Miley Cyrus's "Can't Be Tamed"

The debut of Miley Cyrus's new music video "Can't be Tamed" is a blow to all who still considered her a sweet young role model.

The video begins at a museum, where an announcer stands in front of a giant birdcage covered with an elaborate curtain. The large, late-19th-century genteel crowd peers on as the announcer reveals "Avus Cyrus." The curtain rises. Miley Cyrus, in a very tight, revealing little black leather outfit, steps up to face the crowd. At the crowd's cheers, Miley covers her entire body with her giant black wings--then decides to pack the wings away and break out the dance moves. During the course of the video, many inappropriate shots are shown in rapid-fire order. So much for innocent little Miley.

I have to say, however, that I'm not surprised. In fact, when Miley announced she was quitting Hannah Montana, she also announced that she wanted to become more active as...well, let's just say, a symbol of something none of us want her to advocate. She stars in the next Sex and the City movie, she's endorsed the inappropriate pictures released during her Hannah Montana stardom, she's cheated on her boyfriend, and she seemed to have no qualms about filming the (in my opinion, equally-inappropriate) music video for "Party in the USA."

In short, don't expect too much from role-model Miley at this stage in her life. Actually, don't expect anything; just pray for her.
