A few thoughts...
1.) Ustwo is absolutely correct in saying that this was meant to be provocative. Whether it is or not is subjective and open to individual interpretation, but it was certainly intended to be provocative. And, while mixedmedia may very well be correct, in that our adult minds are what took us there...I also believe that our adult minds were led there, courtesy of the talents of Annie Leibovitz.
2.) The ever intuitive onesnowyowl has pegged it. It's all publicity. Publicity for Ms Cyrus, publicity for Vanity Fair, publicity for Annie Leibovitz, publicity for Disney, hell...there's even publicity for Billy Ray. Publicity for all.
3.) Really? Who cares? Do 9-12 year old girls read Vanity Fair? I don't think so. If this hadn't been blown so out of proportion, then Hannah Montana's reputation could well have remained intact.
4.) Personally? As art? I like it. But, as the cheap publicity stunt that I believe this is? It's just whoring out a 15 year old girl.
5.) I wonder....just what is it about Disney careers that just completely fuck some of these girls up so bad? Hopefully, Miley will be able to dodge the landmines that took out those that came before her.
