Disney Loves Tyranny
What is up with people my age watching Disney movies, listening to Radio Disney music, and idolizing child stars? If you need an example, I’m talking about High School Musical, Zack & Cody or Hannah Montana. Who the fuck is Zac Efron and the Jonas Brothers, and why do they keep getting featured on my celebrity news shows? Seriously, unless you are under the age of 13, you should not be watching or hearing anything that Disney promotes. It should be completely off your radar. Go upgrade to less-corny Degrassi or Gossip Girl and get on with your life. If you want to collect posters of Jesse McCartney and Miley Cyrus, or buy a soundtrack from a TV movie you better build a fucking time machine.
Precious minutes of Chelsea Lately are being devoted to these cheeseballs and their petty rivalries or “virginity status”. For sanity’s sake, Disney’s stronghold on celebrity gossip needs to stop!
Ah I know, and I HAVE to update with those people for my site LOL. I love Chelsea but yeah she needs to stop talking about them LOL!

DUDE. I am totally convinced that Disney is the most evil corporation that exists. I watched ManillaRyce’s video
(there’re also a part two) and it made me think a bit differently about my favorite childhood channel. And then I read List of Assets and it totally scared the shit out of me. Disney pretty much rules the world.

I LOVE Chelsea Lately. You don’t even know.
I kind of like Miley Cyrus. And by like, I mean I know a song or two.

I initially liked the first High School Musical movie, but that was short lived once I realized the world of junior high was crazily obsessed. On Monday night, I was in Times Square and the Jonas Brothers were apparently there. It looked like fucking Beatlemania. It was horrifying. Police were barricading little 12 year old girls like cattle. It was so creepy.

Aw, I hate Chelsea Lately. I watched it once and she was saying that no other British people should go over to America (related to Posh & Becks, I believe) which kind of offended me.
But yeah, on the Disney thing, I agree. High School Musical has now ventured out of the Disney Channel and into the big screen. Frightening.
- Chelsea
COMPLETELY AGREE!
I cannot stand this people. If you’re out of high school…why are you watching high school musical? How can you even relate? I don’t get it.
I am so indifferent to all those “teen stars” I really don’t even know who they are. What are they like 12? I’ve heard some of their songs, thanks to my 13 year old cousin, and they also lack talent…so really…I don’t see the big deal.
I love Chelsea…she’s hilarious.

Amen to that! I’m so tired of hearing about people who are half my age. Everywhere you freaking turn disney things are at. And it’s not like they’re going to be around 10 years from now.
JTT anyone? Yeah haven’t heard anything about him in years I’ll bet.
- Ashley
YES!! And besides, can drama get any better than Gossip Girl?
- Polly
ASHLEYYYY hey I disappeared for a while there…
anywho.. yeah. WTF is up with Hannah Montana and Highschool Musical being so popular?! I mean, I can understand with junior high kids, but I’m talking about some of my girlfriends… it’s honestly so lame!
- Cher
You’re even thinking about HSM? Young lady, go into the wash room and wash your brain out with soap THIS INSTANT!
In defense of my obsession with older Disney movies, I literally grew up watching The Little Mermaid, Lion King, Sword In The Stone, Toy Story, Pocahontas, etc., so I pop those in whenever I get a chance.
And Pixar’s involvement with any project negates it’s “Kids Only” status (Case In Point: Finding Nemo. Great flick)
But as far as 17 year olds flocking to the local Wal-Mart to get the latest sweat-shop made, badly screen printed, going-to-fall-apart-in-a-week HSM messenger bags? Yeah, fuckin’ ridiculous.
And Gossip Girls being less cheesy than Disney MfTV movies? That’s debatable.
And collecting posters of Miley Cyrus… funny story about that. I work with a guy who is notorious for going after girls 10 years younger than he is (the dude’s 26…), so we bought a bunch of stickers and turned his locker into a Hannah Montana shrine. We sniggered all day about that one..

My sister is into all of that, and she is 18 years old. The Jonahs brothers did a cover of a Beatle’s song and she told me to listen to it because it was better than the original.
Haha told her to fuck off and don’t compare disney trash to classic rock n roll.
- Belinda
I am sorry, but there is nothing wrong with Jonas Brothers. However I agree when it comes to HSM and stupid annoying teen stars. And Disney has gone downhill since the days of Lion King and Bambi.
I love Gossip Girl so much =D I can’t wait for the new season.
- Jane
*shudder* COMPLETELY AGREE. People are insane. The Jonas brothers sound whiny (and are fugly - they are NOT good-looking whatsoever), Miley Cyrus cannot sing, does not look good, and sounds like a dude sometimes, and HSM…ewww. Half these people cannot sing to save their lives (studio manufactured, anyone?) nor are they close to good-looking. You are not the next Justin Timberlake or even Britney Spears (Mickey Mouse club -> real fame).
But I love my Disney classics…basically any Disney movie from Tarzan and before is good to go and most of the Pixar stuff. But anything new is total crap these days

I think we’ve lost touch, yes?
