Pop Culture Corner: Does Anybody Really Care About Racy Leaked Pics?


Ho hum, another day, another set of leaked photos of underage poptart Miley Cyrus letting her freak flag fly.



Fox News (of course) just can't get enough jailbait



Whether it's compromising photos of Cyrus, other-Disney princess Vanessa Hugens, or the indiscretions of over-21's like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, or whoever, the media and by association the public never seem to get tired of making dramatic *gasps* and then saying in a stage whisper "Can you believe it?" All the while running the images over, and over and over. Hypocrisy used to be the tribute that vice pays to virtue, now it's a way to chase ratings by running underage nudie pics on Network TV.



The media always acts so shocked when celebrities prove that they're as capable of being drunk, horny, or just plain thoughtless as anyone else.



There was a time when it was easier for celebs to stay on their pedestals. I have to wonder: if the apex of their careers had been in a time of 24-hour gossip news channels, the Internet, tabloid bloggers, and (most importantly) camera phones, would Doris Day have been able to maintain her squeaky clean image, or would Rock Hudson have managed to stay in the closet? I have my doubts.

Madonna once said that you're a nobody until Weird Al Yankovic did one of your songs.

Now, thanks to YouTube, mockery has been democratized.

Pop Culture Corner: Britney Spears new video "Gimme More"

Comeback Track, or Awkward, Embarrassing Cry for Attention Help?

You be the judge:





It's hard to tell if the imagery in the video that mirrors her public displays of bizarre behavior is unintentionally hilarious, or cynically calculated to prey on her notoriety for acting in ways that could be characterized as batshit crazy.

Either way, this has to be one of the most remarkable low watermarks ever in any celebutard's career.
