Giraffe does his Miley Cyrus impersonation

[Clothahump]

[claudius]

Which one is Giraffe?

[Chacoguy]

Yeah, they both got bumps on their heads.

[eleanorigby]

I'd say the one on the right is cuter.

[claudius]

Where's the damn suck up smillie?

[Fresh White Sneakers]

miley finer than a mug!

[stormie]

Where's the poll? This is one of those 'who wore it better' threads, right?

[SmartAleq]

More like a "separated at birth" thing.

[Wolf Larsen]

Billy Ray must be contemplating suicide right about now.

[KidVermicious]

Why? She's kept his career alive.

[Wolf Larsen]

His net worth is estimated at 50-150 million. I doubt he values a little extra career at the price of watching his daughter turn into Lindsay Lohan. Think Miley will go 10 years without rehab?

Actually he took it pretty well: "Of course I'll always be here for Miley. Can't wait [to] see her when she gets home. She's still my little girl and I'm still her dad regardless how this circus we call show business plays out. I love her unconditionally and that will never change."

[Little Nemo]

But on a less serious note, what is the deal with the tongue? I'm an old fart so I don't know these things. Is this something teenage girls do now when they're getting their picture taken? Or is it just a Miley Cyrus thing?

This post and this review of her new song sum it up pretty nicely.

TLDR version: She's trying to be shocking and shed her Disney channel teeny-bopper image without actually doing anything really out there. Just a deliberate move to attempt to stay popular without alienating anyone.

Yeah, I understand the part where she dances around in her underwear and rubs her butt against Robin Thicke and grabs her back-up dancers. What I'm confused by is the "stick your tongue out of your mouth sideways" thing - is it supposed to be sexy? I'm mean if she was licking the microphone or something, it would be sexual. But the tongue look seems to be aiming the opposite way - more "look at me, I'm being wacky" than "look at me, I'm being sexy".

[Revs]

I think you're looking too deeply into this. Its just an attempt to rebrand Cyrus in the safest way possible. I can imagine one of her handlers looking at old pictures of Johnny Rotten & Sid Vicious sticking their tounges out then thinking " those Sexy Pistols sure got a lot of press back in the day. Miley, be sure to stick your tongue out on stage, especially if you're looking at a camera."

[Orkan Man]

Hmmmm. Tongue.

Maybe next she'll start barfing blood like Gene Simmons in the 1970s KISS days.

Or pull an Ozzie and chow down on a bat.

[Diamonds02]

She was probably high. I sometimes go to hipster parties. Whenever the chicks get high as a kite, they start taking pictures with their tongues hanging out. Srsly.

[SmartAleq]

Yeah, that looks a lot like X-face. The tongue gets a little out of control when you take enough club drugs. Let's just change her name to Molly and have done with it.

"It's a damn shame that Miley is doing this to herself, making a vulgar joke out of her talents and her beauty, but it's a much bigger shame that she's doing it to her young fans and other young people (who) see her in the media," said Heidi Cardenas, a mom of two teenage boys, in response to a request for comment on CNN's Facebook page. "It's the same thing as going to any street corner in America and selling herself for money" said Cardenas.

Ten cents a dance
that's what they pay me,
gosh, how they weigh me down!
Ten cents a dance
pansies and rough guys
tough guys who tear my gown!

Creator of the iconic foam "No. 1 hand" Steve Chmlear won't be cheering in the front row of a Miley Cyrus concert any time soon. Commonly used among sports fans to root for their idols, the foam finger was recently used by Cyrus a prop during her controversial MTV Video Music Awards performance.

"She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it," said Chmlear in an interview with FoxSports this week. "If I had a choice between Julie Andrews singing 'The Sound of Music' and Miley Cyrus doing 'Can't Stop,' I'd go the Julie Andrews route."

I don't blame him. The prop was viewed with tremendous integrity before this. Sports fans are a model of piety and would never engage in drunken or obscene behavior. Are we this desperate to engage in a shaming exercise that we have to resort to the creator of the foam hand for comments?

[stormie]

*Snerk*

This has become such a thing - Everybody's talking about Madonna/Christina Aguilera/Lady Gaga/Miley Cyrus because she is SO SHOCKING . . .wait . . . ok, not any more, but we still listen to her . . .
WAIT! We are missing the important part!
What the hell happened to that poor giraffe??Is he hung over like his overhanging tongue, or did he just finish a marathon?

A drunken marathon of Miley Cyrus porn.

18". Prehensile. Purple. Of course it's cuter!

Speaking of Miley Cyrus and porn, the video that goes with her new song has some serious nakedness in it, and no, I'm not going to link to it.

[Chocodile]

Serious nakedness? Hah! Not even a nipple. Madonna went farther twenty years ago. You can see more flesh on billboards in Europe.

She's not a bad looking girl, especially prancing around in her underwear. But those vocals are processed to the point where I can't listen. And there's a moment in the video when she rolls over and there's a brown splotch on her ass. Presumably from riding that dusty wrecking ball like a sex swing. That should have been edited out.

I think she knows what she's doing and will turn out as well as any other celebrity. Maybe a rehab here and there but I don't think she's going to melt down. Nor do I think she's going to corrupt our nation's precious princesses.

ETA: Ok, the clip I found is from her previouse new video.

I found a clip of Miley in a video without the autotune.

The entire ridiculous thing is made completely worthwhile by the hilarity to be found in pearl-clutching viewers' ludicrously offended complaints to the FCC.

Representative sample:


The fact that the FCC has no authority whatsoever to regulate or reprimand MTV for broadcasting such a silly attention-getting, album-sales-driving stunt...er, I mean, such depraved filth makes it all even funnier.

I have to wonder how many of those offended enough to be moved to demand that the FCC please think of the children and do something about it also go to Tea Party meetings to shout about how government IS the problem.

[Dragon]

Government IS the problem.

I am not much for shouting but I do worry about this part.

Which belief you or anyone else are perfectly entitled to hold.

Just don't expect a lot of sympathy for it if it is coupled with the belief that the government should DOOOOOOO SOMETHING about adult ladies making a sexydancing on the MTV.

[Chacoguy]

But, but....."He had a slight erection easily noticed through his pants"

[Glazer]

Now next time you see that video you wont be able to stop yourself from looking.

[Chacoguy]

There will be no next time.

[Glazer]

This is a good excuse to update the rick-roll.
