Miley Cyrus Pole Dancing – That Ain’t No Hannah Montana!

Miley Cyrus came out with a hot music video for her new single "Can’t be Tamed" in which she is pole dancing in a sexy black bodice.   My question is can she be Hannah Montana and a pole dancer? I mean Clark Kent is Super Man in his spare time and Peter Parker is Spider Man but somehow this is different. Also, Miley is only 17 years old.   Should 17 year-olds be pole dancing?

Is there any association between Miley Cyrus’s premature/under-age sexuality and leading news stories like the ones about Tiger Woods and Jesse James fooling around on their wives?   When most of Hollywood comes out in favour of an unconditional release for child rapist Roman Polanski can we be surprised at such music videos as Miley’s?

Are the moral standards of today’s entertainment world reflecting society’s low standards or is the general moral and social decay in America led by what people see in the entertainment world? I say that the answer is that neither choice is the whole truth – what’s really happening is that each influences the other. Hollywood try’s to keep up with what it sees as the cool leading edge and people who consume modern entertainment are inevitably influenced by what they see on the big and little screens and what they hear. One thing we can say for sure is that whether it is the masses or the entertainment elite who are in the lead it is definitely a race to the bottom!!   Photo: Bauer Griffin
