Okay, to get political and serious here for a sec, this is part of what needs addressing in the whole American (and perhaps beyond) social fabric.
She got out of flipping burgers, yeah, okay. But have you heard her actually sing live? She does all right, but I know people with WAY WAY WAY more raw talent whose opportunity to express it doesn't stretch any further than their church choir. REALLY. If she wasn't Billy Ray's daughter, she'd be nobody. She got out of flipping burgers by the random fluke of who her father is. REALLY. That's the whole story with Miley. The sperm that conceived her came from a famous guy's balls, now she gets to take over Disneyland for her birthday and will be a billionaire by 18.
I'm not grousing about fairness--I'm sure she's a hard working performer, and I'm not even talking about whether she deserves what she's got or not. But you just can't ignore the inequality of opportunity she represents.
Enough of my curmudgeondom. I now return you to your discussion of cake and ice cream.
