Miley Cyrus


I spent a lot of time looking for a good picture of Miley Cyrus to put into this review, but to my surprise all I could find were a bunch of photos of the girl in her underwear, which struck me as slightly tactless for this page and her age. I mean, apparently she took them herself, so who am I to judge. And yet...


Here's the thing: I don't know anything about Miley Cyrus. I've never heard her music, haven't seen "Hannah Montana" or anything along those lines. I remember Billy Ray Cyrus and his Achy Breaky Heart which was arguably the worst song to come out of the 1990s.


So here I am reviewing a girl I know nothing about, and you might be asking how on Earth can you review this person and why would you bother? Well let me tell you why...In association with Vanessa Hudgens and the query over her apperance in High School Musical 3 because of her internet nude pics, the article about Hudgens mentioned Miley Cyrus and her naughty pictures. Curious I took a look and to my surprise she, like apparently most fifteen year old girls, had taken pictures of herself in her underwear and posted them on her MySpace. Extremely stupid, but what are you gonna do? Let's face it, she's just a girl and it's not entirely surprising that she did what she did.


No, what I have to complain about is the infamous vanity fair photo. Oh we've all seen it, and I tried to find it to put it up but I couldn't be arsed after the first two pages of Google Images. The point is she's nude, with a sheet around her - we see her nude back. It's a very nice picture and is quite arty and tasteful. And, it appears, Miley agrees. "it's very arty...and not skanky" she said. However, everyone frowned and said...dear, oh dear, so Miley turns around and claims she had no choice in the photo and it wasn't what she wanted. Oh right, so you and your Dad had a gun to your heads and the photograher said "Get your clothes off Miley, I want a pic of you in a sheet!" and she shat herself, and the pair just gave in.


Oh for God's sake! Accept some responsibility people! The poor image you are sending out to kids isn't just the photo, it's the fact you are trying to pass the blame onto somebody else. You chose to do it, it's not that bad, so just admit that you can see how others won't like it, but you do.


"D+" for being a fuck-knuckle.
