OMG! Scandal! Miley Cyrus Crotch Shot Published by Perez Hilton Reuters

Reuters offers the Mother Of All Excuses:

A Reuters representative speaking on background admitted that the photo had caused concern in the photo department because of Miley’s age, but that was weighed against the fact that it occurred on stage in front of hundreds of people and other cameras, as well as the fact that the teen sensation is transitioning away from “Hannah Montana” and into a more grown-up performer.

I became aware of this latest scandal when I checked SiteMeter and discovered a sudden surge in Google-search traffic for “Miley Cyrus upskirt photo.” Journalistic investigation led me to check the celebrity news aggregator WeSmirch and . . .

Well, I’m not going to link the photo, which is disturbingly creeptastic. As easy as it would be to dish out a lot of snark about Miley Cyrus’ wardrobe choices and/or her apparent embrace of the trend toward extreme depilation, the issue raised by this photo is far too serious for mere snark. Three suggestions:

  1. The photo editor at Reuters who approved this image for distribution needs to be fired;
  2. Miley Cyrus needs to be advised against traveling down this ex-Disney Princess road to Britney/Lindsay burnout; and
  3. Someone at the Justice Department’s Innocent Images Task Force should make a friendly phone call to Reuters, and a slightly less friendly call to Perez Hilton, just to let them know that they’re in the danger zone.

If ever there was a place where a “chilling effect” would come in handy, this is it.

  1. Fourth suggestion:

    Someone from child protective services should have paid a visit to that family long ago.

    Why would you want to encourage the DOJ’s bureaucrats to lie? They seem to do plenty of that without being egged on.

  5. gotta provide cover for Perez Hilton. If it’s in the news, can’t prosecute him/her/it for anything, can you?

  7. If anyone else had taken a pic like that, do you suppose law enforcement officials would be all over the photographer on child pornography charges?

  9. Miss Cyrus should now discard her Hannah Montana character as it no longer fits as her alter ego. She should revive the old military favorite: Sally Rotten Crotch.

  11. …or as Full Metal Jacket has it…

    GS HARTMAN: Tonight, you pukes will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl’s name. Because this is the only pussy you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging old MARY JANE ROTTEN CROTCH through her pretty pink panties are over. You’re married to this piece, this weapon of iron and wood. And you will be faithful.
