I have fond memories of the Disney channel. Oh yes, I remember those long days when I would sit enthusiastically in front of the TV screen watching Lizzie Mcguire, So Weird, and The Jersey wishing I could be as cool as the girls or find a boy as dreamy as the ones on the screen. It's 2011 now and even though I'm all grown up I still look back and smile at how awesome the Disney Channel used to be. And the only reason why I smile when I look BACK is because the Disney Channel hasn't given me much to smile about recently. They've lost their touch. Their bright new idea is the publicizing of the purity ring. All the cool Disney kids are wearing one! YEAH! *group jump into the air* Want to look like your favorite Disney star? Buy a purity ring! OH MY GOD LETS GO BUY SOME NOW! Look, I have nothing against purity rings, they symbolize a beautiful religious message that people of the Christian faith hold very dear to their hearts. Which is exactly why it bothers me so much that Disney is continuously pushing the fact that their teen-bop celebrities wear them. You are using religious symbols for profit gain! Nobody believes that it's a random coincidence that almost every Disney Channel star is photographed around town wearing a purity ring. Sorry Disney but those of us who do catch on to those kinds of things ARE CATCHING ON. It's not like your broke DC so pray tell, why are you doing this? Is it to cover up the fact that a good chunk of your Disney girls have been caught photographed semi-naked? Either way Disney, using religion as your fall-back? That's a whole new level of desperation. Which brings me to my next point: your factory-made singers. It seems to me like every girl, LITERALLY EVERY GIRL, that shows up on your shows has a singing career now. This wouldn't come as such a shock or annoyance to me if half of them were actually good singers. I know you struck gold once or twice but now you've reached a new level of lunacy. Much like a little kid trying to photocopy a golden ticket in the frenzied attempt to get into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Why the need for factory-made singers? This doesn't even anger me, it just baffles me. Why Disney? Why? Porque? Pourquoi? Warum? Perche? Yes that's right, I just asked WHY in five different languages. That's how serious I am. I have my serious face on while I am typing.
