I don’t necessarily care that Miley Cyrus smokes pot. (Or Salvia)

But I do care that one of her idiot friends thought it was a good idea to capture the moment on their camera-phone and somehow leak said moment onto the internet for all the world to see.

When I was a kid, I looked up to Huey Lewis and The News. Yes, when I was 8 or 9 years old, Huey Lewis was my Miley Cyrus/Hanna Montana.

And today, my 8 year old daughter absolutely LOVES Miley/Hanna.

Now, the likelihood of my kid seeing this video of Miley doing bong hits (regardless of what she was smoking) is slim-to-none.

But maybe sometime when she’s ten or eleven or twelve, some kid will bring up the fact that Hanna Montana does bong hits. And my train of thinking says that- because she virtually emulates every move Hanna Montana makes, why wouldn’t she think about doing a bong hit – just like Miley?

Sure, we can’t guard our kids from every bad person or incident which occurs, but the kid-stars of today have a responsibility to act appropriately when their actions have the potential to make it onto the internet.

I have this very same argument with my little sister who is 19 and a sophomore in college – you see, it’s not that I didn’t drink beer when I was 18 or 19 years old…I did (and lots of it). The difference is that when I was drinking beer at 18, I wasn’t also posting pictures of myself engaged in an illegal activity on the internet for all the world to see until the end of time.

Certainly, values have changed some since 1994. But I don’t think you can argue with my disappointment at the fact that the biggest kid-star of this generation is now viewable partaking in drug use for all the world to see until the end of time.

I’ll be crossing Hanna Montana gear off of the Christmas list this year.
