It appears that the blogosphere, the media, and parents everywhere are “outraged” because of this photograph being taken and used in the June issue of Vanity Fair. It seems that the 15 year old super-star allowed herself to be photographed by Vanity Fair photographer Annie Leibovitz, the FAMOUS photographer. This was done while her father was right there. A blogger by the name of Lin Burress was quoted in an interview as saying, “Parents should be extremely concerned. Very young girls look up to Miley Cyrus as a role model.” Frankly, if I had a young daughter, I would prefer that she look up to Annie Leibovitz as a role model, though I have nothing at all against Miley. 

Come on people! I’ve seen more “naked” 15 year olds in magazine ads and walking around in public. Ooooh… she’s showing her naked back! So what? Has everyone gone crazy out there? There are kids her age dying every day in Iraq, or being slaughtered in Darfur. Police just discovered that some sicko in Austria began raping his own daughter at the age of 11, and has since fathered at least 6 children with her! If parents want something to get upset about, what about these things? Where is everyone’s priorities? For God’s sake, open your eyes and look at the real world!
