Will Miley Cyrus’s Racist Indiscretions Keep Her From Awards Glory?

Kidding! It’s rhetorical! Clearly it’s not such a slow news day that we would actually contrive to ask that question, right? Right. But someone would — you get one guess who.

Take it away, Tom O’Neil:

Miley Cyrus has posed for another photo that could cost her a repeat win at the upcoming Kids’ Choice Awards. As Reuters reports: “Disney teen idol Miley Cyrus has been accused of taunting and mocking Asians by making slant-eye poses in a personal photograph with her friends.”

Miley Cyrus is sure to compete at the Kids’ Choice Awards on March 29 in the category of favourite TV actress. After all, she has won that award the past two years running for her starring role in Hannah Montana. However, the winners of these awards — handed out by kids’ cablecaster Nickelodeon — are determined by the votes of millions of tykes.

What do you mean, “however”? We all know how discriminating the Kids’ Choice lobby is; this is like Mickey Rourke’s purported gay slurs and Anne Hathaway’s Bride Wars fall from grace combined, distilled to their essence and brought to a hardware-melting boil. Awards season is ruined. We quit. Thanks for nothing, O’Neil.
