I’m a prude I’ll admit it, but this is just too much. Miley Cyrus is just a kid not even 16 years old yet! I don’t care how sophisticated or precocious today’s youth are. They are in the end still just kids. Why can’t these people just leave them alone to make their own mistakes and poor decisions? We all got to! It’s inevitable, but for poor Miley and other teens and children in the public eye they get too much damned help with that and I think it’s just sick!

Lifestyle condom company actually approached this CHILD to endorse their product! Excuse me I must take pause. I’m too pissed to even type. Who is the marketing genius who thought up this one? Obviously he/she (come on, who are we kidding – he) doesn’t have any teenage daughters.

I quote MSN, “LifeStyles Condoms has reportedly offered the purity-ring-sporting star a million bucks to endorse its wide range of lubricated products.”

Doesn’t that just sound sick and wrong?

Here’s what they had to say about it:

“Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex,” says a company mouthpiece. “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.”

Yeah, I get that, sure. And we invaded Iraq looking for WMDs. I understand that this sounds good, but all I keep seeing is some greasy guy eyeing Miley with a lascivious grin on his face while reaching for this product. It just plain gives me the heebie jeebies.

Besides, teenagers aren’t even really her demographic! It’s tweens and younger (those between 8 and 12)! Are they going to beg mom and dad for a pack of ribbed just because Miley said so? Is the company’s next step to also make them with cartoon characters? Oop! I don’t want to give them any ideas. Haven’t we had enough of companies selling adult products to kids?

Miley Cyrus proves that she is smarter than most of even her adult celebrity counterparts. She said no. Good girl!! She stated that she has not received an offer and even if she had she wouldn’t even consider it. She’s looking into colleges abroad to study fashion and photography proving that she has her eye on bigger horizons than what mere celebrity would offer her. I hope Papa Cyrus is as proud of her as I am.

Is it that this fledgling celebrity has a future beyond her current career that makes her so much smarter and possessing much greater common sense than seasoned adult celebrities who seem to have lost their minds in pursuit of the spotlight?

Lifestyles (and anyone else eying Miley or any other MINORS), back off!!

If anyone else is as irate about this as I am and would like to respectfully (or not so respectfully) request that Lifestyles at least choose someone to endorse their product who has actually reached the age of consent you can do so here.
