A Very Important List Of Celebrities Posing With Unlikely Animals
In tribute to Miley Cyrus's nude photoshoot with a pig, for Paper Magazine.
Overnight, Paper Mag announced the contents of their new Summer issue. Themed ‘Use Your Voice’ the magazine will be taking a contemplative look at the intersection of activism and creativity. There’ll be an interview with Al Gore about Live Earth 2015, a talk with Pharrell Williams about “why ‘Happy’ is a revolutionary song”, conversations with gay country music stars on their experiences in the traditionally conservative genre, and news from Miley Cyrus about her new advocacy and support nonprofit for LGBT youth.
It’s really compelling and complex stuff, but — because this is the same mag who wanted to break the internet with Kim K’s lubed-up butt — the cover takes a slightly more outrageous approach.
It’s naked Miley Cyrus. Covered in mud. Crouched over her outrageously happy pig. A pig whose name is Bubba Sue. Naturally, it’s made all of the headlines. But amidst all the excitement and/or condemnation, very few seem to acknowledge how standard this really is. This picture isn’t the result of Miley Cyrus being especially strange. This isn’t the isolated work of a particularly absurd magazine. For better or worse, this is just the way the world is.
