Miley Cyrus is Not Your Kids’ Role Model
North Star Writers Group ^ | April 30, 2008 | Dan Calabrese

Posted on 04/30/2008 4:41:22 AM PDT by Invisigoth

Hannah Montana is on in our house more than I care to acknowledge, but such is life when your wife, er, I mean, your seven-year-old is a manic Disney Channel fan. It’s actually a pretty funny show, although it doesn’t hold a candle to Cory in the House. (You just can’t beat White House chase scenes with Benny Hill-style music.)

But this show could not have turned the now-besieged Miley Cyrus into a teen-pop phenomenon, and thus a “role model” if viewers of the show – and I mainly mean parents – could keep the whole thing in perspective.

Fifteen-year-old Miley is catching heat for posing in some rather suggestive photos by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz, including one in which she is topless but covering herself with a sheet.

Yeah, I said she’s 15. What do you think will happen when her father, erstwhile mullet legend Billy Ray Cyrus, finds out? Oh yeah, that’s right. He was there for the photo shoot. He was even in a couple of the photos. That’s one American parent who’s not beside himself over it. Unfortunately, he might be the only one.

Two threads in the last few minutes and I still have no idea who she is.

If some people had their way, pedophilia would be normalized. I’m amazed at the stuff I see.

So when parents get upset because Miley poses for completely inappropriate photos at the age of 15, because she’s a “role model,” their premise is as much a part of the problem as she is.

Excellent observation.

YUCK! Is she supposed to look as if she’s just been raped?

Miley Cyrus the villian? Could someone explain to me why the photographer, Ms. Annie Leibovitz, is getting a pass on this?

Is this what modern feminism has wrought? Women using female children in provacative photoshoots. Does this promote the agend of the modern feminists?

Where’s the outrage?

What’s Hillary have to say?

Obviously, not comming from the MSM.

The normalization of pedophilia is in full swing right now.

As is the normalization of polyamory.

Bestiality is next on the block.

Count on it.

Our culture is sick and getting sicker EVERY DAY.

Oh, LORD, give us an awakening!

Give us a revival!

This Cyrus kids uses the same old publicity stunt that teen kids have been using for decades.

The sweet innocent child turned "Rebel". Next will be rumors of alcohol and other reckless activity. Cover pictures on the same Rag Mags as she spirals into another Britney, Paris, Lindsey,....etc..

It’s been thirty years since we had the same arguments about Brooke Shields. I’m not a big fan, but she turned out all right.

What the Bay City Rollers were in the 70s - the manufactured pop flavor of the moment.

But she is huge phenom, though - I think her tour is drawing the kind of numbers (and hype) that big-name groups normally get.

Miley sounds like a dog’s name.

But most of her fans are under 15 years old, of course ...

Because she's a lesbian and she couldn't help herself?

Cute doggie, but not my type.
:)

However, I’m sure there are many who are looking for a new thrill. When homosexuality, pedophilia, and polyamory become mainstream, the next frontier will be the beasts.

Of course, given the unbridled depravity of the cultural elite, they may devise something that will surprise even me.

Maybe they’ll do something original and start having sex with their spouses.

To her credit, she DID say that the photos embarrassed her and she wished they would not be published.

People who count on Miley Cyrus or the Disney Corporation to not sell out or abuse the trust placed in them are fools. It is like the Scorpion and the Frog. It is what they are.
