Miley Cyrus lewdness shocks, stuns VMA crowd

Members of the sophisticated show business audience at the MTV VMA’s Sunday night were clearly shocked and embarrassed by the lewdness of the Miley Cyrus performance with Robin Thicke. Above, Will Smith and his family respond variously with looks of dismay and bewilderment. One wonders, should these kids be there? It was not the only example of distress by the audience. Some might call the Miley Cyrus act pornographic. It was certainly raunchy. Will this unsavoury performance work for her? One critic has crowned her fleshy twerking with the superlative of superlatives — clusterfantastic. Don’t ask. We’ve embedded the video from the CBC on a separate page called Miley (link above) and it is fairly graphic so be your own bad taste control board. Twerking by the way is a stripping term meaning more or less to jiggle everything, says Wikipedia.
