I don't really know what the problem is, Miley is in showbusiness and her job is to make sure that she stays in the limelight and stays "relevant". And it just happens that nowadays strap-ons and getting naked is the way to do it (in the US). Below are some other pics by Terry Richardson that Miley published recently (NSFW):

It's also completely irrelevant that Nina Hagen has done that before in the 80ies, most of Miley's fans weren't even born then & have never heard of Hagen. If it helps Miley sell records & create an interesting brand for herself, I say go for it.
I do find it fascinating though that this is what mainstream culture today looks like. I mean, Miley is one of the most mainstream music acts today. Instead of hating on that, though, I personally am more interested in finding a way to profit from it. I think there's a lot of business potential in female exhibitionism.
