The company LifeStyles Condoms is testing a new marketing ploy, or possibly a new marketing flub.  New York Daily News reported this past weekend that 15-year-old Miley Cyrus is being sought after by the condom company to represent them and help promote safe sex among America's youth.  The deal is reported to be a 1 million dollar offer.

"Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex," the company's VP of marketing, Carol Carrozza told the NYC paper. "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."

The Hannah Montana star has publicly stated she plans on waiting until she is married to have sex.

Reps from Cyrus' camp said the offer had not been formally conveyed, and that it would not be considered.

The young Cyrus is enjoying a second turn at the top spot with her new album Breakout, which hit number one on the U.S. Album chart, selling 371,000 last weekend.
