Sinead O'Connor pens open letter to Miley Cyrus
Entertainment Weekly ^ | 10/03/2013 | Grady Smith

I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way “cool” to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it’s the music business or yourself doing the pimping.

You ought be protected as a precious young lady by anyone in your employ and anyone around you, including you. This is a dangerous world. We don’t encourage our daughters to walk around naked in it because it makes them pray [sic] for animals and less than animals...

Whether we like it or not, us females in the industry are role models and as such we have to be extremely careful what messages we send to other women. The message you keep sending is that its somehow cool to be prostituted.. its so not cool Miley.. its dangerous. Women are to be valued for so much more than their sexuality. we aren’t merely objects of desire.

Sh wrote that Miley Cyru had enough talent that she did not have to prostitute herself.

I am sorry but I disagree. She has very little talent and she isn’t sexy enough to make it as a prostitute.

This won’t end well - the last three (or more) attempts to post it ended up with the mods pulling the thread.

THIS Sinead O'Connor???...."Fight the REAL enemy", she cried into the microphone and TV camera...and from out of nowhere she whipped out a photo of Pope John Paul II and tore it into pieces.

She's a loon....plus if she really wanted to show "feminine leadership" she'd enroll in a course teaching basic English, grammar and punctuation.

Her singing career has been flat ever since her bald-headed rage on stage....and we shouldn't be surprised she'd pull something like this "open letter" to Cyrus to vault herself into the headlines again.

great advice coming from a person who shaved here head ripped up a picture of the pope and flaunts her lesbian propensity to draw attention to herself. Can anyone here name two songs she has had in the top 20. lets face it Sinead, the sexy thing wasn’t an option for you.

Not to mention the fact that she seems mentally ill.

Sinead O’Connor wrote a nice letter to Miley Cyrus but ruined it with poor grammar. It produces just the opposite effect that it intended:

naked daughters praying for animals

It’s like some sort of disgusting ritual.

Sinead

I remember my dad using this illustration in a sermon to show God's love for us...
two farmers were talking across the fence about the latest outrage one of their sons had just done, once again breaking his father's heart. The other farmer said, “if he was my son I'd kick him out of the house.” The other farmer thought for a moment and said, “If he was your son I guess I'd kick him out too.”

“I don’t care how hormonal or peer-ridiculed/encouraged one could be, there is no other explanation for the deluded and atrocious behavior she has exhibited.”

Sure there is another explanation: it works. Worked for Madonna, worked for Britney Spears, worked for Cristina Aguilera, etc, etc.

What makes you so sure you’re correct? That parents can’t direct how their kids will live? The notion that exterior forces will lead kids away from their upbringing is a self fulfilling prophecy. The Bible is full of wisdom, which applied in even the smallest way, will ensure successful parenting.

(and some of the language is NSFW),

Just what does that cute little acronym mean?

Does it mean "Not Suitable for Whores"?

Or does it mean something that might be useful were it written out?

Because I lived this. Please don’t pull the “god” card here. We don’t all have the benefit of being divinely protected from all things.

Let me correct your statement for you.

The messenger is flawed (and some of the language is NSFW), but I agree with the message. Women People should not be treated as mere sex objects. The way so many show-business women present themselves is not what God intended, and it sends a horrible message to impressionable young girls kids. We must protect our daughters offspring from the images and behaviors they see from so many pop stars , actors, and actresses.

There it is without the political correctness and inappropriate double standards which pretend that a Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears is sad but a Justin Beiber is not a cookie cutter replica with different plumbing.

How did that work out for the first Father? Adam & Eve blew it big time, even though they had an intimate relationship with God, walking with Him in the cool of the evening.

NSFW= Not Safe For Work

As in, if your supervisor was reading over your shoulder, the kind of language (or visual) might earn you a trip to the HR Department for disciplinary action.
