Heard about all this mess on Fox News online this morning. I've got two grade-school age girls at home and am so glad we got rid of TV a few months back. They didn't need to see Hannah Montana in full whore-mode. For that matter, they don't need to see 95% of the garbage/poison/advertising on TV. Netflix/Amazon/DVD's and actual "books" seems to be working just fine....
Considering her age, exactly what do you think you COULD do that wouldn't make things worse? The only thing there is TO do is sit down, STFU, and keep your foot out of your mouth.
You don't stop being a father when your kid reaches a certain age. My daughter is the same age (20) and i don't hesitate to give her my take on things. Not talking with your kids about their behavior is the worst thing you could do, they'll think you condone it by your silence.

what T O M said. At her age, it's pretty much too late.
I actually think you might have just insulted Madonna.... if that's possible.
MC's "performance" was like amateur hour down at the slippery pole.
She didn't really know what she was doing, but she knew it was going to take a lot of air humping, air licking and crotch rubbing to get the attention she was looking for.

Y' know, I read your response differently than I read the rest. I agree with what I think you said. The problem most parents have about that age is failing to make the transition from "controller" to "adviser." You bet, give input if she'll listen, but don't burn any bridges trying to tell her what to do. There may be much more important issues down the road. If you waste your silver bullets shooting tin cans you won't have them when she needs you to whack a werewolf.
(Mine is 26. I've had time to think about this a lot.)
If I was BRC I would congratulate her on being the best marketing genius since Maddona. 'Controversial' is the best kind of publicity...
Then I would go hide my head in the sand....
Madonna was probably the first and absolutely successful at it, and her acts were not that vulgar.
The Lady Gag chick is doing the same but is simply weird.
Cyrus is simply stupid, I saw a short clip on fox and all she did was touch her pussy and stick her tongue out...and she is not attractive with that butch ass haircut.

I agree with you 100%. My 23 year old and 17 year old daughters get more than "suggestions" out me. Though issues still arise things are much easier when you bring them up the way they should go. Billy Ray been building Miley up to this the biggest part of her life.
Cyrus served as executive secretary and treasurer of the Kentucky AFL-CIO from 1984 to 1986 and was employed as a rigger with Armco Steel Ashland Works. He was a Kentucky colonel, served as a regional representative with Alan Greenspan of the Federal Reserve Board

hollywood producers made the problem she is a victim of this society she has made an impact and is just doing what she is told by the money machine not her fault most of the asswipes in that audience are hypocrites and so is the public

Yep, Miley is losing it, she's lost. Anyone can hump and grind, be naked, its been going on for years. But that VMA performance was just sad, no class, grace or talent evident at all.

Yep, but the money spends the same, unfortunately. NathanL, that is hilarious.
who GAF? i mean who really GAF? those hollywood freaks can wear rubber underwear and jam gerbils up their fart boxes and do whatever they want as far as i'm concerned. they are so far out of me and my families radar that they might as well be on mars. freaks, weirdo's and mutants with the morals of jungle animals. they can all go straight to hell.

but what about the poor gerbils? what did they ever do to deserve that?

What a shame. She'll be hooked on coke or crack within a few years and then be doing to whole Hollywood track meet of one rehab after another until she is jailed or dead.
Cited over and over back in the Hannah Montana days that the stars of Hollywood are not perfect and should not be viewed as role models, her plunge into utter depravity has vindicated my wife's and my efforts.
The thing that makes it so bad is that she was a role model for young girls when she was younger.
Unfortunately she's symptomatic of a generation. A lot of those girls who were carrying Hannah Montana bookbacks and whatnot back then are buying into Miley's sung "Its my body and I can do what I want" message.
There's a sort of frantic mania about it, as embodied by her stage performances. These were the same sort of young women mindlessly chanting "Hail Satan" at that Austin abortion rally recently.
They don't THINK they are Satan worshipers of course, its just that now these women are all trying to out-shock everyone. Like how many tattoos can they get, how many different sort of sexual situations can they get into, all while being cool and hip and disconnected of course. Same old story; all trying to be "different" and all ending up being about the same.
And like all evil, the mindset brooks no dissent.
Its a sort of mania, sad really. Life is NOT going to be kind to these women, nor the guys stuck in the middle of all this looking for life partners.

They vote.
And public policy is already being re-written to accommodate their particular cherished mythologies, look at the US Armed Services for example.
And because they have few or no kids they tend to get a lot of college degrees, and go far in those occupations like colleges and government not driven by the usual free market forces of the private sector. Even in the private sector they can go far, being as once again their focus in life is primarily on themselves.
You and your wife may not encounter them much, but your kids will, unless they are just gonna stay home on the farm or whatever.
She's 18! Only difference with her is she is making a bundle with it! Anyone who grew up in the 60's.... well you didn't even have to know a girls name to have sex with her! Though it helped if it was more than a one night deal.

Or if you were still in her bed or her in yours in the morning. Back seat of cars, no problem.
