Cyrus's Shocking Performance on the VMAs

For those who have no idea about today’s singers, Miley Cyrus is a former Disney star who took a dramatic post-Disney turn to innuendos with foam fingers and butt-shaking everywhere you look. And no surprise- at the MTV VMAs, there were controversial acts thrown around like candy.

Over the last year or so, Miley Cyrus has chopped off her brown locks for a blonde spike cut, as more controversy arises among parents, celebrities, and the general public. Then again, most, if not all, pop stars do kooky acts for fame. Think about Lady Gaga’s over the top outfits and Justin Bieber's almost spitting on a fangirl.

At this year's VMAs, Miley Cyrus took the show by a landslide with her nearly NSFW act, which involved her summer hit "We Can’t Stop" and Robin Thicke’s  "Blurred Lines," before stripping into a barely-there nude-tone swimsuit and using a foam finger very inappropriately. Other antics displayed background dancers wearing bear fur suits resembling characters seen in Eastern animation and leaving barely anything to the viewer’s imagination.

Lisa Rinna, an actress, has compared Cyrus’s performance to Japanese smut (inappropriate images and/or videos). The Parents’ Television Council highly disapproves of Miley’s act and MTV these days, which has little music and lots of twerking and near-nudity.
