<p>I don’t see the problem…it’s not going to be a rundown of dates and facts about Miley’s childhood, it’s going to use her as a case study for legitimate issues: “topics as gender, race, class, fame and power.” Why not?</p>

<p>Eh, I always read that they just give them controversial names so people will sign up for them. </p>
