Subject: Miley Cyrus Author: MSams [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:41:29 04/29/08 Tue I was listening this morning and I was surprised and disappointed that Kidd was calling for Miley Cyrus to be fired by Disney. It's interesting to me that no one has called to task the etremely experienced photographer who took the pictures. This man has been doing this job for longer than some of us have been on this earth and I think he took advantage of HIS celebrity when he took this picture. He probably could have taken advantage of most people who know who he is because it's supposed to be such a big honor to be photographed by him. Also Kidd, I don't recall you asking for Vanessa Hudgins to be fired and she had on a whole lot less than Miley and Jamie Lynn Spears is from Nicolodeon not Disney. As for the bra strap picture. At 15 my best friend from high school showed a boy her underwear when we were in 9th grade, She still made it to college a virgin. So did I. We as parents need to start realizing that children do not so smart things sometimes and it has nothing to do with people on TV. I think Kidd should ask his daughter if she ever did anything like that and I think that if she is honest he'll be surprised and since she was 15 before Miley Cyrus was who's he going to blame for that.

[> Subject: Re: Miley Cyrus Author: LIsmail [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:22:32 04/29/08 Tue I agree that girls being sexualized has increasingly changed over time and that Miley is certianly not the first. Teens do silly things. But the power of the media versus the lack of strong parenting at home creates an environment that impacts social change for young girls in a negative way. When we encourge our five and six year old girls to do cheers and dance to adult music with sexually provacative lyrics, when partying teens on Spring Break and Girls Gone Wild are flashing across TV (even short images that are quickly passed by have strong messages), and girls like Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, and other celebrity girls with bad behavior are our young children's role models, we can expect our children's values to not develop appropriately. Kidd, I heard the conviction in your voice this morning and was glad to know that you were bothered by Miley's situation for young girls across the globe. It IS the parent's responsibility to raise our kids to make good decisions and know what is right and wrong. I think, sadly, that many parents don't have those abilities themselves. People want to be accepted, youth and adults alike, and sadly, too often, that is when we let our values, if we have them, fly out the window. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Miley Cyrus Author: Rachel [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:58:26 04/29/08 Tue I do not get it. I just looked at the Vanity Fair website photos of Miley Cyrus. The sheet picture everyone seems to be talking about is tame. I have seen worse from other young stars. She is not naked. From the way everyone was talking I thought that she was laying in a bed naked covered carelessly with a sheet. The picture was not at all what I was expecting... I'm sorry but what Disney fanatic reads Vanity Fair anyways? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
