Give The Kid A Break

As you may have heard by now, Miley Cyrus has gone completely out of control. Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. I know, I know, she was recently TWERKING  (new word in Oxford dictionary) uncontrollably on national television. If you missed it, choose to see the video below, if you dare.

But guess what, it's SHOWBIZ! And, the MTV VMA Awards Show has always been scandalous. Remember the Britney & Madonna smooch years ago? And, even Lady Gaga was wearing next to nothing the other night. Oh, that's OK, she was not twerking Robin Thicke. Miley has grown up. She's not Hannah Montana. That's a fictional character. And, so is Twerker Miley on stage. If you don't like this form of entertainment, you don't need to be watching it. And,the same for allowing your kids.

I was watching another television show the other night. I don't watch the MTV VMA Awards. But, you know what. I'm not disgusted with Miley who has chosen the crazy world of celebrity. Sadly, she's only securing her future by daring to twerk out of the box. I'm disgusted with MTV VMA who approved it, Robin Thicke who loved it (and goes unscathed), and the fans who watched it. And, if you haven't noticed yet, the national networks (SHOCKER) also allow actual sexual intercourse scenes (under the covers) on television sitcoms these days.

But, it's nice to have a choice. And, for me and my house, I prefer the Oscars over the VMAs (I think they will always have class, I hope), dirty dancing over twerking (that's what it use to be called with maybe a lot less gyrations), and watching Lucy and Desi conversing before bedtime in their own twin bed. And even though Miley is choosing to push some HOT buttons at this time, she is still working (it) everyday, staying out of the court system, and (hopefully) moving on to higher things.

So why not, for now, just give the kid a break. BTW...what the heck was Robin Thicke thinking with that striped suit??? At least it was going horizontally.
