Miley Cyrus Crosses the Decency Barrier

Sad....

Another "Disney kid" has walked away from Walt Disney's advice about maintaining some sense of class and modesty.

Just check out the new cover page of Cosmopolitan Magazine, and you'll see Miley Cyrus, daughter of country singer Billy Ray, and former star of the Disney show "Hannah Montana", dressed (and I use that term loosely) and posing with all the charm and class of a prostitute.

A lot of kids grew up singing Hannah Montana songs, buying her CD's and seeing her movies.

Look at their former role model now.

Would you want YOUR kid featured on a magazine cover looking like her? I'm not going to dignify this tomfoolery by posting a link. Google it for yourself.

It's disappointing.

Go ahead, call me a prude, but all I see here is another celebrity ego on overdrive, who will be looking forward to the drug problems, failed marriages, and fatherless children that seem to be trademarks of Hollywood.

The late Helen Gurley Brown, founder of Cosmopolitan, was considered a progressive feminist. I wonder if she truly intended for her magazine to showcase women as ditzy, scantily-clad boy toys.

Wasn't this the kind of sterotype Ms. Brown tried to destroy?

Boy, how time does change things, and all for the sake of the Almighty Dollar.

'Nuff said.
