the same people who are claiming that they never watch him, or that they stopped decades ago, since he stopped being funny.  Really? Then who is watching him?  I mean he is finalizing another large contract extension and clearly, they wouldn’t sign him if nobody is watching?) then you would have thought that Letterman said that a group of baseball players should hold her down and forcibly rape her.

Here is a section of the Chicago Tribune that is asking for an apology.  Note that they state what Letterman said…

Until he does, the Alaska governor and her husband, Todd, have parental rights, even a duty, to press Letterman on the main point: that his jokes Tuesday night about the Palins’ visit to New York and Yankee Stadium — “There was one awkward moment during the seventh-inning stretch; her daughter was knocked up by [Yankee player] Alex Rodriguez” and “The hardest part of her trip was keeping [former New York Gov.] Eliot Spitzer away from her daughter” — were in terrible taste. (emphasis mine to highlight the joke(s) told)

So, the first part of the outrage is that he made a joke about AROD and one of the Palin daughters having ARODS baby.  I think that I missed the rape part of the joke right there.  See, that is a joke… Seriously, where can we insinuate that David Letterman is suggesting that AROD rape her daughter?  Wait for it… I dont think that you can.  Here is what the offended will say about it

But, it’s Willow Palin that he is talking about and she is 14!

First, before answering that, IF he is talking about Bristol, then case closed, you have no right to be offended or outraged, as she already has carnal knowledge, and like Levi stated, they sometimes didn’t practice safe sex and they had a kid.  She is 18, and that is an adult in every state.

That is getting knocked up.  Consensual sex without practicing safe sex, or the Ronin pull-out, can lead to having a child.  How can you get mad at that?  Where is the rape?  Where is the joke about rape?  That only leaves Willow as the possible “victim” of the “verbal rape” perpetrated by Dave Letterman.

So, let’s assume you don’t believe his statements about the joke.

Letterman, on Wednesday’s show, stepped up to the edge of an apology but did not get there. He defended himself by saying that he was joking about 18-year-old Bristol Palin, mother of a child out of wedlock, not 14-year-old Willow, the daughter who accompanied Sarah and Todd Palin to New York.

But he acknowledged that “I can’t really defend the joke. I agree: unpleasant, ugly.” And: “Do I regret having told them? Well, I think I probably do.”

Then why would you still call it rape?  Age is just a number right?  Where is all your outrage here?

In case you forgot, she is 15 and dude is 20...fight against that!

But there is not any here, because it’s Hollyweird, and she is somewhat famous because of her skillset as an actor/singer, so it’s okay.  Condemn it in all areas…

But, back to Willow.  The best argument that they have is that for Willow to get knocked up, she would have to fall victim to “statutory rape.”  To actually figure that out, lets turn to Sandra Norman-Eady,  Christopher Reinhart and Peter Martino for some answers

Most states do not refer specifically to statutory rape; instead they use designations such as sexual assault and sexual abuse to identify prohibited activity. Regardless of the designation, these crimes are based on the premise that until a person reaches a certain age, he is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse. Thus, instead of including force as a criminal element, theses crimes make it illegal for anyone to engage in sexual intercourse with anyone below a certain age, other than his spouse. The age of consent varies by state, with most states, including Connecticut, setting it at age 16. The age of consent in other states ranges from ages 14 to 18.

You might want to save your faux-outrage for women/men who are actually being violated and not just made fun of. For basic research, the authors continue to lay out what the law has in mind.

First-degree sexual abuse of a minor for someone age 16 or older to engage in sexual penetration with someone under age 13.

Second-degree sexual abuse of a minor for someone age 16 or older to engage in sexual penetration with someone who is age 13, 14, or 15 and at least three years younger than the offender.

Fourth-degree sexual abuse of a minor for someone under age 16 to engage in sexual penetration with someone under age 13 and at least three years younger.

So, your best argument is that he made (allegedly) a joke that IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, would be considered a sexual assault.   Which is flimsy.  I found the end of the Chicago Trib article interesting, in that it made a point that rings true…

But instead of apologizing — and he didn’t Thursday, either — he labeled them two of many bad jokes told over the years for “cheap laughs.”

That’s no excuse for careless wording and thinking, especially when minors are involved. Calling any teenager in the public eye promiscuous is, indeed, ugly.

And while Palin trying to play the incident to political advantage, casting it as, yawn, Hollywood vs. America, isn’t exactly pretty, she has every right to press her advantage until Letterman says the magic words: I’m sorry. (emphasis mine)

Here is the HuffPo on the same subject

Letterman said so in a nine-minute chat with the audience on The Late Show the following night, reiterating that, whether the joke was dumb or even tasteless, it was Bristol he was talking about, and that she was eighteen and therefore a legal adult. He repeated, almost too much for me — I didn’t think he had to — that he would never make fun of a fourteen-year-old girl in a sexual context. And I think most sensible people believed him.

Focus on most sensible people. Fanatics trying to promote their causes  or trying to make amends for previous sexist comments are usually not sensible.  We get it My1/2IQ, you are sensitive and you have reformed your sinner ways.  Congrats for that.  But, you take your recently found pulpit too far. As for Sarah, quit trying to continue to ham for the camera.  Enough of you trying to make issues that can keep you in the limelight.  Yes, you are trying to position yourself for 2012.  You need to worry about your own party and get that house in order, before trying to “clean” Hollywood’s house.  The Huffington Post catches Sarah at her game and makes an apt comparison to Dan Quayle

The woman was a flash in the pan, invented by John McCain’s handlers to spark interest in his flagging campaign. With all the competent women he could have chosen, he picked a fly by night governor of one of our smallest states, who’d only served a year and a half and yet was expected to inspire confidence she might lead the free world.Okay, enough said. That’s the recap. The election’s over. However, there are still conservative — make that right wing — diehards who’d love Palin to bring about resurgence to the Republican Party. In their dreams they believe she should be president. And while some might remind me similar jokes were made about Ronald Reagan’s chances for the White House, at least he was a two-term governor of our largest state and before that had built a nationally prominent nice-guy reputation as a popular actor in movies and television.

Sarah Palin is a lightweight, desperate not to fade away, as happened to Dan Quayle, and he was actually an elected vice president. And with her audience generally limited to fringe groups, she recently seized upon some silly patter on a late night talk show, and with the Media’s help has turned it into a cause celebre.

EXACTLY!  Don’t fade away, just continue to govern your state.  Get some practical experience and run your race in 2012.  You hamming it up for the cameras and attempting to make a campaign issue is not going to work.  And the calls for Letterman to be fired?  Only in your dreams, where Hillary Clinton won the election.

Woman Voter, on June 12th, 2009 at 1:39 pm Said:

Don’t know if you have this in any other threads, but I found a site called “Fire David Leterman”

I guess people are not all buying the ‘pretend’ statement that some are calling an apology.

I think that most sensible people bought it, since you really can’t measure intent, and I am glad that he didn’t apologize, just clarified what his statements were about.  What people forget is that Dave Letterman would have to know which daughter attended the game with her.  I think the “knocked up” part was lost on people trying to condemn him for joking about a serious issue in rape.  Too bad your straw man fell the fuck hell apart.  The HuffPo continues…

So, what’s the beef? Earlier this week, Letterman had a dumb joke about Palin in his top ten list: “Bought makeup at Bloomingdale’s to update her slutty flight attendant look.” I wasn’t offended. It just wasn’t that incredibly funny. What was intriguing was Palin didn’t take note of another joke, which had her involved with a kilo of crack.

Being a slut, not okay, slingling a kilo of crack GOOD TIMES!

So, why does the author of the HuffPo get it, but others can’t?

Palin sensed an opportunity and accused Letterman of promoting date rape of her fourteen-year-old daughter Willow. As it turned out, she was the daughter who attended the game with her parents, but there’s not a doubt in my mind that most of the viewers watching the show reacted to the joke with the vivid image of Palin’s older daughter Bristol, who had gotten “knocked up” by her high school sweetheart.

The author gives her two barrels (and the rest of the media) for pushing a meme that is a flat out lie.

Sarah Palin is simply a Media hog, hypocritical and ruthless as it gets. Was it a coincidence that it was only after the campaign ended that Levi Johnston was summarily banished, no longer needed and later decried by Palin and her husband for cashing in on the family name. As if they hadn’t used him as well?

Reprehensibly, the Media lapped all this up and went about it as if they were chasing an ambulance. Many replayed Palin’s accusations or interviewed her, and she repeated what was now a lie — because she knew better — that Letterman had somehow violated her daughter. And worse, many of the Media journalists didn’t follow up her comments with the fact that Letterman insisted he was talking about Bristol.

3) Hypocrisy

Here is what I continue to not get about groups like PUMAS. They sit and complain about things when it suits them, but they are not consistent about them.  My1/2IQ makes a rash of sexist statements, then apologizes for them and we are supposed to forget them.  Jon Favreau makes a gesture THAT IS INTERPRETED as he is groping Hillary Clinton at a party.  he makes an apology, the SOS accepts it, but he is forever known as a sexist in the eyes of PUMAS everywhere.  Why doesn’t it work both ways?  Convenience is the only answer.

She further described David Letterman as a “so-called” comedian, a description that might better be associated with her political future. She also referred to him as a 62-year-old to somehow make the comment appear smarmier, as if he were an old lecher flashing young girls at the local middle school.

Exactly.  Either words have power and can hurt ( classic hate speech rhetoric and theory) or they don’t.  Her use of his age was calculated to draw a highlight between the disparity in ages of her daughters and the comedian.  To make it seems like Letterman is the new Chester the Molester.

again, its a joke. I dont see the outrage about Catholic priests and touching young kids...

This, too, was disgusting on her part, because it was ageist and uncalled for. Would the joke have been less offensive if Letterman were 35 or 40?

Then the biggest point of her hypocrisy is that she turned down his offer to appear on the show and discuss the comment.  This is the first time I have ever seen her turn down a chance to promote herself.  This site has video of her at the I Kill a Dog races with her husband, but the Tonight Show, with a bigger audience, she turned down.  Did she forget youtube and SNL?

She then refused his offer to have her come on his show saying that she didn’t want to help his ratings. This, from a woman who has been gallivanting around the broadcast Media with her false depiction of Letterman, an American treasure. A woman who appeared on Saturday Night Live last fall, a show in which Tina Fey frequently made Palin appear like an idiot, in a desperate attempt to appear cool and bolster the doomed campaign of her and her running mate.

Sarah, you want some coverage, Too Old will happily grant your desires…

Finally, with all this, here is comedy at its finest, no apologies needed.

Jamie Foxx goes after Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Crybaby steps in to defend “his little tramp”

This is what happens when you find yourself irrelevant.  you try to go after someone else.

From BallerStatus.com — Despite an apology from Jamie Foxx for his comments to Miley Cyrus earlier this week, the teen star’s dad has fired back.

Billy Ray Cyrus spoke to “Bonnie Hunt Show” on Thursday (April 16), calling Foxx’s Miley rant “hurtful” and “not funny.”

“It was hurtful,” he said Thursday. “There wasn’t nothing funny about it. And, quite frankly, I think if I said those things about his daughter, he might not find it so comedic.”

Actually, it was pretty funny, since that is the road that she is going down.  we are anxiously awaiting the time that she does a LEGAL (no child porn here please) porn video and to get her in the mood, do some heroin.

On Jamie’s Sirius Satellite radio show on Sunday (April 12), the comedian told the 16-year-old Disney star to “grow up,” make a sex tape and do drugs, in response to a radio interview Miley did in which she called out Radiohead for refusing to meet her backstage at the Grammys.

Here is some funny shit that others had to say about this…

Sweet little Miley vowed to “ruin” Radiohead because they refused to meet with her. And she makes racist picture remarks and slams friends on youtube. Miley is a spoiled, very cold, and ugly brat. I’m glad Foxx said that. He was the only one to take a stance against the retarded girl and he should not have apologized to her. And who really cares about Billy Ray Cyrus? He has no career of his own except through his daughter.

Now, I am not the only one who says things like this?  If Radiohead did not want to meet you, then there is nothing that says that they have to.  Saying that you are going to “ruin” their career is laughable and immature.  YOU ARE NOT FIFTY!  You do not rap, nor can you ruin someones career.  Don’t let a little fame and fortune go to your head.

“She’s gonna ruin Radiohead’s career?” he asked before ripping into the teen star. “Make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan, start seeing a lesbian, and get some crack in your pipe; catch Chlamydia on a bicycle seat.”

After mass outrage, Foxx issued an apology when asked about the situation during an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on Tuesday (April 14). He admitted that he crossed the line, but called his comments jokes.

“Miley, I apologize. I’ll call you,” Jamie said, as he stared. “I so apologize to her. This is sincere because I am a comedian and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. Sometimes, as comedians as we do, we go a little bit too far.

“I have a radio show … we’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. But, there was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just wanna say I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. I’m a comedian,” he continued.

Jamie, if you are a comedian, then you should not have to apologize.  we were thinking the same things about her.  You didn’t go at her as hard as you could.  You should have brought up that she has already laid a good foundation for her being a lesbian.  Remember this picture?

Its just an experiment... like Linsey Lohan...

According to E! News, Billy Ray was angry over the comments, and said that “He doesn’t understand why he would do that to Miley, especially since he has a teenage daughter himself.”

Billy Ray,

Give it a rest.  Don’t try to step in now and try to act like a parent.  Where were you during the lesbo pics?  Where were you when you daughter was sexting?

To answer your question about why he would do this, it’s simple.

1) He is a comedian and his job is to make fun of  people and current events.  your daughter placed herself at the center of this with her many missteps in life and on the internet.

2) His daughter has not a) flashed for the internet, b) had lesbian style pictures of her on the internet, and

3) Is not dating a man when she is 15.

Dude is an underwear model and 20. Do you think that he is going to wait for you? Wait, I bet that he didn't need to wait, because you have already been broken in by DAD. BTW, Do those look real? Is this child porn? Will I be held responsible?

The last one is the worst one, because you are okay with some dude who is a man (dude is at least 20) when your teenage daughter is 15.  Either A) she is a woman and can date who she wants, thereby allowing her to fight her own fights, or B) You see her as a child who can’t make her own choices and thereby needs your her to fight her own fights.  Ultimately though, nobody really cares that you are butt hurt over this Billy Ray.  Write some horrible country song about it if you really have a problem with it.

Hanna Montana The Movie: More Dressed up Disney Plotlines…

One of the many life lessons that I learned from my Dad is, “Your word is your BOND, don’t fuck it up.”

It wasn’t as crass as that, but that is what the advice boiled down to.  It was and still is great advice.  People will remember you for the promises you made and didn’t keep.  They will also remember you for the things that you did.  Your mistakes will follow you around for as long as possible.

I got 99 problems...

After all the various things that have happened (slanty-eyes racist) (BOLT) (OLD BF pimping her) (VANITY FAIR) (MYSPACE TYPE PICTURES) Miley Cyrus (D.B.A.) Hanna Montana is in drastic need of an image makeover.  What better way to have an image makeover than to be involved in a movie?  That always make people forget about the mistakes…

‘HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE’

She can sell records, but can she carry a plot? Does this even have a plot? Call her Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus, her concert movie did a good deal better than the one from the Jonas Brothers.

What really is that saying?  The Jonas Brothers are weak and I couldn’t name a song if you tortured me with Hanna Montana music and videos.

A leopard doesn't change it's spots...unless you spray paint them to match the coat...

This Disney outing is about how nice it would be to get back to small-town values.

I didn’t know racism and strippers were endemic to small towns…wait, they are actually.  My Bad, good job Disney!

This is small town racism... It shouldn't take Though the Wire and Kayne West to know about him...

This is a small town racist...She fits perfectly in the movie...

That one has been made before, back when small towns still existed and hadn’t been taken over by shopping malls. In any case, Hannah ’s fame has gotten messy, so her father urges her to return to Crowley Corners, Tenn., where she may learn to thank God she’s a country girl. The girl’s real-life father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, plays the movie dad (just like on TV). No wonder it’s rated G.

Because I secretly hate you, I am including the trailer for you to watch.

So, the movie has been made before…what is the reason to see this again?  Because the media has created another false idol to worship?  I would never take any child to see this and I blame parents for hyping her up to the level that she is at.

I want to make it clear that I am not hating on her and her enterprise.  Remember, we blogged about the fact that she could be like the Olsen twins and make not millions, but a billion dollars with the franchaise.  Her biggest lesson is to find a way to not mess this up.  You can’t hate on her because she is rich, or has a character that is so well known.  You can hate on her for being a MySpace whore, or racist.  I chose a little from column A and a litlte from column B and the rest comes from killing a beautifully laid out plan.  Because in the words of Hannibal Smith, “I love it when a plan comes together…”

The movie is going to suck.  There is no way around that.  But, the movie will make money hand over fist.  The people will be fighting to hand over their money to get a ticket to this charade.

If you are Billy Ray, you are happy that your child is still relevant and you are happy to get a role in the movie and a chance to make some loot off this venture.  You are still making music ( I think , since I don’t listen to country) and movies is just another way to further you money.

Miley Cyrus is RACIST!

Wow,

It never stops.   The internet never sleeps and if you didnt know this, it’t too late in the educational game.  Let me repeat what I already said in a previous post that this young woman is going to be worth more than the Olsens and she is sitting on a billion dollar empire.  I know that entertainers like to live the good life, but does she really have a billion dollars that she can watch go down the drain?  The Vanity Fair pictures set off a maelstrom of negative publicity that can damage her empire.  Her fathers music isn’t that good, so does she think that is going to pay the bills? (well the answer is yes, since Billy Ray is sitting on chrome too, but my point was only to make fun of bad country music and the people who love it.)

Vanity Fair has defended the images as being in good taste and said the photo session, in which the actress’s father also posed, was conducted responsibly.

“Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day,” magazine spokeswoman Beth Kseniak said.

“Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.”

The photographs accompany an interview with Cyrus, in which she talks about the pressures of fame and her hopes for her future career. The issue goes on sale in the UK this Friday, while the story and photographs are already on the magazine’s website. The site crashed because of high traffic Monday afternoon.

Hannah Montana, which has a huge fan base of six to 14 year olds, attracts massive TV ratings and the spin-off albums have gone platinum. Some estimates have suggested Cyrus could be worth $1bn by the time she is 18.

That is really my only point.  I love money and I paper chase all the time to collect as much of it as possible.  It burns me to watch the potential just get snuffed out like a match.  So, now these photos get out…

Its okay because I have an Asian next to me!

This isn’t too bad right?…

Washington

(ANI): Teen star Miley Cyrus is back in news, and this time, it’s for all the wrong reasons pics of the 16-year-old have surfaced on net showing her poking fun at Asians. While last year’s scantily-clad photos of the teen sensation caused outrage, this time round Cyrus and a group of male friends can be apparently seen pulling their eyes to mock Asians while one Asian-American sits among them.

And the picture, which hit the Internet recently has enraged the Asian-American community. Officials at advocacy group OCA are demanding an apology from Cyrus, reports Contactmusic. The group’s executive director says, “Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimised the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans.

“We hope that Miley Cyrus will apologise to her fans and the APA community for this lapse in judgement and takes the opportunity to better understand why the gesture is offensive.”

First, Asian Americans need to have better taste, because her music sucks.  But, that is really not the point.  Okay it is, but for a later rant.  The point is that is offensive.

Here is a point that I make all the time about racism.

If you can count how many Black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian, White or purple friends you have…..

You are definitely a racist, anyone who takes the time to count couldn’t be anything less.

She is probably saying right now, ” But Jimmy Chen is Asian and he didn’t mind!”  Let me tell you why he didn’t mind

1) You have or will get Oprah money.  No fool wants to leave that.

2) Jimmy wants to desperately be white.  We all all making fun of those Asians.  Good thing I am hanging out with the white kids!

3) Jimmy likes being in the popular group, so hurtful, racist things he has to let slide.

Its like the Black guy in Law and Order who was real  light skinned. He was able to pass off as white and had done so for a long time.  He had a child and the baby of course was black.  His white ex-wife didnt want her high society friends to know that he was black and that she married a black man, so she poisoned her drink and threw her off the balcony of her high rise.  She did that so her friends would not know.  Self loathing at its finest.

We know of her other work in BOLT and other movies, but now she is going to become the next female Amos and Andy.

We are not racist! There were just no available blacks for this role!

I would love to talk to Miley just for ten minutes.  I think that I hopefully could set her dumb ass straight.

Miley Cyrus: Getting Pimped out at a young age

The topic sums up our thoughts on this subject succinctly. Billy Ray is okay with his daughter getting pimped out in the industry and by others. Obviously, we talked about the pictures and the threat to the franchise.  Now, the early pictures have leaked (and of the family pimping out her sexuality)  and the news that her father is perfectly fine with his 15 year old daughter ( she is now 16 on the 23rd of November) dating a 20 year old man.

Ready to get put away wet? And of course the rest of the saying...

Billy Ray Cyrus said that the relationship his 15-year-old daughter Miley Cyrus has with 20-year-old Justin Gaston is “a good thing.”

The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer told People magazine that Miley Cyrus’ new boyfriend is a “good kid.”

“Justin’s a good friend. A good friend of the family,” Billy Ray Cyrus told People magazine Tuesday. “I met Justin as I was hosting ‘Nashville Star’ and I introduced the two of them. He’s a good kid. Great heart. Lives for the light and he’s very talented.”

First, dude…really? 15??? I imagine that you don’t have many friends, since any friend would tell you what you are doing is wrong. Picture this scenario. You are getting ready for your High School Prom (if you are the guy douche). You get your tux ready, and you buy a flower for your date. You make some dinner arrangements and get a limo together. Now, envision having to go pick your date up at the middle school. Would you be okay with that? What time do you need to have her in the house?  Ten?  Or did she get a one time “mom I promise I will be good” extension til eleven?  Normally, if they are both consenting adults, these don’t really work. If you are 50 like Linda Hogan and you want to date some young dude, then that is your right. At least the guy is an adult and maybe he likes MILFS. There is no statue/crime against that. The Too Old crew likes MILFS too. Plus, he is losing his hair, so it makes him look older ( although please do not use this as an excuse, like “dude, she looked 21″…)

I hope Hulk doesnt see this or he will beat my ass!

Second, isn’t there  a crime against having relationships with children. That is called statutory rape. (Because do you really get into a relationship for only platonic reasons???)  Let me help you out bro…

Most states do not refer specifically to statutory rape; instead they use designations such as sexual assault and sexual abuse to identify prohibited activity. Regardless of the designation, these crimes are based on the premise that until a person reaches a certain age, he is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse. Thus, instead of including force as a criminal element, theses crimes make it illegal for anyone to engage in sexual intercourse with anyone below a certain age, other than his spouse. The age of consent varies by state, with most states, including Connecticut, setting it at age 16. The age of consent in other states ranges from ages 14 to 18.

Here is a chart to help you out.  Hopefully, you are NOT in Alabama

Now, this is not the shocking part of the story. I always thought that Billy Ray was a hick, but I didn’t think that he would attempt to embrace his roots so openly.

Gaston helped celebrate Miley Cyrus’ early 16th birthday bash at Disneyland over the weekend (she turns 16 on Nov. 23), and even joined Billy Ray Cyrus on a rendition of “Achy Breaky Heart.”

People also quoted an interview that Billy Ray Cyrus recently gave to “Access Hollywood,” where he said of Gaston, “He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20 years old and I was living and searching for the dream.”

So, when he was 20 he was cruising the 9th grade girls P.E. line? Some country folks get down like that, but I thought that reforms and legislation like Amber’s Laws and other laws would alleviate this from happening.

Is it because this is happening in Hollywood that we are not outraged with it? If I had a 15 year old daughter, there is no way in hell she is dating a 20 year old. She could hide it and I might not find out about it, but I sure as hell would not condone the relationship. If she wants to date a 25 year old when she goes off to college, then I can’t and would not want to stop that. But, damn girl you are still in high school.

Now this seems like something that is actually doable…

Cyrus previously dated Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers band, who just turned 16.

Miley Cyrus told Seventeen magazine in August that she and Jonas were in love and that she “bawled for a month straight” after their breakup at the end of 2007.

“We were in love with each other,” she told Seventeen. “For two years he was basically my 24/7. But it was really hard to keep it from people. We were arguing a lot, and it really wasn’t fun.”

That is the type of relationship that you should have. Get to know what love really is. There is a difference between love and lust. Your hormones might be jumping, but you don’t have to always follow them.  The interesting part is that she had to keep a normal sounding relationship quiet, but dating the old dude, she is free to tell everyone?  Too weird…

We don’t care who you date. Either of the guys that you are rumored with we don’t know, couldn’t pick them out of a lineup, and never have listened to their music. But, unlike Charles Barkley, YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL! My nieces should not think that its okay to hook up with a old dude. (at least until they are 18, then they can just disappoint me and I will keep my opinions quiet until its time to get plastered and talkative.)

All of this doesn’t even get to the photos

Times are hard when your daddy doesn't have any talent

This doesnt even reach the tip the iceburg. The other pictures that were posted at Backseat Cuddler,  are much worse than this and portray a more provocative Miley Cyrus, who is only 10.  That is blurring the line of sexuality for all parties involved, even if they are ten. (a site that must have been started by our friend Jason.)

In other news, when will someone take away her personal camera and get her a phone that does not allow pictures?  Yes, she is 15 and young girls do stupid things.  But, she does them again, and again. This would be old news, but we talked about it on multiple occasions.  So much so, she is going to get her own category.

The parents are not going to step in, as they have been pimping her for years.  Its time for the friends and family to make it work and to say enough is enough.

Miley Cyrus Hanna Montana Photo Scandal…Can Miley Cyrus repair her damaged credibility with BOLT?

The clear answer is no.

This is the wholesome image that they want you to see. Here, she looks like any 16 year old girl. Clean, wholesome (although showing the midriff, to express her sexuality in a dirty, Lolita sense) and talented, she represents what mothers and fathers want their children to grow up being. Then, there is the other side that we remember so well.

Then there is the news that she wants to go into photography.

Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) wants to go to London to learn to be a photographer. Her experience in a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz (remember the ones that showed her nearly nude in Vanity Fair? The ones that were kinda looking post coital that resulted in a ton of criticism directed towards the magazine, photographer, Cyrus and her father?) caused her to reevaluate her options.

“I do want to come to London to study photography. I hear there are some really great art schools, so I would love to do that. I got to work with an amazing photographer. Leibovitz was amazing and so talented,” Cyrus says. “And that’s what I want to do with my life. I would love to be a photographer. I would love to work with her again.”

Now, we are all for the youths thinking about their futures, since they will have to take care of us when we get older. But, how quickly we forget…

A row has broken out over a Vanity Fair photoshoot showing a partially dressed Miley Cyrus, the 15-year-old star of Disney hit TV show Hannah Montana.

Disney has moved to protect the squeaky-clean image of one its most bankable stars, accusing the magazine of creating a situation “to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines”.

Cyrus, the daughter of singer Billy Ray Cyrus, has also moved to distance herself from the images.

“I took part in a photoshoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” Cyrus said in a statement.

“I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologise to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

The photograph, taken by celebrity photographer Annie Leibowitz, shows Cyrus topless with a satin sheet covering her front, leaving her back exposed.

The image has attracted controversy because of Cyrus’s age and the fact that she is regarded as a role model for young girls.

Vanity Fair has defended the images as being in good taste and said the photo session, in which the actress’s father also posed, was conducted responsibly.

“Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day,” magazine spokeswoman Beth Kseniak said.

“Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.”

The photographs accompany an interview with Cyrus, in which she talks about the pressures of fame and her hopes for her future career. The issue goes on sale in the UK this Friday, while the story and photographs are already on the magazine’s website. The site crashed because of high traffic Monday afternoon.

Hannah Montana, which has a huge fan base of six to 14 year olds, attracts massive TV ratings and the spin-off albums have gone platinum. Some estimates have suggested Cyrus could be worth $1bn by the time she is 18.

Remember those comments? Was it because of the pressure your fans put, since your wholesome image was damaged with your internet foolishness with your friends, and now broken with these pictures?

Or is it that you understand that sex sells…? Either way, you are hypocritical. Especially since you could be worth a billion, not a million, but a billion dollars at age 18. Now I am all about the dollars, but I don’t think that you can have it both ways. Now, she is going a Disney joint called BOLT.

I don’t really care about the story, but Disney is trying to ride her for all she is worth. They had her on the Thanksgiving Day Parade parading around and trying to hype the movie. This is trying to pimp her for kids, and she is trying to expose herself as a woman. These worlds will come crashing into each other, and it would be a shame if it costs her loot.

Another thing that was interesting was that Rick Astley was on the float as well.

He coined the term, rickrolling. If you don’t know what rickrolling is, click here.

Here is another picture that I will allow you to caption…
