Internet to Miley Cyrus: Oh yea, well you’re “kinda lame” too.

For those of you who don’t follow the teen queen’s every footstep, Miley Cyrus gave an interview to Movieline.com the other day saying she’s really glad she deleted her Twitter account and that the Internet is “kinda lame.” She also tells “kids” to stay away from the Internet because it’s dangerous. Really Ms. Miley? Really?

My favorite sound bite from the interview is when she decries her friends for being obsessed with taking pictures when they’re out and about and then uploading them to Facebook, and how she thinks that they’re not really enjoying the moment because they’re too busy documenting it. Now unfortunately, I’m forced to give Ms. Miley an iota of credit here. Yea, we ‘Mericans are kind of obsessed with documenting the moment and uploading said documentation to our social networking site of choice. But the photo exhibitionism Miley… it has roots. And it has reason.

You see America is an interesting country, we’ve never really had true royalty to emulate. Instead we pick people like Bill Gates, Michael Jordan, Oprah, Angelina Jolie and unfortunately Miley, you. We see pictures of you getting photographed by paparazzi at parties, walking down the street, and we think “Gee, that looks like fun. I wanna be famous too.” And luckily, websites like Facebook and Twitter allow us an outlet with which to showcase our narcissism. And I know that’s a big word, go to Dictionary.com to look it up if you want, oh wait, the Internet is lame. I forgot.

So maybe it would be good of you to remember that not everyone is famous and we can’t all have Billy Ray as our pops, and so maybe we like taking pictures or posting Twitter updates. Or maybe you should just stop giving people advice about things your pretty little head will never understand.
