You Would Expect Better From Reuters


Reuters is one of the leading news organizations in the world but the thought of making a bunch of money off Miley Cyrus was just too much for them to ignore. At the Much Music Awards the other night, Miley Cyrus performed in a white outfit. At one point during the performance she took off more clothes which caused the clothes she was wearing to shift, which caused the area between her legs to be exposed.

Reuters made the decision to go ahead and sell the photo even though most organizations that are using it are censoring it. The picture is actually much worse than the photo Perez posted last week, but Reuters just doesn't care.

Reuters says that because Miley was performing in front of hundreds of people and television cameras that it somehow justifies the fact they can show a minor's naked body parts. FOX News was told by Reuters that the photo was only available to print organizations and not available online, but Fox was able to download it and purchase it without any restrictions at all.

Reuters says the photo does not promote child pornography. I say that is crap. You mean to tell me that a child porn freak is more interested in a fully clothed picture of Miley rather than one where you can see everything? That makes no sense. Of course FOX News is just as bad because on their site they have a link to the uncensored photo. I guess they just wanted to provide themselves some cover.

Reuters is just as guilty as Piggez Hilton. But you know who I blame more, where the hell are her famewhore parents to tell her to wear something with more coverage. A crotch shot is bound to happen in those pantless outfits. Is there no one in her inner circle that will tell her that this is not the way to shed ur past. Miley would have done better with a see though body suit and rhinestones in the anatomically correct places. Afterall she is still a minor.

Sorry Enty but this chick does it to herself, she is determined to destroy her Disney image by any means necessary, even if it means promoting pedophilia.

I don't care for her music, or the things I read in print that she says. That being said - whether she is testing her independence by wearing what she wears...17 is one year too young to being posting the photo.
There are areas of gray with everything - but with possible child porn, it needs to stay black and white.
I ramble about this - the other day on Celebitchy there were a lot of posters commenting that she is acting/dressing like a whore therefore the kitty shot was fair game. I stopped reading that site since then. Anyway - steps off soap box.

Anonymous said...

The picture is out of line, yes. But what about her parents letting her wear something like that? If she is a child, then they should still have some say in what she does and how she dresses. She could bust out her new sexy look without being so trashy about it.

Oh. Maybe she can't.

nancer said...

is this picture even real? the anatomy doesn't look familiar to me and i'd think it would.

plus, there's trim on one side of the crotch of that little thing she's wearing and none on the other. so is it real?

JJ said...

Did you all see Lainey's comment yesterday? So very true.

"This so-called minor is being watched by millions on an international broadcast. Is it my responsibility not to look there, or is it her responsibility to give me something to look at that won’t get me in trouble? Am I allowed to say she has a nice ass when she’s shaking it in my face? Am I allowed to compliment her cute body when I can see almost all of it unclothed at the busiest intersection in Toronto, while she expertly gyrates it for hundreds of cameras surrounding the venue? If I do, am I the asshole blogger?"

TraLaLa said...

Again, if she wasn't so skanky, she wouldn't have accidentally? shown her bajina in front of hundreds of people. Removing her clothes caused the shift. If she hadn't there wouldn't be this damn scandal, there wouldn't be photos, & we wouldn't have to debate or think of this at all. Yuck. I'm done.

Pookie said...

*sigh*

i've had enough idiocy from the miley camp and from yellow media outlets.

mooshki said...

I think if she shows her stuff and you suspect it was deliberate, you are allowed to talk about it, but not to post the freaking pictures! Ugh!!!

karen said...

I really have a problem with the word child pornography when it comes to Miley Cyrus. She is NOT a child anymore.
She has breasts. A child doesn't. She has pubic hair. A child doesn't. I could go on with this but you get my idea.
I don't know what's the big fuss. Of course, it is indecent in terms of why a female celebrity's private parts have to be photographed and those pictures published in the first place. But then I would think that Enty has enjoyed plenty a picture of naked or scantily clad women himself.
So, again, what's the fuss?
Miley is not a child anymore and she clearly wants to provoke.
I bet she's thinking 'HA, I'm spreading my legs and you can see my hoo-ha but I know very well that you are not allowed to publish that picture you just took. Neener-neener.'
I'd just say publish those pictures and let her feel humiliated. She might learn from it and keep her legs closed the next time and stops wearing those whore-ish costumes.

califblondy said...

I know she's technically a minor, but I don't think the folks or anybody else for that matter has told her what to do in some time. Hell, her Mother probably told her to buy the outfit so she could borrow it. I place the blame squarely on our little Hannah.

kathrynnova said...

how can anyone have responsibility when she herself takes none? i think this entire issue could be avoided if the little skank would stop promoting herself as such. i can't wait until she turns 18 and i don't have to hear any more about this.

lmnop123 said...

Didn't millions of people view the video of R. Kelly and the "minor" having sex and getting peed on? Are all of those people guilty of pedophilia?

ms_wonderland said...

She's not a minor in most of the world.

Not seen the shot (not interested) but I bet this was as 'accidental' as Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

Patty said...

She showed it, then she should be liable for her actions. Don't blame the people who have the pictures, blame the skank who showed her underage parts, whether accidentally or on purpose. If it is illegal to show the pictures, then it should certainly be illegal to expose oneself in the public, as she did.

Ariel said...

She exposed herself completely deliberately! There is no way you can put on a white body suit and then spread your legs WIDE open and not expect to be exposed.
She new EXACTLY what she is doing.
And is now reaping the benefits of more free publicity.

kathrynnova said...

not to mention, this is totally downplaying the absolute seriousness of child porn.

also, if people are so worried about it being child porn, THEY SHOULD BE HARPING ON HER MANAGERS NOT ON SOME DUMB BLOGGERS!

THEY ARE THE ONES PROMOTING THE CHILD PORN BY APPROVING HER OUTFITS.

Lioness70 said...

At some point SHE has to take some responsibility for the crap she wears. It's clear that she doesn't want to and this is her way of breaking free of the Disney squeaky clean image.

What is it about Disney and sexuality? Almost every girl that's been churned out of their machine in the last decade or more has turned into or likes to look like trash. The boys are nothing but sex objects for underage girls. South Park nailed that brilliantly.

If my kids have to watch Disney, I try to steer them to the cartoons. Luckily, they like those much better than the live action shows.

jess said...

It's her fault by wearing such revealing outfits, the whole world can talk about it and a blogger can post a topic regarding the incident but to sell a picture is definitely child pr0n.

It doesn't matter if she has breasts and she's clearly not a child, being under 18 is being a child as far as the law goes. Reuters is SELLING it, they're making a profit of it and in my opinion it is child pr0n, even if Skanky Miley wore the outfit.

wonderdiva said...

Her parents let her pose for the cover of Vanity Fair without a shirt, this latest slip shouldn't shock us. Apparently there is some twisted effort to get Miley Cyrus to compete with Lady GaGa, and that is just sick. Her parents and management should have their asses kicked -- I'm sure Miley's head is so twisted right now that she thinks this stuff is OK.

But Reuters is playing right into the over-sexualization of minor females by running that photo, and they too should have their asses kicked for perpetuating this very disturbing trend.

nowwhat said...

Here's my problem with this- Cyrus is flashing the crowd and strip teasing the audience in which, I'm sure, there are young girl fans around the same age. There are also some men, young or not, watching this whole provocative foreplay and getting the idea that this girl wants it and therefore so do other young girls. Cyrus has body guards. So who is going to get groped, approached or worse? This happened many times to my friends and me at concerts when we were young and there were questionable guys in the crowd who were there to prey on the young girls in attendance. She is an asshole. I'd love to see her strut her stuff like this off the stage, alone and without muscle.

Jessica said...

For the record - Perez DID tweet this photo also.
He seriously has mental issues.

tflamb said...

One time, its shame on Paris. Two times its shame on Paris. Three times and many more its shame on Haley.

At this point if the girl insists on performing and wearing outfits that will show off her hoo-hah...then its pretty clear she is doing it on purpose and is enjoying the attention.

It seems the best thing to do for all involved is simply to not cover Haley at all...but we know that will not happen.

But yeah, getting a little tired of the "poor little minor" games in this case. This is so not a "for the children!!!!" moment. That shipped sailed after the third "slip" in so many days.

RocketQueen said...

Ugh, I agree with many of you - mainly kathrynnova and TraLaLa - that this is all Miley's doing. I'm not sure how much power her parents have anymore, and this is clearly a child with very little self-respect or understanding of how respect is earned. I'm utterly disgusted by Miley, and it's been building and building. Ditto to whoever said at least we'll get to stop hearing about her skank parade when she turns 18.

Becki said...

Mina I agree with you 100%. She is not a child and I wish everyone would get over it.

iheartjacksparrow said...

First, Miley is a minor in only 11 states in the U.S. (one of those being California). The others have an age of consent at 16 or 17 years. Second, this is solely on Miley. If she wants to wear something so revealing, with no underwear or body stocking or something to cover areas she doesn't want displayed, then too bad for her. And with all this talk about people being charged for child porn, about her being charged with indecent exposure?

I know some girls that developed really early. By the time they were 11 or 12, they already had breasts, they had gotten their periods, they had pubic hair. By the standards of some commenters here, that means that they were not children. So, say they were goofing around at the pool in the summer, and something accidentally slipped out (young people are not careful), someone took a picture and posted it on the internet. But it's OK because if you have breasts, you're automatically an adult? Huh. I'm glad I'm not a daughter of yours.

Now I agree that Miley is old enough to take responsibility for her outfits and stage performances, and I do think she's pretty skanky, and I wonder what the hell her parents are thinking or if they are just too busy trying to be the cool parents.

This may not be porn in our eyes, but that law ultimately exists to protect children. It's the law, and it's a law that needs to exist. It's pretty gross that Reuters would do this.

Sinjin said...

Hi Mina, I totally agree with you, except I don't think she'd be humiliated. I don't think she has that ability, some skanks just aren't born with that gene!

I TRULY believe this hillbilly butterface KNOWS EXACTLY and is deliberate in what she's doing when she flashes her bald possum, and the reaction she'll get. Did you see the video of that performance? At one point she approaches a male dancer on a bike and takes the widest stance she can and then squats (she could've popped out a baby!). I mean WTF was that?! When she came out and sashayed her ass up those stairs, I thought "OMG WTF, she's practically naked!"

In the pictures where she's wearing the white slut-mummy outfit, she's doing wide side kicks, it's amazing her bald possum didn't pop out in that shot like it did in the black outfit!

I call a skeez a skeez and be done with it. She cannot have it both ways! (a good rep and slutty outfits/behaviour!)

Fabulous! said...

only 6 months away from acting like a whore legally! go miley!

i just can't feel sympathy for her at this point. we cant say shes an innocent child, because she's the one intentionally destroying that innocence to get away from her disney image. i'm not saying it's all her fault, i am saying that she allows it to get worse and worse. if she cared about this stuff, she would have changed her ways after those "leaked" photos of her in her bra, in her shower, not wearing panties, blah blah blah. she's just being miley.

selenakyle said...

Looks like she got into the medicine cabinet and unwound all the adhesive tape.

And why the hell can't she wear undies when onstage? Answer me THAT.

amazonblue said...

The law is the law, she is still a minor flashing it for the world to see.
The bigwhigs at ICE need to pay her parents a visit. (ICE is the federal agency that oversees child pornography in the U.S.)
Miley's money-grubbing parents are obviously promoting/allowing the salaciousness of her performances. A nasty visit from a federal agency may actually make a difference in this case.
I know this happened up in Canada, but if the word got out that ICE was sniffing around, the bad press could really hurt her career.

jax said...

i'm sorry but the fucking gusset on her costume is WORLDS smaller than you'd see on Gaga,Rhinna and Xtina.
that's just fucking wrong.

this chick knows EXACTLY what's she's doing.

Meg said...

They probably shouldn't be publishing the photos....but she REALLY needs to stop wearing crotch exposing body suits and dresses and for the love of GOD wear some panties!

Ms Cool said...

I think I saw that photo. I saw some photo on MSNBC or somewhere over the weekend and thought something was off about it.

Miley needs some professional psychiatric help. Why on earth does she feel the need at 17 to expose herself so much? She gets so much attention, why does she need more? I really think the slut act is going to backfire. Or maybe I'm just hoping.

Oh, I also think that none of these photos should be published.

Majik said...

Miley Cyrus showing her hooey is NOT child pornography. Yes, she's under age...but she is NOT marketing herself as a teen anymore. If she was 12, hell ya...child porn. 17 and slutty to begin with? NOT child porn.

Child porn, imo, is about exploitation....she's not being exploited.

Merlin D. Bear said...

Leaving the child porn issues aside for a second, the facts of this are 1)Miley Cyrus (IMHO) deliberately flashed the audience and the media in an attempt to further distance herself from her Disney image and 2)this was done to generate the very firestorm we are engaged in now - (after all, there's no such thing as bad publicity, as long as they spell your name right).
With all that said, again IMHO, since this was a deliberate action on her part - after all, the one person who has ultimate costume approval is Cyrus herself, not her parents, not her stylist, not her publicist...but Miley Cyrus herself - therefore it's Cyrus who should be arrested/fined/publically disgraced for these actions, in addition to the media for promoting it.
And nothing says public castigation like boycott.
Anyone else with me?

devildana said...

She is trying to catch up with Linsanity. Miley go buy a fucking merkin and suck on it you already-washed-up-future-fucking someone in your own family whore. That goes for your mom too.

When the "female genitalia" changes, wake me. Until then, if you've seen one - you've seen them all.

Robert said...

Although chronologically a minor, in no way shape or form is Miley Cyrus a child. She's been in this business long enough to know exactly what she's doing, and if someone takes pictures of her while she's doing it (and getting paid huge sums of money for doing it,) is that wrong? To accuse photgraphers/bloggers of distributing child pornography over this incident is an insult to the true victims of that nightmare. Get real.

Mango said...

Merlin - I'm with you!

Forgive my dark soul but the thing that cracks me up is that the picture of her face is not at all flattering and I think that is what will really strike a cord with Miley. Her face looks puffy in that pic and that is going to bug the shit out of her. Not that she offended legions of people, but that she doesn't look like the vampy sex goddess she is imagining herself to be.

And Jesus, Billy Ray Jimmy Joe Jim Bob, put some pannies on your daughter! (Oh that's right; she's paying your mortgage. Never mind!)

wonderdiva said...

LOL @ Lisa (original)! Funny and so damn true.

Local Tourist said...

Fox edited the picture so you can't see her crotch.
