need tweensex? ask disney

so if you have read the newspaper lately (specifically, the "very important things happening now" section), you may have heard that people magazine is claiming that some 15-year-old disney phenom should "apologize" for the photos of her that will appear in this month's vanity fair.
disney, for its part, is outraged at what they are calling "a situation [that] was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines.”

god, it's hard to believe that anyone would manipulate someone just to sell a few magazines. that would almost suggest that everything in the media is driven by money or something! i mean, come on! everyone knows vanity fair has only the prurient cultural interests of the public in mind and wants the best for all of us, even if it means not making some easy money by applying the well-know formula {15 year old back exposed} + {billion dollar product line} * {well-entrenched american sexual tension dating back to puritans) = $$$


and disney, of course, is right to be outraged! they would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS allow themselves to be associated with something of this nature, right? i mean, it goes against everything they are trying to do as the world's premiere purveyor of anthropomorphic rodent paraphernalia! unless, of course, you are in china:
