9. Cameo On Hannah Montana
Noble of this lying, cross-dressing, lunatic to promote reading. Seriously. Learning to read is one of those things kids should definitely do, and should definitely start doing by the age of two or three. Not to be dismissive of those who are late bloomers, but if John Cena has to beat the shit out of a high school student to teach him how to read, it’s far more likely the kid is going to end up with a career as a meat-head wrestler, than as a scholar from Oxford.
If one actually watches the ridiculous clip where John Cena emerges from a magazine (which the kid is already reading) into the kid’s house, proceeding to throw him around like a rag doll, one might notice that, as just mentioned…the kid is already reading! The fact that the kid doesn’t want to read a book for school says nothing about his ability to read.
So what is actually being promoted here? Pay attention in school or you’ll get beat up? Usually it’s the paying attention in school that seems to get kids beat up (but do pay attention in school kids!). So ultimately, Cena breaks into a kid’s house, on a Disney kid’s show no less, to assault him like every other bully at school. Great life lessons.
