Thank you! I was having trouble articulating why I felt this was bullshit, but you nailed it. I still believe her persona is a big put-on, but you’re spot on that the one objectifying Miley is Miley.

And it was a super-clean, very innocent show. She wasn’t sexualized in the least (rendering the Toddlers and Tiaras comparison ridiculous). I would have taken my kid, if I had one, to a Miley/Montana concert at that time, with no concerns whatsoever that s/he might pick up some disturbing messaging about girls growing…

The taxpayers footing the bill are also the voters who seem to love those “tough on crime” and “war against drug” BS so go ahead and let ‘em pay for the thug in uniform aka cop’s indiscretions.

And that lawsuit will cost the taxpayers money, not the police. I’m not saying she shouldn’t sue, I’m saying the proceeds from the suit should come from the police retirement funds. When the “few” bad cops start costing the “good” cops money, then maybe the good cops will do something about their “brothers” behavior.

Isn’t it just amusing as all hell? I’m in my 60s and voted in my first national election for McGovern (I remember all the way back to Eisenhower). This election cycle is fascinating and I’ve never seen anything like it. Go Trump! Implode that disaster of a GOP.

and she’s so classy about it, too. I’m sure it can’t be easy having people talk about her weight, etc., but her responses have been uniformly confident and politely sassy. like, “my body made another human, which is cool. my job is to sing, which I still do well. everyone back off.”

I’m not even sure I wanted to know this. I can’t fathom how her poor parents felt. I’m sure that nothing could be worse than what they imagined but having it proved is awful. I’m sure that they never believed that she was a willing ISIS bride.

Re: Miley Cyrus — Bullshit, bullshit bullshit!

I can certainly understand her forgiving him after all this time, if only for herself and not for him. But posting that picture makes me feel like she’s celebrating a toxic relationship with an abusive piece of shit and it is so tough to see that.

still a kind of weird and unstable thing

It’s sickening and sad to see Madonna post that picture. The things that man did to her are horrific and it appalls me the way so many people have shrugged it off or forgotten about it. As always, fuck Sean Penn.

Goddammit, randilyn. Do you know how many times this video has been posted around these parts? I swear, every article about Miley or just the word Jolene and somebody posts this damn video again...

Actually it’s a Bobby Gentry song. Reba McEntire covered it but the original is far superior, IMO.

That’s the great Reba McEntire.

This happened to me. And I DID get confronted about it.

I disagree. I think this bride _should_ confront her friend about the lack of gift, so that the bridesmaid has the opportunity to shit in a box and mail it to her, but that's just me.

Maybe she thought that she didn’t have to give us a wedding gift because she was a bridesmaid?

Do my favorite Dolly song next, NBC!

I hear a man fucking a chicken is actually more accepted than a man fucking another man in Kentucky. Go Wild. Cats.

Fuck you and fuck your chicken.
