A man becomes a super star because he has some singing ability.
He has a daughter. This daughter is raised with a silver spoon in her mouth.
Disney takes notice as they always do and create a promotional honey pot for money.
Teen breaks free from Disney and starts acting out, since she has no real rules or sense of accomplishment.
This is the story of Miley Cyrus and her problem is not the music industry.
Her problem, is that she's a spoiled little brat, whose parents didn't do their due diligence.

Gotta WHOLE HEARTED Disagree with you Tenth...
Miley might act out but this was planned by her managers and handlers. Miley didn't *poof* strip her clothes off from what they had planned for her and be unique and wild this was already COMPLETELY planned...

There is something that has been bothering me as it relates to a scheme that has been portrayed upon the morality of our nation, an insidious ploy designed and executed with the sole purpose of the destruction of innocence within our youth.

With the recent declaration of demagogic debauchery displayed by Miley Cyrus at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, a light bulb went off in my head, and for the first time I was able to see with greater clarity the deviant design behind our modern day teen idols.
For the purpose of this article, I will focus primarily on our young female idols and their effect upon the teen and pre-teen girls of the country, though the male equivalent is certainly just as prolific and culturally malignant in both scope and intention. One thing that I observed with this most recent fall of an innocent teen idol is the similitude of the playbook relaying again and again this likewise narrative. Like Brittany Spears before her, Cyrus was presented to the girls of America, and more importantly to the parents thereof, as a model of innocence and girlish frivolity. Few parents objected to the enthusiasm found within their young daughters for this giggling mascot of purity, lauded by society and displayed within the sanctified and trusted realm of Disney. Just as Brittany Spears made her entrée onto the world stage as a Mouseketeer, so too was Cyrus introduced to our daughters and permitted into our homes under the guise of cultural innocence that has been the banner of Disney, cemented in the national consciousness established by Walt and his loveable band of characters such as Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy. With the passage of its namesake and the inevitable change through time, America has lost the thread of cultural degeneracy that has occurred in our most stalwart institutions like Disney. As market demands and pressures have coalesced to create the largest media empire on Earth, the typical American exists in a false state of nostalgia of times long since passed and replaced by ruthless competitive forces devoid of moral consideration where the heir of Walt, Michael Eisner, has slaughtered and cooked the likes of Donald Duck and made Dumbos of us all.
One might rightly ask, why would a conglomerate like Disney purposefully bring down a model of innocence such as Cyrus? There could be many such reasons. One reason is the revenue sustainability of an established figure within a “captured” audience. As Cyrus ages and becomes less palatable to the next generation of teen and pre-teen girls, it is perhaps better to bring her established fan base along through an ever evolving career that allows for the continual return on investment into maturity rather than discard her and start anew with the next selected idol. Hannah Montana, like all fads, simply would not engender the endurance necessary for another decade of sustainment. Twerking Miley Cyrus, however, brings a fresh modality of appeal to an ever increasing society of decadence and thereby increased cultural life to a fruit otherwise squeezed dry....

Did you just attempt to make a serious "intelligent" post about Miley Cyrus?
The fact that you're focused on her at all suggests that you're no different from the millions of saps that are tweeting about her twerking in the first place.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe when young girls grow up to be sexy women, that it's not a f***ing conspiracy? Did you ever think that maybe Miley Cyrus is 20 f***ing years old now, and that she's a full fledged adult woman? She grew out of her kiddy stage and she's an adult. I don't see anything else more complicated behind it. She doesn't want to be associated with the whole Disney kiddy-purity thing anymore and I don't blame her. She wants to be herself and create her own image. I fail to see how that is a conspiracy.
Who gives a s*** if she's "lost her innocence". Did you ever see the South Park episode where Britney Spears blew her head off? Then they all were talking about who the next child star victim to lose her innocence would be and they looked at the TV at the end of the episode and Hannah Montana was on? We all saw this coming for years. The moment Hannah Montana grew in popularity, everyone instantly said, "Oh here comes another Britney Spears mousketeer-turned-crazed-child-star". Why act so surprised when it finally happens? I don't understand you people. What she did, and how she danced, is NO different from how 99% of 20 year old girls dance in clubs every night all over the world. But because we saw her on TV as a kid, we latch on to that digital image of her, frozen at a young and pure age. Guess what? Reality is, she's no different than us.

THAT is the problem I have with it. Why have we taught our girls that they have to act like this to be "sexy"? I'm no prude, but this is very sad. I'm so glad I don't have daughters. Now I just hope my sons grow up to realize that trashy does not equal TRUE sexiness.

Yea, some would even swat your hand away at least twice and say "doooont" (while smiling ear to ear) before yanking their shirts offedit on 29-8-2013 by Sharingan because: (no reason given)

Miley’s VMA performance is about a child star who was beloved by millions of young people showing what the industry has done to her. It is about shattering the innocence of her fans by having them witness her metamorphosis into one giant sex-obsessed caricature. Her oversexualized demeanor was characteristic of a Beta programming slave who had the switch turned “on”. Dressed and styled to look like a bratty child, jumping around with giant teddy bears, Miley’s performance was all about getting a negative reaction from the public while continuing the ongoing agenda of sexualizing everything that is related to childhood.
vigilantcitizen.com...
In an article published in 2011, Miley’s father Billy Ray Cyrus stated that her handlers (that’s the word he used) cut him out of the loop and told him to “mind his business”. Like other industry slaves, Miley has no contact with her family. In the interview, Billy Ray added that “Satan was attacking his family” that he was afraid to see her go down the same tragic path as Anna Nicole Smith (a Beta Kitten slave) and Michael Jackson (killed by the industry).
Billy Ray didn’t place all the blame on those currently in Miley’s life. "There are also evil forces at work", he claimed.
Oh and she did not seem to be one bit ashamed of her performance and carried on with gusto. I am surprised she didn't strip down further and have sex with, who was that guy anyway, was it Robin Thick and was he in on the act too?
I'm with you on that, It's not just about parenting in the entertainment industry. They use these children and yes I don't think her behavior equals being an adult as some seem to think. We have been desensitized by the media throughout the years to come to accept this kind of behavior, yep no big deal! From the very beginning of television we have slowly been desensitized to sexual content.

No, I think Disney IS the problem. How many Disney girls have been "transformed" over the years? Lindsy Lohan, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato etc..
Im still holding my breath for Selena Gomez.. Oh wait, she fell for Justina Bieberman, that was her crash

Dunno, I never got mostly naked and danced in front of a crowd as a kid. Guess I'm just a puritan, I didn't even drink until I was 18, and I didn't party. Yep, I may as well be Amish.
Wait, and you drank at 18 years old? That's illegal where I live (drinking age is 21)

Fair enough but we should remember that not every young woman out there wants to be and act like this. It really isn't "everybody in the USA" as they suppose. And oh my how they love to suppose.
As well folks focus on the behavior of the "Hollywood" product, of the machine. Never question the machine that much. A machine that has a board, folks making decisions about their product, its sales and defense. When the time is right these folks will start making movies, regular movies about anything, with full blown pornographic sex bits. Who knows what already goes on with some of these "super" stars during private live performances. This isn't even about growing up and coming out of the shell. This is about being part of and playing a role for a messed up culture of deranged sexuality, meat mechanics, salesman of lust and then blaming the culture for most of its development of this market.
