Apparently, Destiny Hope Cyrus Is What's Wrong With America

For the record, the topic of Miley Cyrus is one I am largely apathetic about, and I accept that the Academy Awards are at least 40% bullshit during any given year; however, I had to repost this MSN article because it is so rare that I find any bit of wisdom in anything written by the mainstream press. It's also refreshing to see an article

That article is great! I'm going to have to read it twice to fully enjoy it's goodness.

Miley reportedly went to a "purity ball" with her dad. Girls who attend these events pledge their virginity to their fathers, which seems deeply creepy, but maybe that's just because I read "Oedipus Rex" when I was in high school.

I fucking hate "purity balls". It's right back to the old canard - a girl's only value lies in her Blessed Golden Hymen.

No problem - I totally recognized it as you when I was checking the comment from my Hotmail. ;P

Really, I pretty much see the hymen as a "one-time only token of affection" to be given to just the right person at just the right time. But I'd be damned if my worth as a human being was hinged upon whether or not I am a token-bearer! o.0
