I can understand the upset about this because this particular 15 year old, her parents, Disney, the media, the public, etc. have set her up as a ROLEMODEL, so I can see the problem, but it is a problem of particular values, and how they are being represented(or misrepresented), not a problem of 'pornography'
Exactly. I agree the picture is NOT porn, but it's certainly sexually suggestive. Nothing particularly shocking, even to a 15 year old, but I doubt 15 year olds are part of her fanbase. She's been marketed to appeal to the pre-teen crowd, and she's made millions doing it. Does she have a responsibility to all those little girls with the Hannah Montana posters, CDs, dolls and lunchboxes? I think she should. Or at the very least, she shouldn't have it both ways.
