But A For Effort

mileycondoms.jpg

If you're a condom maker and searching for the next big celebrity to endorse your product, you might have problems if 15-year-old Miley Cyrus is the first person to come to mind. Unfortunately, the geniuses behind LifeStyles condoms are all destined to make appearances on To Catch a Predator, because Miley is exactly the spokesperson they're targeting. Says Lifestyles' VP of marketing:

Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to disuss the subject of sex. With recent reports showing that one out of four teenage girls has an STD and the high level of teenage pregnancy, we believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set — and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America.

And just to sweeten the deal, the tween pop star — who claims to be waiting for marriage — will receive a lifetime supply of condoms for "whenever she decides the time is right." Well, who can turn that down?

    A lifetime supply of LifeStyles is not an incentive. Those things are awful. I'm fairly sure the "lubricant" is rattlesnake venom, and they break like 60% of the time. If your lifestyle involves vaginal chafing and unplanned pregnancy, this is your brand.

    She will never endorse for them, Disney won't let her, that and the fact she is 15. That said, I think they make a valid argument that having someone kids will relate to would/might help reduce STD's and pregnancies in teens. Lets be honest, they don't want her because she could maybe help stop disease, they want her because she would help sell their product to an untapped, so to speak, market.

    janice– thanks so much, I actually snorted with laughter at work. Now, even hidden in the obscurity of my cubicle, it's obvious to all my co-workers that I am not doing real work.

    Man, it's like watching Britney grow up all over again. Miley came across as this virginal sweet little girl, and now appears to act like a total brat that probably should have had more discipline and a good ass whoppin'. In 5 years are we going to see her on a balcony grabbing some mangy dudes junk as well?

    She's acting like a total brat and needs an ass whoppin'? Or perhaps she's autistic.

    Same thing, really.

    Stopthemadness - You seem to be the reason condoms were invented. Do you know what Autistic is, moron?

    Disney should come out with a line of rubbers. Just thing of the merchandisings tie-ins. Hannah Montana condoms would fly off the shelf as fast a Chinese workers could make them. They could sell the female condom under the Princess banner. A seven dwarf line with each dwarf getting their own fruity flavor. A Tiger condom with a numbing agent for those overly excited guys. The flagship would be the Magnum Mickey Mouse condom, ribber for her pleasure of course.

    and kate, you don't have to live and breathe MG to know randomly calling someone a moron without knowing what the hell you're talking about is, in a word, moronic.

    Am I the only one who thinks this would be a good idea? I mean, it has to send a better message to teens than abstinence only education, rags that feature teen moms feeling wonderful about their babies, and virginal stars who talk about their purity while posting half-naked pictures on their myspace.

    STM- I get how Aaron didn't know you were kidding. It's an inside joke. If I was new to a group and someone said that I would flip.

    No. 15 stopthemadness says:

    i have no problem with him not knowing i was kidding. my sense of humor runs the gamut of sarcastic to stupid. i do have a problem with throwing around insults.

    i don't think i've ever known you to disagree with a commenter right out of the gate by calling her (or him) a moron.

    a "stopthemadness, i'm offended by your comment and i wonder if you know what autistic is" would have been a less moronic response to which i would have responded "yeah, perhaps the joke was in poor taste, but check out what i said in last week's post about michael savage."

    that is all.

    i like to think the MG commenters are a cut above the Perez or superficial commenters. I expect that sort of nonsense on those blogs.

    Don't feel bad stm. My sense of humour is so warped, off the wall, misunderstood and misinterpreted, (I blame you, you English g-net-ics! *shakes fist at King Richard the Third*) that I am taking up office as the official red-headed (teehee) step-child of Mollygood.

    So let me get this straight: she's saving herself for marriage, but she's taking pictures of herself where she's lifting up her shirt and where she's in the shower..? Right.
    Honestly, on MySapce, pretty much the majority of girls from 15 to 17 post up pictures that aren't clean, but at the same time, not dirty. So..it's not that HUGE of a deal that she's doing it. But then again, those girls on MySpace aren't role models for thousands of little girls.

    So, let me get this straight.. She is saving herself for marriage but she's taking pictures of herself while she's lifting up her shirt and posing for the camera while she's in the shower? Um.. right.
    Honestly, it's not that big of a deal that she's in the shower because she IS wearing a t-shirt, isn't she? And her lifting up her shirt.. it's only her stomach. A lot of girls from the ages 15 to 17 have worse pictures up on MySpace. It may not be the smartest thing to do, but it's not exactly a naked Vanessa Hudgens. Close enough. HAHA. But anyways, those girls on MySpace are just typical girls. But Miley Cyrus isn't a "typical" girl and she should know better because I am 100% sure that she is aware of the fact that she is a role model for thousands of little girls. So therefore, I think she's stupid brat that's going to end up like Britnet Spears.
    Go Selena Gomez!
