I didn't even know who Miley Cyrus was until today, when I accidentally bumped into this post on a blog, criticizing Vanity Fair's upcoming publication of an Annie Leibowitz portrait of Miley Cyrus.  

 


It raises many interesting questions about 1) What is bad or not bad about an underage girl being photographed in this manner?  2) If it is bad, what is bad about it? 3) If there is something bad about it, would it be not bad if the girl were 25?  What if the girl is 18?  What if they're 16?

Also interesting is what appears to be the difference in how Cyrus felt about her picture the day it was taken, and how she feels now since a bunch of people have reacted negatively.  What does that say about her and how she makes decisions?  And what does it say about the people who think the picture is bad that they think that it is bad?  If you don't think it's bad, does that make you bad?
