Is "Black Mirror's" Ashley O. Also Hannah Montana?

Netflix's original series Black Mirror just released its fifth season on their streaming service. If you aren't familiar with the series it is a look at the advantages and disadvantages that advances in technology can have in our near future.

One of the episodes from the newest season features talented actress and singer Miley Cyrus. She plays a character named Ashley O that is a very famous pop singer that wears a bright pink wig and is always spreading messages of positivity. Her character feels as if she is having to play this perfect role that isn't genuinely her.

If you are a Hannah Montana fan you might already be seeing the similarities between these two characters.

In Disney Channel's Hannah Montana we see Miley having to live a double life as a normal teenager and a rockstar. She wears a blonde wig when she plays this Hannah Montana character.

Both characters have to play a role in which they feel isn't their genuine selves. They also both wear wigs that conceal who they really are or their true identity. In real life after Hannah Montana, we saw the actual Miley Cyrus go down this rabbit hole of discovering who she really is and breaking this little miss perfect Disney mold. In this episode, we see Ashley O do the same thing as she starts trying to break away from this always perfect character and start to embrace her dark side. By the end of the show, we see she has fully embraced her dark side as the new and improved Ashley Fucking O.

I believe that the producers were trying to make an obvious nod to her previous role as Hannah Montana in this episode.

But are they the exact same character? We can see several similarities, but I guess we will never know.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
