A Tasteless Cup



Yeah...it was kinda of like this.
 And poor Will Smith's children may need serious THERAPY.

In case you missed it Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) re-branded herself recently at the MVA...and not in a good way

There is a time and place...and this was NEITHER.

It was a moment when...although I neither care for Billy Ray Cyrus or his music...I felt really sorry for the guy as a parent.

 I also believe if he had walked onstage during her...er..."twerking"...or performance...or whatever-the-hell THAT was suppose to be...and grabbed her by the ear dragging her offstage...he would have received a standing ovation.

Lest you shake your head and think I am a prude...years before a very successful Nursing Career...I was a stripper. It takes a LOT to shock or disgust me.  Not only is Ms. Cyrus decidedly unsexy...including that whole cow-tongue thing...but incorporating the Teddy Bears was creepy...like pedophile creepy.

Hon...when an ex-stripper tells you that what you've done is offensive...trust me...it's offensive.

Kind of waiting to see what Disney...and some of her other sponsors do now.
Walmart, for crum's sake.

Take a Moment and reflect on THAT.

How tacky do you have to be to be too tacky for Walmart????

And yes...I know in the grand scheme of things...in "the big picture"...the worldview...this pales.

We've teens who (recently) killed people out of boredom or for sport...we've an 8 year old who shot and killed his grandmother after an afternoon of playing Grand Theft Auto...we've 1,300 Syrians who are dead thanks to chemical warfare and we are dealing with the debt ceiling and threats of shutting down the government.

The difference? Why does it matter?

This was suppose to be entertainment. Our escape.

Unfortunately, it was neither.
