The uproar is likely due to the fact that her fan base is generally younger than she is. All the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus fans in my circle of family and friends are between the ages of 6 and 11. She must have older fans, but I think it's the preteens that make up the bulk. Therefore, whatever outrage these photos are generating is probably coming from the parents of young children.
As for Ms. Cyrus declaring she's not a kid, good luck with that. Hopefully she's taken a page from Mandy Moore and not Britney Spears.
