Is Miley A Role Model?

Some criticism of Miley’s new movie certainly makes sense, after all, it’s about a character named Miley Stewart who’s on-screen dad is actually her real dad, and let’s not forget that it’s about a pop star acting like a diva. And remember news earlier this year about one death on the set of the movie? (Which Miley didn’t have anything to say about.)

But in this MSN article , author Martha Brockenbrough counts the amount of ways Miley has, essentially, screwed up and proven herself to NOT be a good role model. Such as:

-That time she was spotted parking in a handicap spot when buying milkshakes

-That other time she posed nude in her underwear and took pictures on her cell phone (I’ve found that when you Google ImageSearch her name the first 4 results are of her in her underwear and one in her bathtub with her friends.)

-And remember that time she made slanted eyes with her Asian friend in a photograph

-And that one picture with her friend and the lollipop. (Okay, I added that one in there. But I’m pretty disgusted by that.)

In the end Martha criticizes the “she’s just a kid” excuse, because “The idea that all kids do this sort of thing is absurd.”

What do you think? Is Miley ever a good role model? How do you think Miley will turn out when she’s (Ugh…) older? Was Martha too quick to criticize Miley’s Movie?
