Los Angeles (E! Online) - It may not be Disney's first choice of sponsor for their brightest—albeit increasingly antsy—teen star, but teaming Miley Cyrus with a condom manufacturer may not be as ridiculous a notion as it might have been, say, six months ago.

In a shameless publicity grab (and yes, we bit), LifeStyles Condoms has offered the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star $1 million to become the newest purveyor of prophylactics and to become the company spokeswomangirl.

While Cyrus has vowed to save herself for marriage, the company says the young star should never say never.

Pointing to a certain fellow tween queen (cough, Jamie Lynn Spears, cough), LifeStyles claims that, should Cyrus choose to get into bed with them, so to speak, she may enjoy a less dysfunctional future.

"Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex," says the company's VP of marketing, Carol Carrozza. "We believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set—and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America."

Team Cyrus, however, doesn't seem so smitten with the proposal. "We never received an offer, nor would she consider the offer," her rep tells E! News.

But LifeStyles isn't giving up easily. The condom dispenser is willing to sweeten the deal: When she comes of legal age, the company is prepared to offer Cyrus a lifetime supply of condoms.

I'm highly disturbed by this as well as mildly amused. When did it become okay to try and get a 15 year old to sell condoms?

I suppose the better question would be, when did it become okay for 15 year olds to have sex?

I cannot dismiss this idea out of hand, though it does sadden me that perhaps the safest and most morally responsible course of action would be to market condoms to those under the age of majority.

Ugh... western society, gotta love it, eh?

Great point. I lost it at 15 and it was the dumbest thing I could have done. But look at the role models girls have today. Jamie-Lynn Spears is 16 just had a baby and is planning her shot-gun wedding.

...this a trick question?

Answer: A few thousand years ago.

Even in modern times if I or any of these other girls on DGN were living in places like the middle east...you best bet we would have been married, most likely against our will, to some old guy when we were still in our teens and I being 23 would have most likely had 4-5 kids by now.

Enforces the old saying that there's nothing new under the sun.

I'd rather have my kid wear some armor when going into bedroom battle than turn up with HIV or even worse...BABIES. If it takes another 15 year old to be able to reach out to them, since teens listen to other teens, then so be it.

15 year olds are going to have sex whether we market condoms to them or not. Especially the ones with no sexual education. I'd rather we try and educate them.

As for Miley Cyrus vowing to save herself for marriage...pssshhh, anyone wanna place bets?

Did they specify that it was her own marriage? I mean maybe she is just waiting for another one and then she is going to give herself.... who knows
