Free The Nipple; Miley Thinks We Should

Miley Cyrus would like us all to "Free the Nipple."

On Wednesday (Dec. 11), the 21-year-old singer took to Twitter to support the "Free the Nipple" campaign by posting a photo of herself holding a large, fake nipple over her left eye.

The campaign was started by activists "appalled by [the] American media’s glorification of violence and repression of nudity," and it aims to "decriminalize the female body" and "protest the backwards censorship laws in the US," according to its Facebook page.

It's something Cyrus has spoken about before, as the singer has faced censorship in her own life.

"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching 'Breaking Bad' the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to," she told Rolling Stone in September. "And then they bleeped out the word 'f--k.' And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f--k'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'? Whatever."

I think they have a valid point. I once knew a lady who wouldn't let her kids watch R movies, but was fine with them watching movies killing and hacking people up.

Yes, this all centers on selective morality and much of it rooted in pure nonsense. Kids seem to always be on the cutting edge of societal change, while their grandparents or great grandparents strive to keep a lid on some forms of behavior, while at the same time being the biggest abusers.

I don't have a clue how media types keep a lid on their normal everyday language. The F bomb is as common as hello-goodbye, yet once the camera rolls the morality police go ape if a slip of the tongue occurs. Having a teen granddaughter has been a real eye opener for us. They don't act and say things to shock us, it's simply their language and their customs we are being exposed to. We can thank the Christians in our country for insisting on most of the laws and regulations along this line that restrict our behavior.
