It is a sad state of affairs when Hannah Montana is the voice of reason. But Miley Cyrus and her ill-fitting veneers sat down with Movieline magazine to talk about why she ditched Twitter and most of the internet in general, and we have to admit, the little turkey makes sense when she rips into the tiny lives of the today’s youths, what with their duck-face self-portraits and their hash tags and their memes and such.
“I was kind of, like, tired of telling everyone what I’m doing,” Cyrus told Movieline. “I hate when I read things and celebrities are complaining like, ‘I have no personal life.’ I’m like, well, that’s because you write everything that you’re doing.”
Asked if the change has been for the better, Cyrus took a moment to consider, then said, “I’m a lot less on my phone, I’m a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends as opposed to friends who are on the internet who I’m talking to — which is like not cool, not safe, not fun and most likely not real. I think everything is just better when you’re not so wrapped up in [the internet].”
“I just think it’s kind of lame,” Cyrus continued. “I feel like I hang out with my friends and they’re so busy taking pictures of what they’re doing and putting them on Facebook that they’re not really enjoying what they’re doing. You’re going to look back and have a million pictures, but you’re not going to be in any of them. Because you’re not having fun, you’re too busy clicking away. So I think just enjoy the moment you’re in, and stop telling people about it. Just enjoy it.”
Does she realize she sounds like a mom when she says stuff like that?
“Yes, I do,” she answered, smiling. “I’m telling kids, don’t go on the internet, it’s dangerous, it’s not fun, it wastes your life, and you should be outside playing sports or something.”
So that explains the atomic bomb that recently hit our traffic and sent it to the sewer. Our readers are all Miley Cyrus fans, eschewing their CNW fix to make merry in a field with a kickball.
