Have a slice of birthday cake with Miley Cyrus at Disneyland

by Richard Keller, posted Aug 25th 2008 5:22PM

Got a few hundred bucks? Then you can go wish Miley Cyrus a happy birthday at DisneylandParents, it is time to put our collective feet firmly on the ground. We have spent the last year-and-a-half pumping billions of dollars into the monstrosity that is the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus empire with the ever-increasing amount of products that give our daughters fits whenever they see them in the store. Everything and anything with even a picture of The Hannah or Miley has come into our homes, making our childless neighbors or those with a cadre of boys scratch their heads in curiosity as to why this teenager's face graces so many surfaces.

Well, I say enough is enough! Time to put down our wallets and purses, straighten up and notify our children, in a firm but gentle manner, that we will no longer be supporting their Hannah/Miley addiction. The best place to start is to let them know that, in no uncertain terms, will we be plunking down $250 a pop (plus airfare, lodging, and rental car) to wish Ms. Cyrus a happy 16th birthday at Disneyland on October 5th. Oh, Cyrus will perform a few songs at the party, and it will be limited to 5000 of her closest fans. But, will the cost be worth it for something your daughters will forget when Miley eventually fades into the limelight and they begin to think about (gasp!) boys?

But, if you can't resist, you better get to your phone, computer, or Disneyland now to be one of the first when tickets go on sale this Saturday at 9:00 AM PDT (that's noon to us East Coasters). Don't worry, the rest of us will be there to support you when you return. Just make sure you bring pictures and souvenirs of the event. Hey, we have only so much strength, you know!

Tigger and the Teen: news, or just a wacky video?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jan 12th 2007 3:41PM

TiggerI've gotten sick and tired of seeing this story on every single morning, afternoon, and evening news program, so I'm glad someone else has mentioned it.

I'm talking about the controversy surrounding the guy in the Tigger suit who assaults (?) the teenager. His dad filmed the whole thing, and now the family is outraged. They demand an apology (no money so far). Disney has suspended the worker while they investigate.

But is this "news" or just a wacky home video? CJR Daily talks about all of the airplay the story and the video have been getting on all the news shows this past week. Is it an assault? Did the teen do something behind Tigger? Did Tigger lose his balance? Did Tigger mean to hit him in the face? Did he hit him in the face hard? Watch the video after the jump and decide for yourself.
