SMARTER THAN SHE ACTS
New day, new pictures/videos of Miley Cyrus in various stages of undress. This girl is either naked or about to get naked, so you can imagine our confusion when she recently criticized porn. Is it possible that Cyrus is smarter than we're giving her credit for?
"Guys watch too much porn"
Miley Cyrus told W Magazine, "Guys watch too much porn," and "Those girls don't exist — they're not real girls."
Air five, sister! All the single ladies have been saying that for a while now. Guys have become so addicted to spanktravision that they forget that those women are paid. (And is it OK to say that it's not exactly an industry secret that the participants are whacked out of their skull a good portion of the time?) When it's time for guys to date the real thing, either they think the girl is going to swing from the rafters, or they've been having so much "me" time that they're completely desensitized.
We're confused
Cyrus also said that romantic comedies are "girl porn" and that those men don't exist, either. Again, she makes a valid point. Women are raised with Disney princes coming to the rescue and hot, funny men from the movies. That also sets an unrealistic expectation. So why is a celebrity whose name has become synonymous with envelope pushing and inappropriate behavior making so much sense? Underneath all the smoke and mirrors, is Cyrus a lot smarter than we give her credit for?
That sounds downright grounded
After the W interview, much was made of Cyrus' comment that she "hated kids" (which is kind of funny when you consider the fact that a healthy portion of Cyrus' fan base is kids). Cyrus went on to explain that she meant she hates the way kids treat their parents and that their lack of respect for their parents makes her want to smack the kids herself. That almost sounds like someone who was raised to have respect for her parents and who appreciates raising well-behaved kids.
Is it possible that Cyrus is not only smarter than we've given her credit for but that she may be more grounded and may have more of a moral compass than we've thought? First, Cyrus blew our socks off with her MTV Unplugged performance, and now this. Hmmm.
