Related: About this forumConservative group "Culture and Media Institute" slams Miley Cyrus for swooning over penis cake
A right-wing watchdog group is not impressed with singer, actress and former Disney star Miley Cyrus' recent behavior.
The Culture and Media Institute, which aims to "preserve and help restore America's culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media elite," is calling out the 19-year-old star for photos obtained by TMZ that showed Cyrus posing suggestively with a penis-shaped cake at her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's birthday party.
The group is calling Miley's behavior "disgusting" and says she's "become the epitome of the anti-role model for young girls." It's not the first time the group has criticized Miley -- in 2010 they slammed her video for "Can't Be Tamed" and dubbed her responsible for "Miley Cyrus Effect," which causes "young girls to act like trashy adults."
But Cyrus is just one part of the problem according to CMI, which is also blasting Hollywood in general -- claiming it's promoting bad and sleazy behavior in women, singling out Kirsten Dunst and Lizzy Caplan's new film "Bachelorette," about sex-filled pre-wedding weekend. The film has garnered ton of buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, for its female centric raunchy humor and labelled as the next "Bridesmaids."

OP
I'm guessing the fact that it was a black penis cake might have something to do with this.

What's more heterosexual and traditional than that, i thought they'd be happy. You just can't please some people.
