So I haven't talked about the Perez Hilton, Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana), "Up-Skirt" Photo - Issue, because ... well, frankly, it is hollywood & celebrity gossip at its worst. It is the exploitation of women, children, and sex to an extreme, but what is new for Hollywood? If you really want to know about the story you can google it... I don't really want to link anywhere.
What really gets to me in this whole issue is how the media is treating it. For example, look at the poll that the LA TIMES has up regarding the issue:
How is this even a question? What kind of question is this?!? Why doesn't it just ask the question they are hinting at: "Is semi-nude photography really Child Porn if the person in question is famous and almost 18?" I know there is a QUESTION over whether she was ACTUALLY sans underwear and therefore: nude... but lots of laws don't actually REQUIRE actual nudity.
This whole situation is messed up... just MESSED UP! I blame everyone: Perez, Miley, her dad, the press, the culture, the people that still buy her albums for their children, the people that let their children continue to watch her on TV, I just can't take it! Our culture has seriously gotten us to the point where it is OK to watch and support Miley as HANNAH, because that show is OK even though she isn't! This whole thing makes me furious... and if you are a PARENT and support Miley Cyrus in anyway... you fail. The End. Not that there is any... but all Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus stuff is IN THE TRASH tomorrow... this is why pop culture is ruining our children.
