ABC Yanks Ads from Perez Hilton, Blogger Responds to Miley Cyrus Photo Scandal
Acting maturely for a change, Miley Cyrus has chosen to pretty much blow off this week's Perez Hilton photo scandal.
Her simple response to that blogger Tweeting an upskirt picture of her on Tuesday? He's just an idiot.
But ABC has reacted to Hilton's idiotic move in a harsher way, hitting the loser where it counts: in the wallet. The network has removed a banner ad for The View from Perezhilton.com.
Said a source close to the situation:
"It's not a matter of whether you like [Perez Hilton] or not, it has to do with the morality of the issue. Miley is a minor, period. There are ethics involved in running an ad on a site that potentially violated the rights of a minor, and that is what the conversation is about at the network level."
That makes sense to us, but not to Perez, of course.
He's followed up his insincere apology to Miley and the public with this statement:
"I find it odd that an advertiser would choose to pull an ad off my site because the photo in question, which was not pornographic and showed a fully clothed Miley Cyrus, was not posted on my website or even linked from my site."
How will each side move on? Perez will continue to enjoy the free publicity this scandal has allotted him, addressing it tonight on The Joy Behar Show.
Cyrus, meanwhile, will perform a duet with Bret Michaels on Good Morning America tomorrow.
Who would have thought a 17-year old would be the mature one in this feud? And who would have thought we'd ever take Miley's side in anything? That seems to be the silver lining when it comes to Perez Hilton at least:
His utter douche baggery can bring people together in mutual hatred.

Perez is truly an idiot. Miley is truly an idiot too for not wearing underwear at a photo-op, if that is indeed the case. She was not on stage in a costume, apparently, she was getting out of a car in front of paparazzi.

WOW, THG defending Miley?? if it's not the end of the world than it must be the begining of the change of a hater!! (just kidding @Hilton Hater)
@Lido, as for your comment, even though miley was a role model to many young girls because of her publicity from HANNAH MONTANTA, and i bet she still is, it's not her job to tell kids the difference between right or wrong, it's not her job to tell kids how to dress, it's their parents job.
The parents should explain to their kids that miley is doing it because she's a performer, because it's an act and nothing more, because when she's walking the steet everyday she doesn't wear the clothes she does when on stage.
And what exactley do you mean by "Parents protect your kids"? Miley is not the horrible person you try to make her look like, she has done many amazing things in her life, things that if other teenagers would have done, then, well the world would have been a better place to live in.
You don't know miley personally so just stop try

This story makes no sense to me... Considering Cyrus in her latest tour, has been extremely provocative, and once again as a reminder, she is 17... so, her showcasing herself in that matter looks ok for young girls to look up to that image? Folks, wake up... she is putting a very bad image herself already. That girl is scandalous and I would hope young women can respect themselves before looking at a girl like that - in my opinion, she has no poise and certainly no class. Hilton wisen up. She may be flaunty, however, don't go down that road.... her throwing crotch in my face has no originality.... there is no more originality. Parents protect your kids!
