CAN’T BE TAMED: The Story Of Every 17 Year-Old Girl Ever

Miley Cyrus has done it again. First with her controversial Vanity Fair photo shoot and now with the cover art for her latest album titled, Can't Be Tamed. Can't be tamed is right, she's 17! And while the cover might be a little risque, she's fast embarking on adulthood, only paced faster because of her publicized life. She's wearing leather and showing her midriff, could be worse. Considering all the things she could be doing, a la Lindsay Lohan, Miley is as tame as a baby kitten. She's certainly not the lioness her record company wants to make her out to be. Now I'm sure that much like the Vanity Fair cover, this cover art will probably be scrutinized and analyzed but I'd just like you all to remember this. She's 17! "But MissBleecker, she's just 17, how could she?" Um... I don't know, think back to when you were 17 and everything you did. Think about everything you did that wasn't on the cover of an album? We all know teenagers are wild and rebellious and a bit dramatic. I AM NOT DRAMATIC!!! Sure you're not. But in all seriousness, she's a young woman, if the argument is that she's going to be a role model for young women and she's representing a sexualized version of teenaged girls then I say to you, she's 17 and last time I checked most people become sexually active at the age of 16. Sorry parents if you're worried about your kids having sex because of Miley they probably already are. Also, as I seem to recall the Virgin Crew from the late 90s/early 00s didn't do much saving room for Jesus either, if you know what I mean. And look at how they turned out! Not a great example, but you get the picture.
