The sad part is how many misguided people blame the black community, or "black music" for it .. when in reality, it's everywhere.

Is it wrong that the tongue is the part that offended me the most about her performance?

haha. trying too hard is always offensive.

[kytwell 179]

I didn't watch it live. I have seen it since then though. IMHO I think the performance would not have been so offensive if it was actually a good looking woman with a nice body doing the dance.

Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Silk, Jodeci, R. Kelly, Marvin Sease(whom I think is excellent), Keith Sweat and countless others they all have sang about getting some in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Lil Kim, Khia, Foxy Brown on the woman side have too.

Otis Redding sang Too Hard to Handle back before he died the Black Crowes redid it later in the 90's.

Tommy James- My baby does the Hanky panky from the 60's.

Even Trace Adkins the country guy sang about the Honky tonk bedonkadonk.

If you don't like it change the station. You don't want to see outrageous DVR it and watch later, so you can skip over.

Anyway I'd rather my kids be doing it like bunnies, than using drugs or killing strangers for sport. It's a more natural act.

Ahh, the old "if you don't like it don't listen to it" argument.

Unfortunately (and I mean that), this was plastered on every news channel, every internet site and every facebook from here to kingdom come. How can you NOT see it/hear it? Silly.

Also, Miley, whether she likes it or not, is a role model for our young female generation. Now you can say that your kids are "above her" and "would never be into someone like her" and that's great for you. The majority of American girls look at Miley and her other overtly sexual/intoxicated counterparts and gather that this sort of behavior is what garners attention from men, and everyone else.

And as for your bit, Miley was clearly intoxicated. Sex, drugs and "rock n roll" BRO.

36 and 20 is normal.

46 and 20 begins to become a little weird.

56 and 20 is definitely abnormal.

66 and 20? shoot the 66 year old, he's embarrassing us all.

You'd never make it in the pi forums.

Sh*t like this is why I think I'm better off not having kids. But I liked what this lady had to say:

Miley Cyrus Really Is the Girl Next Door: Predictable and Boring

Hannah Montana’s double life? Maybe her real secret is that she has nothing original to say.

By Susan Gregory Thomas Aug. 26, 2013

Several years ago, my daughters and I launched a neighborhood boycott of Miley Cyrus. The teenage star that Disney had marketed as the thoughtful, ethically upright, regular girl with the secret superstar identity had been caught on camera with her friends doing “Chinc-y eyes” to tease a buddy. My daughters, who are Asian-American and subject to almost daily forms of this type of banal racism, weren’t just upset by Cyrus’s thoughtless gesture but that she’d done it, as she later said in an apology, because, essentially, that’s what everyone else was doing.

And, as her “break-out” performance at last night’s MTV’s Video Music Awards at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center revealed, she obviously just can’t stop. Miley Cyrus, at 20, is still a copycat.

Tweet to Miley: Busting out of a racy leotard to flash a flesh-toned get-up is old enough to be your mother. Madonna, Britney, Gaga—not to mention decades of 1980s New York performance artists and 70s Studio 54 acts—have all done it. But this, from the Disney branded girl-next-door?

Actually, it makes sense. After all, the only twist Cyrus brought to Sunday night’s big reveal was a standard fare, learned-it-at-the-gym pole-dance routine, not a provocative, well-choreographed statement. And who is the girl-next-door, if not someone who falls in line with the pack, does what everyone else is doing? That’s her whole appeal. That girl, as she becomes a young woman, is never going to do anything truly dangerous or outrageous—nothing that crosses the lines of her suburban sub-division box. At most, she’ll go to the costume party dressed as a Playboy Bunny. That’s exactly what Cyrus did.

The big question now is, what are the hidden contents of Hannah Montana’s double life? Maybe her real secret identity is that she’s a follower, rather than a leader—that she’s truly the girl next door, morally and creatively banal, as to be expected.

i think that says a lot about the cultural environment that we have our kids in, one where nothing is shocking and offensiveness is boring and yet it's still mass produced, marketed heavily, and quietly consumed with little more than bored internet "outrage".
