Make a Move for Miley

I just read a blog post entitled "I weep for Miley." The author lamented Miley Cyrus' downward spiral and the degradation of our culture. It's a topic that has been on my mind since seeing the news coverage of the VMAs and a story about Simon Cowell's love child with the wife of his friend. 

What I appreciated about the piece was that the author "credited" the entertainment industry, producers, choreographers, advertisers and even viewers for the gradual acceptance of the type of dancing, lyrics, gestures, and costuming people are criticizing Miley Cyrus for. 

I was shocked when I heard a news anchor justify Simon's actions and the photos taken of the couple with the phrase, "but he's in love."

There were people along the path to production who could have held themselves, and these shows, to higher standards. 

It's up to every one of us to stop buying products (tv, movies, cable, clothing, cell phones, magazines) that sexualize children and promote the objectification of women. It's up to us to MOVE. 

Jesus gave the example when he drew a line in the sand. Love the sinner..hate the sin...and stand up against injustice. 

Get off the couch people and please, stop pointing at Miley Cyrus. Her performance didn't deserve a first, let alone, a second glance.
