For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Hannah Montana in the buff?

Pop star and 15-year-old Disney sensation MILEY CYRUS tells ET she's "embarrassed" about an upcoming photograph of her appearing semi-topless in the new Vanity Fair issue. "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she tells ET. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

If you have kids, you know who this girl is. Estimates put this "franchise" at the $1 billion level. Yes, with a "B".

What the heck were these parents thinking? This is a 15-year-old girl. They certainly didn't do this for money, because they're all becoming filthy rich off her. How did they let this happen, what does this say about our society, and do you care at all about what this girl does?
