Miley is Having None of It
Even though she is basically smack in the middle of its demographic of idiotic teenage girls, earlier this week Miley Cyrus told a radio station DJ that she wants nothing to do with that sparkly vampire bullcrap. Huh. I never thought I would actually have anything in common with Miley Cyrus and to be honest that scares me a little.
"I've never seen it and nor will I ever," Cyrus, 16, said recently during an interview with Cleveland radio station Q92.
"I don't believe in it," she says. "I don't like vampires. ... I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it." (Source)
So when she says she doesn't "believe" in Twilight, I wonder if she means that she doesn't believe in vampires and werewolves in the fictional sense like the Tooth Fairy or Hannah Montana -- or she doesn't believe in it like you don't believe in bigotry or evil or Miley Cyrus. But I assume Miley is probably also like me in that doesn't believe in Twilight both in the fictional Hannah Montana way and in the hateful Miley Cyrus way.
I reckon she has no interest in it because it clashes with her deeply held moral and religious beliefs.
Who care's if she watch or not lol....
It's probably all about revenues from merchandising licensing fees. Twilight crap competes with Hannah Montana crap. If you don't buy a "Team Edward" shirt, you have that much more left on your $50 Target gift card to buy more sparkly purple and pink plastic/satin/lycra stuff emblazed with Miley's face.
I, too, bought a couple of Amazon gift cards for Christmas gifts and the recipients were thrilled. The difference was that i bought them from a gift card kiosk at a local grocery store. The store personnel activated them in front of me so there were no glitches or shipping delays/charges. I just lucked out - it never would have occurred to me to check reviews on gift cards from Amazon. I just stopped to look at the gift card display in the store and was pleasantly surprised to find Amazon cards as one of the choices. It's ironic that the whole joy of the Amazon shipping experience for me is the online ease and fast, efficient delivery and that's the very thing that caused so much frustration for so many people this holiday. Now, I'm inclined to wonder about some of their electronic systems. I hope they work out their problems..
I purchased several gift cards in various amounts. It was an easy purchase for me, requiring just a couple of clicks. Those who received them were all thrilled as they could select to purchas books or any of the item you carry. I will be a returning customer of gift cards.
