Family Expects Hannah Montana, Gets "Gangster Rap"
It's that time of year again, folks. Time to experience moral outrage as wholesome families all over this nation find something inappropriate in their stockings.
Meet Jeremy Danielson:
The family bought a Disney channel CD that was supposed to have Hannah Montana playing on it. Instead they heard graphic gangster rap coming out of their radio.Are we sure it wasn't a Hannah Montana CD? Maybe she's expanding artistically. Or something. Don't judge her.
The artist on the CD, labeled Disney Channel Hits, shouts the "F" word and the "N" word. It's real explicit stuff that kids should not hear, especially in a gift delivered from Santa.
Danielson says, "We are a Christian family and we don't bring media like that into our house."

I'm always really skeptical when these stories crop up every so often. It just always seems that this involves some 'highly-principled' person who buys some sort of highly popular pop cd and is shocked and offended to find it contains something completely vile to their 'morals'. It's just a bit too convenient....
@ancientsociety:
I don't think it's even about being highly principled. I doubt most parents would let their kids (I assume they're young if they're listening to Hannah Montana) listen to gangsta rap. Why would they fake it? To get media attention?
@ancientsociety: I know! But maybe it's also because when this happens to someone who doesn't give a crap, they don't make a big deal about it and summon all news media to their house with their Moral Indignation BatSignal.
@DrGirlfriend: Look, there, in the sky! A giant X'd out penis sihlouetted against the clouds!
Someone's sheltered child has been exposed to the evils of pornography! To the RighteousCycle!
@ancientsociety: I think it's because if this happens to someone like, say, me, it never makes the news. I tell my friends and we have a laugh and go on with our lives.
I don't feel the need to approach the local Eyewitness On Your Side At 11 (Now With X-tra Sharks Attacks and Baseless Panic!) to express my Righteous Indignation about the State of the World, so you never hear about it.
@HaloZero: I more think they wanted a pulpit to shove their "Christian" beliefs on everyone else ("look at the EVUL Disney is feeding our children! Everyone who listens is going to hell!!!!!")
Awhile back, one of my friends bought a Dixie Chicks CD - new - with the wrapping and everything. The CD inside the case was branded Dixie Chicks, but in fact the actual music on the disc was Crazy Town - The Gift of Game. So in essence she bought one horrible CD and got another horrible CD instead.
I worked for a CD manufacturer at one time and this happened more often than you might think. Usually a disc or two (or 100 if a whole spindle is misidentified) will end up mislabeled and sent out. It is not often a problem, but we did have a few funny ones: a christian preacher's radio show CD actually contained speed metal. Some of the radio stations caught it but some played it without checking first. We also sent out a few copies of a software product that contained pornographic photo libraries instead... Oops!
That label just looks all wrong. No way that the Hannah Montana CD looks anything like that. I'm willing to bet that the buyer purchased the CD from a shady establishment... Say, a guy off the street. Or one of those people that hangs out in the subway tunnels with the sheet covered in CDs and DVDs.
It's not legit to begin with, but I'll bet Wal-Mart or another establishment gets the bad rap for this.
"We are a Christian family and we don't bring media like that into our house." Yes, and all non-Christians do bring that into their house.
This sounds just like when people throw in the fact an old person/sick person was totally screwed by a company as if it were OK to screw over a healthy young person.
@catnapped: @ColoradoShark: I would agree with both of you. I knew a guy I used to work with who would do stuff like that. He would buy some of the softcore porn that BB sold then replace it with a christian movie on dvd and make a new label to stick on it to match the old movie. He actually owned a shrink wrap machine so he would then either return it or just drop it back on the shelf. Funny that he would never tell me what he did with the beach blanket busty cops dvd that was in the orig. package.
Coloradoshark- well I am non-christian and I bring porn and cd's with naughty words on it into my house. Maybe they are just talkin about me?
@ancientsociety: Maybe because no one else in their right mind would admit to buying a Hannah Montana CD (or something like it) without the excuse of "Oh no, it's for someone else! It's not mine!"
And seriously..is that just cut out paper taped on the CD, which came in one of those jewel cases? Cuz based on that picture, that's what I'm thinking..
You know, sometimes it happens. There are screwups at the duplication centers. One time I got a CD from one of those music clubs (I was 15 at the time). It was supposed to be Eddie Money's Greatest Hits. The packaging was correct, the label on the disc itself was right, but the music was REO Speedwagon.
I was morally outraged, myself.
For once I get to Christian bash. "We are a Christian family and we don't bring media like that into our house." What a sanctimonious prick.
If you were a "real" Christian you would have listened to the album before your snowflake did. How dare you think Disney the people that promote Gay Days at their parks would protect you.[/sarcasm]
Seriously, why did this even make the news? Take the thing back to the record store where you bought it and tell the clerk you need to exchange it because someone messed up and put cRap music on the CD. Have a laugh about it and get snowflake her CD.
To reiterate if you are concerned about the media that reaches your kids (and you should be) watch, read or listen to it before they get their hands on it. If I can suffer through Hanna Montana, you can too.
A Disney brat's CD is done wrong and is some rap CD, and it's news. But my father gets that when he thought it was the Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack...oh, not news. I thought I was getting Requiem for a Dream, but no, some motivational/MLM DVD. Not news.
If I bought a Hanna Montana CD at all, that might be news.
It happens. You return it, ask for an exchange, and get on with your life. Or, maybe just throw it away, as that CD looks like a sho nuff pirated disc, to me.
@HaloZero: That's EXACTLY why people do stuff like that. For media attention for themselves and their cause. Not that this was necessarily the case here.
@cde: If they don't listen to gangsta rap, how do they know its gangsta rap?
They heard black people and it was not Gospel.
@trollkiller: LOL. & I agree with most of you, just take the dang thing back. No biggie here. It's not like their precious snowflakes aren't going to be exposed to that crap later on in life. Just quietly explain to them that there was a mixup at Santa's Factory & those words are bad words. End of story. Take the cd back & get your Hannah Montana.
@cde: I don't listen to rap either so I couldn't tell one type from the other. Maybe they think all rap is gangsta because thats the only kind they talk about in the news?




























I got something in my stocking for you... woah.
