Now if Miley was in a movie and playing a teen who has sex for the first time complete with graphic scenes, that would be a better comparison.
I never said I thought the pics were horrible or anything, just that for her managers/parents to blame Vanity Fair & AL on anything is ridiculous when they had to sign off on it. Backpedaling.

I agree with your final point, pretty much completely.
I also agree that there isn't a direct comparison, but I think on the whole they are both indicative of a larger cultural/artistic meme that has existed since, well, at least the Renaissance. Probably forever.
