Best of both worlds???
One of the early "News" stories of the New Year has me laughing at Society's hypocrisy.
The Story is about a group of Adults bringing litigation against Pop Star, Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hannah Montana. For those that may not know, "Hannah Montana" is a Disney T.V. show about a Pop Star princess that wants to have a "normal" life so on Stage she is Hannah Montana and by day she is Miley. The show is all about the predicaments that a young girl can get into by leading a double life. In the show, Hannah wears a Blond wig, while Miley is a Brunette. It is a semi-funny show that ten year old boys love but they will never admit it!
Anyhow, Hannah has become such a pop culture icon, that this year, Disney, (never a Corporation shy about exploiting a buck) decided to do a Hannah Montana Live Tour. Ticket prices are so outrageous that some have been sold on online Auctions for as much as $1500 Sometimes our stupidity really amazes me.
Amazed as I might be, the events of this past week or so have taken everything to the next level. During a 12 to 15 second portion of the live show, Hannah uses a body double that lip syncs to a Sound track, so that she can change back into Miley Cyrus for the next set. Some Einstein noticed it and is now suing because part of the show is faked.
Now, let me get this straight. You bought EXPENSIVE tickets to go see a show about a girl that plays a fictional character with a double identity and it upset you that during the show she switched identities by false means? Hello!!! Somewhere a Village is calling and they miss you!
Here is what I think it is. Some "bright" person was at the show when they realized that they probably won't be able to make their Mortgage payment because of how much they spent on tickets. Then they looked around and realized how much money this young girl was making and decided to try and get some back! I have had "buyers remorse" before, but I have never sued anyone over it!
Anyway, back in the REAL world. Things are going well. I hope they are for you too!
