Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus, 15-year-old teen star who attributes her family and Christian faith for keeping her grounded in her fast-pace lifestyle, will write about her life before becoming Hannah Montana in a book deal that was confirmed by the publisher for Disney on Tuesday.

I thought about this over a smoke break.

People who are Miley Cyrus enthusiasts are, I am guessing, predominantly religious people who bemoan how wantonly disgusting media has become today. They embrace shows like Hannah Montana and Zoey 101 and encourage their children to watch these wholesome shows, while they are reinforcing their beliefs by busying themselves voting against sx in the city, gay marriage or whatever their organised religion tells them to do in the name of their God - and the children.

The Evangelical religious people (read: megachurches) are among the most vocal people in our society today; when it comes to letter writing campaigns or the swaying of politicians, they are totally on the ball and this works for them because ppl who do not really care what other people do, and believe in "each to their own"; they do not write letters!

So, the people like myself and many others on this earth, who believe we should all have freedom of choice and all those liberties, we may get our noses out of joint about the Vanity Fair / Miley Cyrus nudie pix "scandal" but chances are that when appropriate, we are are quietly watching pron or discretely satisfying our urges in a safe and healthy way, so we do not really care that much about the "scandal", except to say its a little wrong and insensitive to send that message.

That the media has sent this message time and time again; for the last 10 or so years we have had Britney Spears professing to be a virgin via a press release, and then proving to the world (on so many occasions) how incredibly flawed that press release was, and her sister, Jamie Lynn, she is 16 and in a family way as well. Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical, both young, one has nude pictures on the internet and the other one got a nose job.

These kids really want to "make it".

So... these Miley pron pictures, they were probably incredibly calculated for her by her managenment team which, no doubt, includes "concerned parents" - to subconsciously become a sex object and thus further her career, which is fairly stock standard stuff these days.

What I find irritating is that the only people who would really see this stunt as pronographic (and not just a little insensitive) are the ones who are against pronography in the first place and make a huge deal about stuff like this - but as a result of the publicity surrounding the "scandal" the pictures of Miley are readily available on well over 1000 free and uncensored news webpages and blogs and will no doubt be in the MX this afternoon.

How many people actually read Vanity Fair?

Religion has always tolerated the virgin fantasy in one way or another - so that this has become a beat-up says to me that this outrage is led by the hardcore religious and it is all smoke and mirrors to reinforce that as a whole, we as a people, we are not like this.

But just quietly, take a look at the photos...


PS - isn't it funny how all the Disney kids are so rebellious? Disney is so evil it is not funny but what we believe about Mickey and Walt and all the other characters makes us think its still a nice company and so much fun!

I think i will boycott them for personal reasons.
