Miley Cyrus is a brand.
Instead of scoffing at her and what she does like the Average Joe would, examine it from a marketer's point of view and find out what you can learn from what she and her team are doing right.
If anything, members of the industry should appreciate her for making sex (however you define it) more mainstream.
Would I like and agree with what she's doing as the father of a teenage girl? No.
Is this relevant from a strictly business point of view? No.
The ever so relevant question rears its head once again. Are you a hobbyist or a businessperson/entrepreneur?
Are you here to 'fuck around' or are you here for business? ;)

I see your point, but from a marketing perspective, what kind of message is she sending? I liken what she is doing to a commercial, how often have you seen a commercial for a product that just reeks of bad taste, is overtly obvious or seems desperate? When I see those, it makes me cringe. You may remember that commercial, but not necessarily the product that it was for. Sure it gets people talking about it (that old adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity) but that sort of fame is something that very few people will remember long term.
Then again, I'm not their target demographic, and perhaps the message that she sends does resonate with the younger generation. But I still believe that we wont be talking about her 10 years from now
