Miley Cyrus and Condoms

She's encouraging people to have safe sex and she's getting $1 Million. I don't see what's wrong with this.
 
I agree, in the end it is up to the parents to steer the child in the right way, but then again don't teens try to rebel as much as possible against their parents? Just a thought.
Ours never have, but then we don't define "rebel" as just any kind of conflict. Sure we have our differences of opinion, but in the end the kids all accept our parental authority, as we respect their rights and even needs top grow and mature and find their own way more and more. With our oldest, we have had a row over one aspect but in now way does it define a pattern of behavior. So no... they haven't tried to rebel as much as possible.
 
Damn, just how bad does she want out of her contract with Disney? They'll cut her loose soon enough. It has to be what she wants. No way you'll convince me otherwise.

It's a problem if you are actively parenting your kids as opposed to letting Hollywood or whoever do it for you - and trying to instill a certain moral code. Hopefully, the groundwork you as a parent have laid won't be adversely affected by what some celebrity says... but it still gets markedly more difficult when those celebrities do take on such roles this.

Well, this ad only affects your kids if they were planning to have sex. Now they'll have sex using a lifestyles condom. If they weren't, I honestly don't believe any ad will change their mind.
 
Most teens want to or DO have sex. Knowing this, and being aware of her own influence especially among girls, encouraging safe sex practices is a good, responsible thing for her to do. I agree with Trekker.

...and I would also hit it (once she's legal). Girls become hot at or slightly before puberty. There's nothing at all wrong with window shopping between then and when they hit 16.
 
Some people to, I dunno, "parent" them so commercials and pop stars didn't have to.

Poorly parented teens do. I certainly never did and neither did my brother.

We respects and loved our parents and, to an extent, "feared" them because we knew the consequences.

A properly parented and guided teen will have no reason to rebel.
 
Young girls probably look up to Miley Cyrus.

There's no chance of her actually accepting this deal, but it would have a positive influence I think.

Promotion of safe sex is a good thing.
 
Disney wouldn't like it because too many Americans are idiots when it comes to this kind of thing. That said, fifteen is not too young to be a "spokesperson" for contraception.

The reality, of course, is that this would simply be a celebrity endorsement deal.
 
Just look at the lyrics of Miley's song, "Breakout."

Every weeks the same
Stuck in school so lame
My parents say that im lazy
Getting up at 8 is crazy

Time in school, what to do
Do unfair
So uncool

Days too long
And im holding on
Till I hear the bell ring

Cuz it's the time when
The time when

Were gonna Breakout
Let the party start
Were gonna stay out
Gonna break some hearts

Were gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh oh, all over again.
Were gonna wakeup everyone we know
Were gonna have some fun, gonna loose control

Feels so good, to let go-oh-oh.

Hangout, its something we like to do
With my friends, every mess were into HA
These are the last songs that we chose
None of them are here to remember you

Days too long
And im holding on
Till I hear the bell ring

Cuz it's the time when
The time when

Were gonna Breakout
Let the party start
Were gonna stay out
Gonna break some hearts
Were gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh oh, all over again.
Were gonna wakeup everyone we know
Were gonna have some fun, gonna loose control

Feels so good, to let go-oh-oh.

I wish it would never end,
Spending time with my friends.
Oh with my friends!

Breakout
Let the party start
Were gonna stay out
Gonna break some hearts
Were gonna dance till the dance floor falls apart
Uh oh, all over again.
Were gonna wakeup everyone we know
Were gonna have some fun, gonna loose control

Feels so good, to let go!

Breakout

And people pay money for this?

Wow. America must be full of parents grinding their teeth.
 
if 15 y/os are having sex, want to have sex, and like having sex... then how is a 15 year old too young to promote safe contraception? Makes no damn sense. Unless of course you just can't accept that 15 year old is just about the age where you get deliriously horny.
 
I'm 23 and I feel uncomfortable with the fact that I do find her very attractive. But while she's young and Disney DEFINITELY won't like this, I think this is a smart move. She's arguably the most popular girl on the planet right now and tweens and teens idolize her. Having her promote condom use will get them listening. Most teens today start having sex around 14 or 15 anyway.
 
Seems like most are missing the little detail that Condom Company is getting free publicity for saying THEY want Miley Cyrus to hawk their product. Nowhere does it say she is even interested or has even been asked.

Glad I'm not the only one who clicked on the link. ;) Clever way to stir up publicity and get the name of their product out there!
 
Miley Cyrus+Condoms=One fantastic evening!
