The hype surrounding Miley Cyrus’ VMA twerking might be dying down a little, but the FCC have received 161 complaints from viewers after the performance shocked many.
To put those complaints in context, Beyonce’s Superbowl performance recieved 48 complaints and was seen by a much wider audience.
“VMA awards and Milye [sic] Cyrus: Need I say more?” one complainant wrote.
“She was crude, pornographic, and absolutely shameful. Had I wanted my family to see a hooker perform a live sex show, I would have taken her to Tijuana. It was, at best, a third rate exhibition of what a paedophile would like to see during a child pornography live show.”
Another wrote: “Obscene sexual acts on stage depicted by a child.”
“The Miley Cyrus performance was very pornographic and should not have been on TV. She made multiple indecent sexual poses and gestures, from grabbing her crouch [sic], using a foam finger like a dildo, and licking the butt of a stuff [sic] bear in a sexual manner. Plus the fact she barely had any clothes on,” a third objected.
It wasn't just Miley's tongue waggling after he VMA performance
The FCC have had to patiently respond to each of the 161 complaints and explain that they are not responsible for regulating cable TV.
Whatever the response might be, Miley has undeniably succeeded in putting her name on people’s lips.
