Consumer Reports Unhappy with Hannah Montana Film’s Lack of Seatbelt Use
If you happened to see the new movie “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” you might have noticed that Miley Cyrus failed to buckle up in the back seat of the Range Rover she was riding in. Or maybe you didn’t notice.
Consumer Reports, however, took notice and is blasting Miley Cyrus for failing to buckle up.
According to a blog post on Monday, Consumer Reports magazine says,
“The movie is the 3-D Disney concert film “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” which is based on Miley Cyrus’ TV show and has made more than $50 million in less than two weeks. It seems to us that Miley, her father and Disney had a perfect opportunity to help influence teens and counteract — rather than encourage — this trend.”
Overall, they felt the 15-year-old and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, were sending the wrong message about seat belt usage.
The lack of backseat buckling is certainly a problem — according to the magazine, 65 percent of the 13- to 15-year-olds killed in auto accidents in 2006 were not wearing seat belts.

what’s the big deal? yea she forgot to buckle up on a video clip, but she’s had enough tarnish! stop doing this to the poor 15 year old, she’s learned her lesson and she’s sorry for it… she’s a very possitive romodel for children… she slipped up once, no need to make her feel like she’s commited murder or something!

This story reminds me a lot of the Ozzy Osbourne flap, you know where he was supposedly responsible for a teens suicide because of his suggestive lyrics. For that matter you can equate it to the ongoing steroid witch hunt in baseball, sort of.
Just as with Ozzy, aren’t there a few individuals with far more culpability in the matter: writers, directors, producers, and the theaters? I mean really, don’t they have the final say as to what makes it to the public.
The comparison stands to reason that if you think it’s a crime that sports figures make huge bank and are doping, take a look at the managers, owners, and huge corporate sponsors who trust me “know exactly what the hell is going on”. They are making far more cash off you (well maybe not the managers). Don’t they have some obligation to maintain the “integrity of the game”?
Its all entertainment, sports or otherwise. Perhaps the real issue is that parents need to explain what a real role model is. It isn’t Miley/Hanna, Roger or Berry.
Quit picking on her, she will have enough problems in a couple of years when they (managers, producers, handlers, agents, record labels, etc.) decide its time to sex up the act. Trust me its coming!!!!
