I'm under-reacting because I don't care some Disney created character showed her bare shoulders in a photo. If you say so.
Are you saying I should freak out every time some Hollywood starlet is less than angelic?
Oh, no! She went outside without her burka! A male not her husband saw her face!
I’m saying you can’t turn your back on this kind of stuff and then, in the same breath, ask what the heck has gone wrong with our kids. There are kids (CHILDREN), with skulls full-o-mush, waiting to be molded. They are being molded by a delusional Hollywood brand of ethics that no one seems to want to pay attention to. The Miley thing is not the point. It’s the larger message our entertainment industry as a whole aims to brainwash our kids with. They know mom and dad are out working while child is at home with a babysitter that doesn’t give one hoot about that child’s mind. I ask you the same I asked Christy, would you have your 15 year old daughter (if you had one) posing like this?

Actually her real self's name is Destiny and her name Miley comes from her nick name Smiley
She recently had her name officially changed to Miley Ray Cyrus. She was born Destiny Hope Cyrus.

has stripper written all over it
...and that kind of thinking right there is what this girl will have to fight her whole life. You have judged her because of her name - why?

To fully answer my half answered question, it would not have been something I would have done with my daughter. I'm still not shockeed or offended by those photos though. I've been more shocked by the little hooker outfits her friends have to wear for dance competitions and these girls are only 10. :shrug:

I'm not trying to make this out to be some competition as to what's more offensive in order to excuse what’s less offensive. This is less about what’s offensive and more about what message is being conveyed to our kids. I’m not particularly offended by the photos either. But I’m amazed at the double-standard you SEEM to hold that it’s just fine as long as it’s not your daughter. Please forgive me for being critical but when do we, as viewers/consumers of this Hollywood garbage stand up and say enough is enough? After Britany and Paris and now (potentially) Miley haven’t we have enough filth targeted at our kids?

It's always been that way. When the girls get into more advanced dancing the outfits get skimpier. It was that way 20 years ago when I was into all of that. But, I had no rhythm so I never advanced. I took baton.

I think you've got bigger problems as a parent if your kid is so easily molded by Hollywood celebrities. I've always found it a bit mind boggling that so many parents point the finger of blame outward when it comes to the failings of their children. Like it couldn't ever be their parenting skills, or hell, simply that your kid is a turd despite good parenting. Its always gotta be someone else's fault.
THAT right there is what I think is wrong with many kids today, parents aren't willing to own their own part in screwing up their kids, so why should a kid take any blame for their behavior either? It's easier on everyone to just blame it on Miley and her naked back.

I don't see it as a double standard, it is just not something that is a part of our lives. Who am I to wag my finger at how some celebrity family chooses to live theirs?
As a consumer, you can, at any time, say enough is enough. You show your disdain with your wallet. Don't buy their stuff. But also don't underestimate your kids intelligence. I have yet to find a single kid who thought Brittany and her lack of panties was even remotely cool and worthy of emulating. Paris has never been a blip on my kids radar, other than the fact that she is astounded at the fact that any human being can really be that retarded.
Miley is still a good kid, and the only ick factor my kid has with her was that she dated a Jonas Brother.

Now see, why does no one have problems with this, yet are horrified with Miley's back?
I just viewed one of the video loops on Miley Cyrus and the Vanity Fair photo layout to be presented in June.
I thought first of my 12 y/o niece, with whom I have a special bond. I thought about I would say to her if she asked why one of her favorites (or used to be) had to have more "grown-up" pictures taken and put in an adult magazine. Why this or why that?
But, then realizing who my inquisitor would be, she would probably have formed her own opinion and her question to me would be, "Have you seen VF? What do you think of.....?" "I don't think that she is old enough to have done this pose, but the others are really cool!" Or something to that effect.
Ms. Cyrus may be a minor and chronologically 15, but emotionally, she has far exceeded any expectations of understanding what it means to be that age. Even without having a name of her own, she was destined to have some sort of age-relating challenges being BR Cyrus' daughter.
In all fairness, what I did see of the photos, most looked very Vanity Fair-ish, a magazine I love. Annie Leibovitz will get flack, I'm sure - but I will wait to pick up a copy before I pass judement on the message of the photos.
I don't think there is any one person to blame, unless Ms. Cyrus was coerced, or the family blackmailed - or VF blackmailed
- or better yet the photographer.

He just said that Destiny Hope is a stripper name.:shrug: Well it is. Maybe somebody should have smacked the achy breaky out of Billy Ray for dropping that name on her. Miley is a MUCH better alternative.
Why is she going to have to fight that kind of thinking her whole life?

You’ve got me wrong. For me, it’s all about holding parents accountable for what their kids do. But it’s happening. The TV is a parent’s favorite babysitter; and even more disturbing is not knowing who that babysitter is. Just sit them down and run off doing something else. How many little girls did you see running around the mall all mocked up like Britney? I’m not attempting to put the blame on Hollywood (which I might clarify means the entire entertainment industry) at all. Parents have to start saying this is enough and turn the crap off.
The reason I make a big deal about Miley is they (Miley and her dad) put this big front up about how grounded she is and morals,
. Parents were saying “finally a roll model we can set our kids in front of”. Personally I was waiting for the ball to drop. And it did. And when it did people are really disappointed. This whole thing has let a lot of people down. The naked back just further closes that circle of distrust I have in the entertainment industry. For these little girls (and more so for their parents) it all ends being about sex and what sells. Is that all they end up being worth when they feel the dollars they are getting isn’t enough? “We’re not making enough off of Miley, get her naked, that’ll sell”.

Who ignored that?

You mean like the way young cheerleaders dress, and go in public, but when someone gets caught with pictures of the same cheerleaders on his computer it's considered child porn??

The teen that's knocked up was expected.. she doesn't portray Hannah Montana and the holy white and pure image.
The knocked up teenager is white trash and nothing more was expected of her?
