In Case You Missed It, @MileyCyrus Got Super-Skanky on the VMAs Last Night

Posted on | August 26, 2013 | 217 Comments

Of course, I didn’t watch MTV’s Video Music Awards, but the morning news shows were running . . . er, highlights of her performance, from which I gather that the name of her latest hit song is, “Do Me in the Butt, Total Stranger, Because I Need Money to Get Me Some Meth.”

OK, I’m hat-tipping Ace of Spades for that joke, because that’s what Ace would have said circa 2006, before he got all “respectable” and stuff. The inspiration lives on. Anyway . . .

How skanky was Miley Cyrus last night? Mika Brzezinksi felt the need to condemn it as “disturbing,” because Mika would never let a total stranger do her in the butt, not even if she needed some meth.

Mika’s not working on a Masters degree in Gender Studies, however, and doesn’t understand how 21st-century pro-sex feminism regards this whole “do me in the butt” thing as empowerment.

Da Tech Guy has some relevant thoughts, none of which involve the phrase “do me in the butt,” for which I’m sure you’re grateful.

UPDATE: Can I pick ’em, or what?

Apparently, linking to the “about” page on @Andria_XX‘s blog constitutes harassment. The real problem, however, is that when you’re living inside an intellectual cocoon — and if a graduate program in Gender Studies doesn’t fit that description, what does? — you’re not accustomed to being directly criticized, let alone ridiculed as a nincompoop, and you may actually forget that the secondhand radical ideology you’re being spoon-fed is controversial out in the real world.

UPDATE II: Aannnnddd she just switched her account to protected status, an experience which I’m sure she’ll blame on the patriarchy.

UPDATE III: Blame where blame is due:

Hats off to SooperMexican, who spotted Andria’s Tweet, and to Zilla Stevenson who realized I needed to see it, and I think there was An Army of Heteropatriarchal Davids who spontaneously decided that Andria deserved Dumbest Person on Twitter recognition.

    I heard that a lot of colleges have done away with tenure now and have gone to a contract system. But ivy league schools still use it.

    Something that’s been bothering me…haven’t several teen stars from Disney gone completely off the rails lately? Is there something in the water down there or what?

    Child actors have always been subject to molestation much more often than we’d like (“The Coreys”, “Nellie Olson”, etc) and I’ve read (to be honest, it was on the Blind Gossip website…) that the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have had that problem worse than most other channels.

    Walt Disney died. That made a big difference, although the problem of child stars existed despite his presence.

    He just helped them avoid it as much as possible.

    Fame is allowed to be a drug. It ought to be avoided, even if you are a stellar performer.

    It is avoidable. Once your past the superstar curve even a little bit, all you have to do is just behave and dress like a normal person for a few years. Then the press forgets about you. But child actors are always trying to prove themselves I guess.

    That’s kind of what I mean. I’m more creeped out by scholastics defending Cyrus than I am by what the non-scholars get up to. It’s like being smart enough to avoid cesspools because of potential bacteria, but finding out the “clean areas” are full of some deadly virus.

    All kidding aside, sinful man can not abide the physical presence of a Holy God. He will die like he’s been pole axed. Only Christ can make you fit to stand in His presence, and that starts on your knees before Him acknowledging yourself as a sinner and Him as Lord and Savior. Yield to Him, and He will take it from there.
    There are only two eternal destinations, with Christ for eternity, or alone for all eternity in the lake of fire. The lake of fire is everything heaven is not.

    Thanks for the shoutout, Stacy! I was offline dealing with my medical horrors after I sent you that RT of Soop’s, so I had no knowledge about any of this craziness and am just trying to catch up & sort it out now. I’m going to go read your other post on this next, but y’all can check my Twitter to see how I handled being directly, falsely, and publicly called a “cyberbully” over 1 lil tweet to Stacy.

    I honestly do not think she is a bad person, I think she misunderstands how social media works though. Since my lil RT to Stacy set this all hilariously into motion and then I missed all the excitement, I felt a little bad for inadvertently causing that lady so much commotion, so after I said my peace and corrected her incorrect assumptions about me, I wished her well and I will henceforth leave her in peace – if she doesn’t publish any more factually incorrect statements about me.
