Some Thoughts on Latest Celeb Scandal

Oh, very good. Let's talk about how Miley should be spanked for that show. Because the whole point of that act was definitely not to get people talking about it, and she certainly doesn't want you fantasizing about punishing her in a sexual manner.

Good thing you showed her.

I see that the 20 year old Miley has just released a new video, Wrecking Ball, in which she appears nude.

Wendy Williams of The Wendy Williams Show commented, "I think that she needs a spanking. Where are her parents?"

If her parents are not available for that task perhaps there are some members of the library who would be willing to volunteer for that job. The line forms on the right.

Unfortunately her parents are behind this as much as Miley herself. They encourage her to behave the way she does, because it keeps her name up there and that keeps the money rolling in.

My last post on this thread was sarcastic, which isn't especially productive. Let me now weigh in seriously.

For one thing, as CanadianSpankee pointed out, Miley was not the only person involved in the planning and execution of that performance. In singling her out for attention, you are not only singling her out for slut-shaming while giving a free pass to everyone else who was part of the show (including the man who was dancing with her), but also doing EXACTLY what the media machine wants you to do. This was intended to make Miley relevant again and get attention for her, largely for the benefit of the record companies who make the brunt of the profits. By letting her and her alone keep your attention, you are allowing yourselves to be molded like warm clay.

For another, the people saying that Miley deserves a spanking for this have basically ceded the right to be morally outraged by this. Tell me, Redskinluver, would you have made a similar remark if it was a male celebrity doing a sexually explicit stunt (I'm assuming you're a heterosexual guy here, based on your stories)? If not, you have allowed this performance to inspire sexual fantasies in yourself, and that is exactly what the Miley and Co want. Warm clay, etc.

Personally, I didn't watch the show and have been waiting for the news to stop talking about it since whenever it aired, but if the pundits at least admitted that they're going on about it because they find it titillating rather than cloaking their interest behind fake outrage I wouldn't find it nearly as obnoxious. For those reading this who are doing the same, just admit that you liked it.

Miley who?

I agree that others bear their share of responsibility for this act if it was rehearsed. Still, some of it may have been improvised by Miley.
Mention of her parents leads to express my opinion that her father's "Achy Breaky Heart" was one of the worst country songs ever. And I happen to like a lot of country music. If Miley is as musically-challenged as he is, no wonder she felt the need for some outrageous gimmick.
SNM's remark about fantasies I would like to address. Yes, I might not have thought about spanking had some male celeb did something so tasteless and stupid. True, I have not written as many stories about males being spanked as I have females but some. And whenever I watch Blue Lagoon I am thinking how much Christopher Atkins could use a spanking over his skimpy ,cheeky costume as much so as Brooke Shields.
Fantasies are different from real life opinions and views. To take an example, I do not think nude swimming is immoral or indecent. Still doesn't keep me from liking a story where a Mom catches her teenage daughter skinnydipping and gives her a good paddling. And I think the drinking age should be 18. But a story or scene where some college students , male or female,18-20 get spanked on spring break for underage drinking is still cool.
I have no dislike for Miley Cyrus personally. So far too she has avoided the personal problems of a Britney Spears or the legal problems of Lindsay Lohan.(Though IMO the system has come down far too hard on Ms Lohan for a first offense DWI).
I love movies and TV shows with pretty, often scantily-clad or wild women, like Baywatch, Dukes of Hazzard and Charlies Angels. But still doesn't stop me from imagining these ladies whom I like from being given a good spanking.
I have often said that sometimes I think some of these young entertainers use lack of clothing, and use of sexual poses, to make up for lack of talent. I cannot ,for example, imagine a Melissa Etheridge or Sheryl Crow doing something like Miley did.
On the other hand, Lady Gaga for all her outrageous costumes and her pottymouth, spoke up in favor of marriage equality for gays and lesbians. That raised my opinion of her considerably though my preference for combining music and political activism remains Joan Baez!
Who might have put herself once in a position for a spanking the time when she visited her ex-hubby's hippie commune and flushed a pound of pot down the commode(unlike so many from the 60s she has been adamantly anti-drug)! I cannot imagine those guys were too happy!
