How can a 53 year-old Miley Cyrus fan get any creepier? By stalking her with great enthusiasm and claiming to be engaged to her. So, job well done.

A 53-year-old man who told police he is secretly engaged to marry Miley Cyrus has been charged with attempting to stalk the
teenage “Hannah Montana” star, who is filming a movie in Georgia.

Tybee Island Police Chief Jim Price said Wednesday that Mark
McLeod, 53, of Appling was arrested after Walt Disney Pictures
security officers reported he had returned to the beachside movie
set Sunday after police warned him to stay away in June.

“He was asking for Miley and going up and knocking on some
doors” of beach homes near the set, Price said. “The security
guards recognized him. In fact, he went up to the security guards
and asked them ‘Is Miley around?”‘

In March, the New York Daily news shot video of McLeod waiting
in line at a book-signing appearance by Cyrus in Manhattan. “Hold
me up. I’m a little bit nervous,” said McLeod, shivering in a heavy
coat and wool hat.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever, uh, actually been face to face
with her,” McLeod told the newspaper. “I talk to her a lot but it’s
kind of like I talk and she responds with pictures. It’s just the
way we communicate. I’m going to get her some flowers and I’m going
to ask her to marry me.”

I don’t want to generalize too much, but anyone who’ll wait in line for an autograph or a picture who isn’t under 15 years old probably has some sort of social defect. I just don’t get what meeting the celebrity du jour is going to do to really impact your life in any meaningful way. Wow, I smelled Miley Cyrus’s surprisingly odorous armpits, whoop dee doo, let’s throw a parade.

But yeah when you’re a 53 year-old guy and your fixation is some teenage pop star, I don’t think there’s a whole lot of hope for you. In fact, I’d be surprised there weren’t some young boys at a Hannah Montana concert who found their way to a watery grave because, hey Mark McLeod is a reasonable man…until you mess with his special lady who has no clue he exists except when he imagines photos talking to him. No poet could capture a love so beautiful.
