Disney China Makes Miley Cyrus Look Like A Mormon

For all the kerfluffle over Miley “Hanna Montana” Cyrus’ Vanity Fair spread, it’s downright wholesome compared to a campaign that’s popped up on Beijing billboards for Disney underwear. To be fair, the ads aren’t quite at that Victoria’s Secret level of titillating, but it’s still quite disconcerting and disturbing to see girls that look to be 12-13 posing in their skivvies. The billboard on the Slate site is probably the most mild, actually - TMZ has an entire photo shoot that has a grimy, over-airbrushed, near kiddie porn feel to it. Apparently Disney’s China licensing company simply runs their own game without clearing things with Disney corporate, and this is the end result. I have a feeling that freedom is about to go away pretty damn quick, especially with the Olympics coming up.

Very nice. More hypocrisy. Disney is making a problem out of nothing. They’re putting one of the young celebrities they own into a dispute over.. what?
It’s freaking Annie Liebowitz. One of the most noted portrait photographers today, a living master of the art. Does anyone in this country appreciate art? This isn’t even Janet Jackson in the Super Bowl. This wasn’t even cosmo girl or something. This was a mature and tasteful fashion shoot in Vanity Fair.
