MrsMe Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If I see any more Hannah Montana junk in the stores I'm gonna spit! Everywhere I go, everywhere I turn, every piece of clothing or toy or food! Yuck, yuck, yuck! She's a horrible role model. At 15 her favorite show is "Sex in the City", she poses nude, then half nude w/her dad (wierd)...This makes me sick. She's shoved down everyone's throat. If I were starving I wouldn't buy a sucker with her face on it. There. I feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellifera Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My daughter hates her stuff. It's amusing to see her reaction to it when we walk through a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat19 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My dd used to like all that stuff, but now she doesn't seem to care about it(which is fine by me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) Everywhere I go, everywhere I turn, every piece of clothing or toy or food! Food?!

Mommyof4ks Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 :iagree: My DD has alot of friends that are really obsessed with her, but so far she has not become that way. Wendy - Mommy of 3 munchkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were starving I wouldn't buy a sucker with her face on it. There. I feel better. Not really a rant but my dh made a funny comment about Hannah Montana merchandise. We were shopping for school supplies at Wal-Mart. Dh looked around and said, "Apparently only girls do school work". EVERYTHING from crayons to protractors was Hannah Montanna colored. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) I couldn't agree with you more!!! Ick! Yuck! Ptooey! Fortunately, dd can't stand her either. We have a little inside joke for whenever we see HM merchandise: Whoever sees the item first says, "Don't look now, but there she is again! She's following you!" With any luck, dd's disdain for HM and smoking will be lifelong habits!:D -Robin Edited November 13, 2008 by flutistmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 One of the only places I've ever seen (noticed, perhaps I should say) the name Hannah Montana is on this forum. I couldn't tell you what she looks like. One of the joys of avoiding much of the mainstream when shopping is avoiding the in-your-face advertising like you've mentioned. Maybe you can try some other shops?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texascamps Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My daughter already knows Hannah is off limits because she is "inappropriate". In addition, we don't by ANYTHING that says GAP, TOMMY, POLO, or HANNAH, etc., because like I tell them, "Are they paying you to advertise their product?" "Uhhhhhh, No." Our clothes are not for advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Just about all of dds' friends are sick of Hannah Montana being shoved at them. They make fun of the merchandise. Based on their reaction, I wonder who's buying the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akmommy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm right there with you. While doing our back to school shopping this fall I was hoping to find some cute fun supplies for the DC's but they only thing outside the plain and ordinary was Hannah Montana. UGH! In addition, we don't by ANYTHING that says GAP, TOMMY, POLO, or HANNAH, etc., because like I tell them, "Are they paying you to advertise their product?" "Uhhhhhh, No." Our clothes are not for advertising. :iagree:We have the same attitude here. I don't pay good money for clothes to advertise brand names.

MrsMe Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Food?! Where do you shop that you find movie characters on your food? Ick. :lol: It's on candy! Like stocking stuffers and halloween candy. Ugh...I haven't checked the fruit roll-ups isle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMe Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 Really? Nude? I didn't know that. I'd heard about some 'risque' photos, but nude? Wow! Even without knowing that, I totally agree with you. I am so sick and tired of Hannah Montana. Janet Okay, with only a sheet in Vogue magazine. Just to clarify, I don't read or buy Vogue. The picture was all over the news and her father didn't care. Let me also say I have never seen a show, nor do I or will I.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well, I feel like venting myself for feeling the same way about Rachel Ray. I know, I know, she is cute as a bug...but honestly, she annoys me to death! We were on the grocery cracker aisle and there was her face, plastered on every. single. box. all the way down the row. We turned the corner and there she was again, on huge bottles of olive oil. At the checkout there she was again on magazine covers. I need her to go cook quietly somewhere, far, far away.

teamturner Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I was really irked when I saw Hannah Montana stuff at Mardel here in the Dallas area, which is a Christian bookstore primarily but also a teacher supply/homeschool curriculum store. What??? :confused: Really????? uummmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathmom Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We have never seen the show, and my dds make fun of all the stuff HM related in the stores. It drives them crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsdash Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Marketing. It's all about marketing and that's what I stress to my kids all the time. These are adults marketing everything and anything they can to make money off of kids. We live in a world where everything can be put out there - like a teenage girls face on our food. crazy.

SquirrellyMama Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I can't stand Hannah Montana. My dh says it's because she's blonde and I have an issue with blondes :glare: That's a whole other story. My dh bought some HM candy at Walmart after Halloween for 5 cents a bag. I made sure to open the candy before I gave it to the kids so they weren't looking at HM. Can't stand her. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgilli3 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Ahhh, The pleasure of living overseas. Tell me again who is this Hannah Montana:-) Although we are OS, we still have HM merchandise here- and Im OK with that. I enjoy the show ( oh- as do the kids) There isnt a huge amount of merchandise to choose from, but Im actually happy to buy it. As for the pics with her dad- I never saw anything weird in it- and nor did my kids, they thought they were nice pics with her dad. Adults tend to sexualize these situations and see things in other ways....I personally thought they were OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 The other biggie I've been seeing is High School Musical. Ugh. My dd justs looks at the stuff and rolls her eyes. Of course, I don't allow her to watch any of the teenage-geared shows at all. She knows it and she knows exactly why. My dh's great-nieces (5yo) have both requested stuff from both HM & HSM for Christmas. We have absolutely refused to do it and told them to give us other choices. The parents are actually having fits. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell you what she looks like. One of the joys of avoiding much of the mainstream when shopping is avoiding the in-your-face advertising like you've mentioned. Maybe you can try some other shops?:) It's not as easy here to avoid it by avoiding mainstream shopping. For example, my dd went to the dentist yesterday and got 4 HM stickers from the receptionist on the way out. Her best friend is having a HM birthday theme party for her 5th b-day. My dd has never seen the show or heard her sing but if you ask her, she "loves Hanhah Montana". :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
