I've been surfing about Miley and said my bit without researching other posts on the blog. Trust me, most people seem to be upset that, apparently, Miley wasn't wearing panties and it's driving me nuts. I hadn't realized that your blog's entire concern was about these ethical concerns. Bravo and please forgive my big mouth. ADG Whoops! I’ve been surfing about Miley and said my bit without researching other posts on the blog. Trust me, most people seem to be upset that, apparently, Miley wasn’t wearing panties and it’s driving me nuts. I hadn’t realized that your blog’s entire concern was about these ethical concerns. Bravo and please forgive my big mouth.

However let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I understand that this may sound radical...but consumer power can change any situation like this, thanks to the mechanics of Capitalism. All you have to do is withhold your dollar and these companies will stop pushing their filth disguised as advertising. However, if you tacitly uphold their activities by continuing to (even grudgingly) purchase their products, they'll keep doing what they're doing. ADG Great post about Disney hypocrisy!

Parental responsibility is first and foremost. I have no way of knowing how big stars handle these situations with their kids. I'm just saying that Disney is not an innocent victim in this situation.

I get that parents can't constantly police the world for their kids, but I gotta give Billy Ray and Mrs. Cyrus some of the "credit" for this one. Considering the way-creepy pictures of Miley and her dad, it's clear they were on set. Did it not occur to them that topless pictures of their daughter were a bad idea? These aren't people ignorant of the media ... he's been a celebrity for over a decade. What were they thinking? If nothing else, I'd wager that their daughter's image is a big part of the family budget. Wouldn't that at least persuade them to protect her? Dunno about this one.
