Comments on: Miley’s shot a bit too revealing for G rating http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2008/04/miley%e2%80%99s-shot-a-bit-too-revealing-for-g-rating/ The Wichita Eagle Editorial Department Blog Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:41:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: kangarooprincess http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2008/04/miley%e2%80%99s-shot-a-bit-too-revealing-for-g-rating/#comment-340429 kangarooprincess Fri, 02 May 2008 13:57:30 +0000 http://blogs.kansas.com/weblog/2008/04/miley%e2%80%99s-shot-a-bit-too-revealing-for-g-rating/#comment-340429 And what about Jamie Lynn? After this season, Zoey 101 will be cancelled and now she is on Miss Guided. No, it isn't Disney, but she was still supposed to be the breath of fresh G-rated air in opposition to Britney. Now she isn't, in my opinion, any better than her sister. And what about Jamie Lynn? After this season, Zoey 101 will be cancelled and now she is on Miss Guided.

Miley should not shy away from the spotlight because of the photo. They didn't do that to Vanessa. She had full frontal nudity. This is just her back, but yes, I agree she is too young for that photo, and I blame Annie, not Miley. I didn't like Britney Spears from the start, but when she "grew" up, I had made my mind up that she was never going to be a role model for my future daughters. Miley will be. At least she apologized for the uproar. I honestly think Disney is overreacting. Miley should not shy away from the spotlight because of the photo. They didn’t do that to Vanessa.

No more skin is shown than I would see with a kid swimming in the pool. It is the sexualizing at thta early age that troubles me. That same pose in a 20-year-old might be appropriate but not a 15 ear old. Mary - agreed pretty much on all counts. No more skin is shown than I would see with a kid swimming in the pool.

I have nothing against nudity at all at any age, there is nothing more beautiful than a naked baby..I just believe it is immoral to sexualize a child for commercial purposes, and I doubt if this picture was Miley's idea. The apathy about manipulating a child in this way is disgusting and a big part of what's wrong with our culture. No wonder child porn is such a hot commodity these days...too many people saying "oh well, that's just how it is" None of you get the point…too bad.

I saw an episode of Samatha Who the other night and she went to her ex's gallery showing of his photographs. It was quite racy, her covering her breast with her hand, and clearly not wearing anything else. He was praised for it's "artistic" view, but her father was not happy. That is different because she was an adult, but Miley isn't 5 and posing like that. But Miley is embarassed, so that settles it. If the subject isn't happy with it, than it was wrong, but it is still just a photo. It is just a photo, and others have done worse and their careers are ok.

I've certainly seem far worse! What I have seen is that until the level of hard porn is reached, most of the sexuality in a given image is in the viewer's mind. And when that mind is in the head of a preacher who makes a good living rooting out immorality even where none exists, he's bound to find quite a bit.I can't help but laugh out loud at how badly some of the work is distorted in ways that are designed to fill that plate come Sunday! One of the true classics was when Anthony Comstock (the Jerry Falwell of his day) summoned the sheriff to confiscate a blatently pornographic painting entitled "Nude Descending Staircase" by Marcel Duhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase,_No._2champ And of course it was painted by a Frenchman; how sexual that must be! The photograph of Miley probably should not have been done for artistic reasons- It's already been done way too many times to claim any kind of originality- but there are no reasons for claiming it to be immoral, other than the generation of a bit more clink on the old collection plate.

Again, I see nothing wrong with this image. Some women do like the attention they get from feeling beautiful, I find nothing wrong with that. Just as I think its fun to go with my friends to watch the guys strip, I don't feel like they're degrading themselves. Think about it, wouldn't it be great if a woman chose to wear something skimpy in Afghanistan that she wouldn't get stoned to death for turning on men? HOw liberated are the FLDS women in their long dresses down to their ankles and having sex fully clothed? Does that stop men from demoralizing them there? There is no shame in being beautiful, and there should be nothing SEXUAL about being beautiful. Tell me, if that was a 40 year old, 300 lb woman, would you still have the opinion that it was a come do me pic? Or would it look rather like she just got off the gyno table? A women's liberation should come from being able to walk around and not be leered at PERIOD. But rather, be seen for the beauty that she possesses at all ages, weights, sizes of life.

It's just plain wrong. A woman shouldn't have to be sexualized in order to be considered beautiful. Why do you think there are so many girls dressing like streetwalkers and starving themselves to be skinny? It's because of this stupid body image that is impossible to achieve but they are encouraged to feel worthless unless they can achieve it. Most women don't look like Barbie..and whatever happened to the idea that INNER beauty was more important than looking like something out of Playboy? I miss the early days of the women's movement when women were striving for self respect, independance, and self worth...not judging themselves by how attractive they were to the opposite sex. Somewhere, somehow we've lost our way. I hate the idea that our culture teaches young girls that in order to beautiful, they have to be sexual. It’s just plain wrong.

Seriously. I'm glad I'm not religious. I had someone chastize me for pictures, one a picture of when my daughter was about 12, my hubby took her out to do test shots, and she's leaning back against a tree, fully clothed, with her arms across her chest. Someone saw that and said "oh my god you let your husband take photos of her like that". I said..like what? Because she was reclining against the tree, someone thought that she looked like she was trusting her pelvis towards him suggestively. WTFE. I will say this though. I had a picture of my son up on a profile picture shirtless, he was all of about 5 months old. and I had some guy message me for child porn. I was never so disgusted in all my life. And I did reverse lookups on his ID, reported him to the KBI...and I don't know if they ever caught this guy but I sure hope they did. He told me that he didn't get to look at his daughter's breasts since she had gone off to college ICK! Must be hard being so sexually repressed all the time. Seriously. I’m glad I’m not religious.

I had someone chastize me for pictures, one a picture of when my daughter was about 12, my hubby took her out to do test shots, and she’s leaning back against a tree, fully clothed, with her arms across her chest. Someone saw that and said “oh my god you let your husband take photos of her like that”. I said..like what? Because she was reclining against the tree, someone thought that she looked like she was trusting her pelvis towards him suggestively. WTFE.

I will say this though. I had a picture of my son up on a profile picture shirtless, he was all of about 5 months old. and I had some guy message me for child porn. I was never so disgusted in all my life. And I did reverse lookups on his ID, reported him to the KBI…and I don’t know if they ever caught this guy but I sure hope they did.

I wondered what kind of a person could take pride in a job that was the very embodiment of philistinism. Now I know.
