Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo shoot - appropriate?

She would be soooooooo grounded! :wtf:
 
No, it's not appropriate for a magazine to use someone underage to
sell their magazine in provocative, suggestive or in any stage of undress.

It's sexploitation of an underage girl.

Shouldn't they know better? :dunno:

I bet when they approached her and her people they gave her some ideas of what they thought about for the cover.
They didn't just get her to agree and wing it...

She also got a ton of cash to do it...

Can't see how it was "sexploitation" at all.

So where's the line with this stuff? It seems to me we've rounded a corner, if a major magazine has agreed to publish a 15 year old girl with smeared make-up, wrapped in a sheet. The implied meaning is she just got done having sex & I don't see how it could be interpreted in any other ways.

If pics from her personal life are being released by her "friends", exes, etc. then that's one thing. It's just irresponsible and trashy to put yourself in a major magazine in such a manner, when thousands of 8-15 year olds idolize you. It's also irresponsible of Vanity Fair to publish that crap, knowing her influence over young people.

I really don't think she or the mainstream media need to be sending the message to young girls that this kind of behavior is okay.

The underlying problem is that everyone wants to shift responsibility from one party to the other. The media wants to blame parents for not filtering what their children are seeing, and parents want to blame music, the media, internet, etc. when their kid turns up pregnant or with an STD in junior high.
 
I still think we are looking at this the wrong way.

if this is the most provocative thing she's done, then somebody has done the job right of keeping her from indecency.

face it, most kids these days are smoking, smoking pot, drinking, having sex, robbing old ladies, ok so maybe not the last part, but some of them are.

sputnikgirl - first of all, why are you now listed as a "guest" here???!!?

What happened, where did you go?

As for the issue of this thread, I saw the pics too and I can't say I saw them and thought "whoa, she just had sex" or she was supposed to look that way... Ok, maybe she was supposed to look sexy, but not necessarily sexual, as in she did it or does it. I don't think she's at all conventionally attractive, even for jailbait, which I don't typically get into, but couldn't the gist of the pics just be that she's supposed to look "kittenish" or whatever? Like cute and sexy and look-out-world?

The whole thing is just so annoying though. Hasn't our world been damaged enough by Billy Ray? Now he foists his offspring upon us, and controversies like this....
 
Edit:
Do not post links to images of underage people that are of a sexual nature.

Apparently there's more of those "leaked" pics of her floating around. Part of me thinks that they are being legitimately, but part of me thinks she's doing it herself.

Wow. She showed her stomach! OMFG what a whore!

People need to lay off her. I don't like her all that much, but come on! How come no one is all up in arms about the fact these private photos were leaked? Chances are I could find some 'private' pictures of Mother #1 and show them to everyone. Would everyone think she is a whore? No, they'd think I'm a freak.

Parents who are worried about a teenage girl showing her stomach or her shoulder really need to get out more. Watch one hour of television and you will probably find more sexual content in the commercials then you will in one Miley Cyrus photo. And for that matter, since when do little girls look up provocative pictures of their idols?

The law is out of touch with the reality of the lives of young people
I would submit that their lives are not theirs to be in touch with . . quite yet.The lives of "young people", in most cases, require responsible leadership and guidance. Sure there are exceptionally bright and responsible 14, 15, 16 & 17 year old kiddo's in the world, however, isn't that the exception as opposed to the rule ? "Young people" have little or no previous "work" experience i.e. they're naive and vulnerable to the evils that lurk in the desire to exploit them, in many cases, and in turn, when they find themselves in crisis it's best that they have a responsible parental network with which to consult with.

This is nauseating, the thought of a 37 yo man, for example, shredding away at a 14 yo girl (yes, g-i-r-l, not w-o-m-a-n). Mature thought does not parallel with our sexual hormones, in my estimation. I think that the age of majority at 18 is fine precisely where it is, particularly within the ambiance of a failed curricular establishment within our publik school apparatus. "They've" incrementally and intentionally dumbed down a generation, here in Amerika, IMO. Just compare the academic / scholastic test scores of today vs. yesterdays.
No offense Dream Sparrow, I just disagree in principle. Sure progressivism has it's place in society. . . but there are limits to those challenges. :2 cents:

Wow. She showed her stomach! OMFG what a whore!
√ Camel's nose is in the tent
√ Slippery Slope
√ Snowball rollin' down the mountain
etc. . . etc . ad nauseam

Decadence has it's beginning . . and over time . .
Do you know the "rest of the story" ?
 
They were artistically done by one of the best and most respected photographers in the world...and no there is nothing wrong with them...
 
She should just get it over with already and either make out with another girl or video herself fucking a dude. I mean, isn't that what she's after, notoriety? Little skank wants to go from 14 to 25 overnight! Some advice, little girl - enjoy your teens, you're only 15 once!
 
I love how people (in general) are okay with these photos and are allowed (thought they will clearly spark sexual interest), yet people on to catch a predator are hit with felonies for having sex talk with a "15" year old online.
