I really hate doing this, but I have to weigh in on Miley Cyrus. This media swarm and frenzy over her lately is massive. I'm just adding to the pile of worthless attention that we are giving her. But alas I'm fed up with our response to what she's doing. So I can be silent no more.
We have the fans and the haters. I am a hater. I'm ok with that. It seemed on my facebook feed after the Twerking incident that she had done something to change the world... are we overreacting a little bit here. We have two entertainers doing what they do best. Entertaining us. Consuming our attention. Giving us something to watch and talk about later. I'm not the one to judge if what she did was morally wrong or right, but it seems the general consensus was that she tarnished whatever clean image she had before.
But the act it self and pure raunchiness and her flaunting of sexuality paired with the all American good girl image that we were accustomed to seeing simply evaporated instantly when she took to the stage. This abrupt jostling of perception and method of forcing sexuality upon viewers is the cause of the attention.
But quite simply our society loves to see things crash and burn.
