miley cyrus is a bad celebrity influence

We're not big fans of Miley Cyrus around here. It's no secret. Sure, the Disney Channel-bred megastar is only 16-years-old, but she's done a few pretty stupid things. So yeah, I don't think too highly of her. But hey, I've never really been part of her targeted fan base, right?

This isn't directly Asian American-related, but it does please me to share the news that according to an online poll, Miley Cyrus has been voted the worst celebrity influence of 2009: Miley Cyrus voted worst celebrity influence of 2009.

Miley took 42 percent of votes in the poll for AOL's JSYK.com website aimed at 9-15 year olds, in a section on the worst celebrity influences of the year. She beat out both Britney Spears and Kanye West! That's bad.

Like I said, it's not a big deal, but I'll admit -- it kind of made me happy. The Reuters article mentions that she hasn't been having a great year, between controversially dating a 20-year-old model, pole dancing on a teen awards show, and of course, the infamous slant-eyed photo. It's official: you're a bad influence, Miley!
