Miley Cyrus sweet 16 to be creepy old man convention
In a show of near unprecedented tackiness, Disney has announced they’re hosting Miley Cyrus’s Sweet 16 birthday party, allowing 5,000 of her fans to join in the celebration for the mere price of $250.
While Miley is expected to sing a couple of songs and a few other Hannah Montana elements will be added, basically what’s being paid for is the privilege to roam Disnyland in Miley’s general presence, which at $250 is exploitive of her younger fans, and enabling of her creepy older fans - 40 year old men looking for an opportunity to hit on a girl one third their age.
I mean is there any situation where a random 40-year-old guy should be allowed to go to a 16-year-old’s birthday party?
I’m not absolving Miley, she’s as guilty as anyone of trying to sexualize her image, but at the end of the day she’s still a teenager and it’s up to Disney to recognize this birthday scheme is inappropriate and should be canceled.
