On the morning shows, the news and the internet, the most recent scandal to talk about is the Miley Cyrus scandal, if you can call it that. She’s been the sweet and wholesome image of Disney’s Hannah Montana, adored by pre-teens all over. The scandal is, that the photos recently published in Vanity Fair magazine is supposedly too racy for her teen idol image. It doesn’t help either that a couple of weeks ago there was the other outrage because of an internet photo where she supposedly let a flash of her bra show.
She’s a teenager, after all and if you have teen agers, these things are quite mild compared to what teen agers can really get into nowadays. At least she hasn’t gon to alcohol rehab or drug rehab like other pop stars her age. She is a teenager and she will do what teens do. She is not some goddess that is above everyone else. That’s what where most people go wrong. Just because she’s on TV doesn’t mean she’s a role model. I think there is something wrong with our society anyway that idolizes actors on tv and movies. They are “acting” don’t people get it?
I sure don’t get what the big deal is.

If the news media wasn’t all over this, none of Miley’s young fans would know. No kid reads Vanity Fair.

that’s true, Tina. Kids probably wouldn’t think of it as a huge deal either even if they did.
