You really can't underestimate the power of the Christian neo-conservative lobby in the US. They get more and more powerful by the day.
Last year Gallup did a survey of Americans on, "Who would you vote for to be President?"
Less than half indicated that they would be prepared to vote for an atheist president.
Do you need to be a christian neo-conservative to not approve of underage girls being photographed in a sensual maner?
It probably helps.

18 is the wrong age for the age of consent, but given that it is, the disapproval of the photograph is understandable. Besides, she's a 15 year old Disney actress, so she shouldn't be trying to look like she's ovulating. I don't think it's puritanical in the least.

I guess you'd have to find that image sexually arousing in the first instance in order to get offended by it. Damned Christian extremists!

You only need to be understand the intention of the picture to then be able to make a moral judgement, whether that be negative, positive or ambivalent. There will be many mothers and atheists who aren't fans of the picture.

I think the intention is to mark a girl becoming a woman - even the cover is a bit euphemistic (the "cover coming off" so to speak) - which was probably the photographers, and actresses intention all along. After all, a lot of these child actors find it hard to be seen as adult actors once they hit late teen (e.g. McCauley Culkin).
I can see you're point in terms of it being sexual, I guess I just viewed it more as an artistic expression of a girl hitting womanhood.
[Note: Just realised that's the gayest way anyone has ever described a naked woman]

LMAO. I love the way this thread managed to skid from "how immoral is this picture" to "how hot is this chick?". Kinda like the mental processes of the typical bloke as the beers roll by.
On the first question. It's clearly intended as a prevocative picture, and she's clearly very young. I can understand the fuss, and if she was my daughter I wouldn't be too amused and the photographer would need vasaline and forceps to get his camera back - and even then wouldn't want to hold it up to his face ever again.
On the second question. Yes, she's plainly a pretty little girl, and gonna be a real heartbreaker.
I'll say this. When I was 15 i'd have found this girl in the photo irresistable - to my 34 year old eyes she looks like a kid. When I was 15 i'd have found Sigourney Weaver, Andie McDowall or Michelle PfeiffHowTheHellDoYouSpellIt? far too old - now I think they're hot in an "experienced, elegant woman of the world" kinda way. Age is clearly relative, and 15 is too young for that kind of shot. It's NOT porn, but it clearly sexualises a very young girl who is very significantly below the age of concent in the country the photo was taken. Gotta draw the line somewhere, and that shot is mighty close to it.

It does to me. But I think that's what they want.
Googled the name...
She is the one bringing discovering her sexuality into public though, so also screams publicity stunt.
Google says this is from her myspace.
At the end of the day, someone said she is 15 years old. She will soon be 16 and legal then all of a sudden these pics would have been OK.
So with that being establish, the date on her birth certificate/age is the issue rather than the photo itself.
The law has drawn a line regarding the legality. IMO provocative type pictures of underage girls should be controlled.
When she is 16 then she can dress like a school girl just like Britney Spears.

not really, no come to bed eyes or anything. just naked back. You can see she's naked...but I don't think that in itself is sexual.

Exactly.
The US has an utterly warped view of kids. The same folk who are registering their disgust at that girl shamelessly exposing her back are probably the folks who dress up their daughters like this:

Is that not a generalisation a bit too far?
You could argue that both are morally wrong (the naked back picture and the beauty pagents). I think people should argue it, cos if no one ever says anything, people will just keep crossing the line even more. If no one complains about her naked back, what next?

Thats the main issue, although I don't think her naked back is an issue it's the context of the photo.
