Miley censored......

Have to say, I've always felt kind of lost everytime this topic comes around. Everyone always talks about it with a global scope, covering important issues like gender roles or discrimination but I can never take it at more than at face value because for all its problems these kind of stuff is just bloody stupid.

I mean, you could write about the implications of the dolled-up women who show up in The Wheel of Fortune but it's such a desperate attempt to pander that I find it adolescent and funny. It's like those times characters in a TV show yell "Quick, get into my Kia" and drink Coke onscreen. It's fucking dumb, that's what it is. It's like a thief trying to rob a bank with a spoon and finding the act henious. Of course it's a crime, but that's not the issue here.

If you want to see boobies, you can see better ones with Google. Why even bother with panty shots and controversial music stars that are as radical as flipping the bird to old ladies and buying Apple products?

I just don't understand this, man.

If she corrected his pitch by raising it one or more whole octaves, he would still be off-key.

One would think Miley's agent should know this.

Oh yes, humanities departments across the USA are having a field day with this.

It is an ideal way for them to publicise their theories, but they are in fact merely contributing to sensational news reporting.

If this were true, would he let her on stage?

The problem with Miley's performance is that it simply wasn't good. It was barely technically proficient. I got the impression that she was sticking her tongue out because her dance coach told her to stop mouthing "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8..." I've seen dance recitals with more authenticity and heart.

SuperflyTNT wrote: NEWS FLASH:

Miley Cyrus' agent has released the following statement regarding her performance at the VMA's:

"Miley was not trying to be lewd, but was in fact attempting to do two things:
- Determine just how Thicke Robin actually is, to deter false advertising.
- To attempt to crush his testicles in the hopes that his voice would raise a few octaves in order to correct his pitch, since he was so terribly off-key

There has been a lot of internet vitriol and hate, but this is all a misunderstanding. My client is not "skanky" or "slutty", she was simply trying to save the performance from Mr. Thicke's horrible singing as well as quantify his girth."


HA! Thanks for that laugh.

Anybody seen that photo they superimposed of Miley with Alec Baldwin? So good.

Shellie nailed it: It wasn't that she acted like a person suffing a stroke, it's that she sounded like it. And Thicke was just as bad. When auto tune can't fix you, ther's something terribly wrong going on.

That's not fair. Those kids at the recital aren't coked up and full of Johnny Walker Red. They have an unfair advantage.
