Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana getting sued...

[mizuki~]

I can't stand her and I was a bit offended by that pic but I do think that suing her for the pic is a little much. The slanty eye pic can be very offensive though and it doesn't matter if there's an Asian kid in the picture or not...As a celebrity, a lot of young kids look up to Miley and I would hate if they saw that pic and thought it was okay to do slanty eye thing to an Asian kid in school or something. I grew up with plenty of slanty eyed jokes and trust me, it was NOT fun.
Also..this reminds me of the picture of that basketball team who all did the slanty eye picture for the olympics.

I can guarantee that this lawsuit will go absolutely nowhere, it is crazy. But hypothetically speaking, if it did hold any merit, Miley would have to pay $4,000 to each Asian person in the city of LA I think it was. That's why it would total up to be 4 billion dollars. Again it's crazy and not going to happen. But it did bring this whole picture and situation to light though to the public. It maybe why the woman tried to go through with the lawsuit.

Even if this incident didn't happen, I'm not sure why her career ISN'T already ruined or heading down that path very quickly. She's been involved in way too many scandals. And yeah the whole moving in with her 21 year old bf thing (correct me if I'm wrong. I had heard about it in a video on youtube from Asathecomic) is insane. Again where are the parents?! Probably spending their little girl's money and sailing in some fancy yacht somewhere. She needs to be more concerned not only for her career but her life. It's very easy for things to get out of control especially when there is absolutely no one there guiding you.

Totally agree with everything you said! Ugh, the memories

I still remember the Olympics incident, again not fun.

Oh no she made a face that pretty much everyone has made at least once in her life.

Why make such a huge deal of it?

I've honestly never made that face before.

But I just personally don't find it funny or in great taste when someone makes it, whether they are Asian or not. It's like rubbing salt on a wound for me. I can't even count how many times some idiot has pulled the slant eye, chingchongchingchong jibberish, or asked me if I eat dogs and cats in my life especially when I was little. Believe me, the people who were doing those things weren't doing it to be funny (at least towards me) but to insult and mock me cause of my race.

The problem is that what she did was caught on camera. It's circulating around everywhere along with pictures of some not so great stuff she's done before. It's not okay for little kids who look up to her and think it's okay to do the exact same things she did cause it's "cool". The point is that she's just a horrible role model not because of this single incident but cause of everything else she has done before.

 

[OfficerJenny]

It may not have been the wisest thing to do, given the fact that she is in such a public eye.
But what right do these people have to get their panties in a bunch because of something as small as this? She doesn't deserve half the ridicule she gets, and she certainly does not deserve a lawsuit over something as childish as this.

 

[nursee81]

I agree the lawsuit against her is STUPID. Are we going to walk around suing everyone that make fun of us????? I know that its mainly be she is a "Star" but that doesn't given them a right to go after her like that.

I understand that many kids look up to her but its the parent responsiblity to teach their kids right from wrong. Just b/c she does something stupid doesn't mean my daughters can do it to. Weather her parents were there for her or not that non of our business.

Many of us have done stupid thing as teenager should we get sued for all of the dumb things we done? I am not saying she was right but they were being immature and silly I guess. We don't know what lead up to the pics being taken. And there's no real good reason for it.

No, it wasn't the wisest thing to do if your famous. It sucks but with the fame you've got to be more cautious about what you do in case something your not proud of doing gets caught on film and leaks out to the public. She needs to be a lot more careful about what she does cause this wasn't the first time somethings leaked.

In my opinion the fame comes with a ton of responsibility. The whole world is going to be watching you regardless of whether you like it or not. And if it was me, I would of done everything I could so that scandals like this don't happen.

I agree about parenting. It's up to them to teach the kids right from wrong and to not be influenced by the media and stuff. But what if a kid doesn't have good parents that are willing to do that? Either way some kids are going to do what they want regardless.


I just think that Miley should just apologize for the whole thing not because it "could of possibly offended" people but because it was something stupid. I don't think anyone who was offended by this (including me) expects money from her, just an apology that's all.

 

[cupcake_x]

I've never made that face before either. Except when applying liquid liner, but that's for liner purposes only and not to make fun of someone.

The parents will let their princess get away with anything because she's raking in the cash for them.

Yeah, that's different, it's for makeup purposes! Not mocking purposes!


I guess cash does make people do crazy things.

 

[cupcake_x]

Haha yes!

And yeah, it totally does. People go crazy over money all the time, it's a shame.

Lol, the only time I do any pulling of the eyes (I'm paranoid about wrinkles) is with eyeliner and putting my contact lenses in or if something gets in my eye.


It is such a shame. People are willing to neglect their kids, steal and kill for cash.

 

[kristina ftw!]

Okay you guys, I am SERIOUSLY curious about something ...
If someone crosses their eyes jokingly in a picture, is that offensive to cross eyed people? Or if they do the puffy fish face, is that offensive to people with round faces and/or fat people? If they do the pouty lip fishy face, is that offensive to people with - well, big lips? Where do you draw the line? On ze wrong side of Miley Cyrus?

It's a hard line to define. I'll agree with that. I'm still more offended by the message she was sending to the kids who look up to her that may think it's okay to joke about people's facial features that are associated with race and the other crap she's been caught doing on camera and leaked out to the public.

 

[OfficerJenny]

I still fail to see the dilemma.

 

[cupcake_x]

Just like people wouldn't like it if someone was making fun of a white or gay person, it's not right to do the whole Asian eyes thing. Especially someone in the public eye, making it seem like it's okay for others to do it.

Just my opinion. -shrug-

 

[OfficerJenny]

I don't think pulling on your lids automatically means you're making fun of Asians.
Just like pushing your lips out doesn't automatically mean you're making fun of African Americans stereotypically "huge lips"

 

[cupcake_x]

That's very true, I agree. I just feel uncomfortable with the whole thing because it's so public- it's one thing if it's two friends joking around, but when it's on the internet.. Ehh...

 

[OfficerJenny]

Yeah I do agree 100% about it not being a good decision when you are in such a public eye. It's all part of her growing up and learning, though.

 

[cupcake_x]

Absolutely.
I can't imagine growing up in the public eye.
