It's sort of shitty to compare Miley Cyrus to Justin Bieber

Yeah, Miley's done a few things that were tacky and ill-considered, but Bieber seems like a little asshole.

But I guess dressing like a loose woman is morally equivalent to getting arrested for drag racing while drunk and high, egging someone's house, banging a hooker, and... hasn't he done like 10 other things this year?

And compared to many "starlets", she's a kind and intelligent person. Not so the Beeb , who's nuthin' but a punk-ass loser.

As shady little "Junior" told me about one of our new co-workers "He axs like someone that ain't had his beat'n yet today!"

I used to work with Junior (how did you get Justin from that?), and he was telling me about one of his new stablemates, straight outa the halfway house - terminally obnoxious, and not posessed of a work ethic valuable enough to put up with him.

In other words - just like the Beeb, a waste of 67 cu.ft./oxygen/day.

And I would drink a beer with Miley way before Lohan or the Bleiber

Nor has she egged people's houses.
In addition, she has been an outspoken supporter of LGBT rights.

If you consider her untalented, fine. That's you opinion and you have every right to say so.

However, give Miley more credit than lumping her in with Bieber.

Not sure about Bieber but I am unaware of any songs from him telling people using drugs was just good times.

Both of them are Teen stars gone wild.

then they act like dicks.

I don't know any woman who acts like cyrus. As for Beiber? He needs to lose his money and get a job in the real world to get his mind on track back to reality. He has body guards that protect him from his aggressive stupidity and he thinks he's a marauder rather than a silly assed kid.

It's a symptom of something more serious about media diet in general.

Whats so hard about ignoring Kardashianism? If you did, there wouldn't be any. I know one of them is called Kim and only a vague idea of who she is. I have not a tiny teeny weeny interest.

Maybe it's because I don't have regular tv, just Roku and Netflix. but even when I did I avoided those Entertainment Tonite kind of shows like the plague. And I haven't bought a Hollywood star mag in years and years.

I don't get it.

And I'm on the same page regarding the Kardashians. Other than serving as a foil for Palin humor, I have no interest in them. Celeb news has however always held a high place in Western media. Unfortunately, even sources we might ordinarily consider progressive-leaning such as Raw Story seem fixated on dishing out the weekly outrage by Bryan Fischer or Pat Robertson. It's not useful information but it gets a rise out of the readership, which is entirely what it's intended to do.
