I may not like the concept of manufactured teen stars in the US but we have nothing on Japan.
Hehe, isn't Disney part of Viacom...

I'm just hoping we'll have a few years with the Japanese-based sexbots before that happens.
What if we're killed off BY the sexbots.

In Japan the sexbots *ARE* the killer robots. (Warning: what has been seen cannot be unseen.)

Ok, really, the caps thing applies to emoticons too?

Well hopefully the "good/evil switch" on their backs will start off on the "good" setting.

I got to ask. And this isn't directed so much at the guy I'm replying to, as much as it is a general question, cause, I'm honestly curious. Why the Justin Beiber hate? I've never heard his music, granted, but, even if he royaly sucks, why so much hate? It's... all over the place, and nasty at times. Even worse then the Joneas brothers, which, I didn't get either.

And why does it seem to mainly be the young guys who get beat on. I haven't seen the same level of hate for girl pop stars, heck, even BillyRays girl doesn't get as much hate as the boys do, and she's about the ONLY female young pop star i've ever seen picked on out there in the interwebs. (granted, i don't really go looking, i just stumble appone it.)

And I'm just wondering... why?

Actually, Miley Cyrus does get a lot of hate, but that has died down (and been somewhat replaced by disdain over her trying to sexualize herself) now that people have moved onto the Biebs.

As to why? It's because stars like Cyrus and Bieber aren't made, they are foisted upon the audience and sold like products. While they may or may not have talent, their existance isn't to show that talent but to sell records, concerts, and anything with their name on it. They are basically commercialized products, and much more so than ones in the past, because it has become more obvious and crass.

I don't hate Bieber or Cyrus, I find their fame amusing. But I can see why people hate upon them.

Jealousy plays into it, as well. If Bieber was around when I was an adolescent, I would've hated his guts for having all those screaming fangirls fawning over his every move.

In my tween years it was David Cassidy that made all the young girls swoon.

As for Ms Cyrus she did come from a musical family, got into acting when she was young and the part of Hanna Montana seemed perfect for her but it wasn't created for her. It's success and tie in marketing made her outrageously popular but like other young Disney divas such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera of The Mickey Mouse Club a generation before, her transition from child star/role model to young adult has become tabloid material due to the more adult nature of her music, choreography and stage wardrobe.

Cyrus did get alot, but, IMO, alot of that to me seemed self inflected, in her effort as you say to sexualize herself. I hope the little thing can get her head on stright before she pulls a Spears or Lohan. I know alot of people enjoy watching them self distruct, but I'm not one of them.

The boys, just seem to have targets on there backs and for as far as i can tell, no real reason for it. *shrug* Just found it odd, but when i think back really hard, i tend to remember a boy band called the New Kids on the Block.. and i'm pretty sure i made fun of them hard back in the day... mainly to get a rise out of my sister and Ant.

There was a lot of comedic bits aimed at Cyrus before her recent surge towards sexuality. The Soup, for example, had a hilarious segment called "It's Miley!" At that point though, she was a tad more of a target than Hillary Duff that last big Disney TV star who was trying to make it. In recent times though her sexuality and her faux pas have driven the derision up.

She did say a lot of stupid stuff before her current sexualized phase that drove the humor (her Twitter account was full of ridiculous stuff people picked up on, she said she never heard a Jay-Z song before while she sings that she loves Jay-Z, etc.)

I remember them soup clips now that you mention it! Heh. I catch that show so randomly. I don't really actively WATCH tv anymore. It's kind of on in the background while i tinker on my computer. Other family member flip from time to time, so, when i see it, and they stop to watch it, i watch it. It's always funny.

Must of the "hate" I'm talking about stems from internet stuff, like the Demotivation and Comixed web sites i frequent at work on brakes, for a quick laugh. You know, that Meme (is that the correct term?) stuff. I don't really do "twitter" stuff. I never saw the point. And of course random hate postings on message boards, (not here so much anymore since the crackdown.)
