Shockingly Phallic Hannah Montana Candy

It’s pretty astounding that Disney had the nerve to blast Annie Leibovitz for sexualizing Miley Cyrus in those Vanity Fair photos. Not that I’m any fan of taking photos of topless 15-year-olds and calling them art, but this, I gotta say, is far worse.

Unless the marketing people who came up with this candy are blind robots, they had to be perfectly aware of what it looks like Miley is about to do to that gummy guitar. They even felt the need to explain what the shapes are on the package, lest people confuse them with something inappropriate, like a phallus.

Well, I’m pretty sure the “microphone” shapes are not going to help matters any.
