why would anyone be shocked when mylie cyrus during the mtv awards did her porno moves? I'm not shocked. this is where our culture has been heading. is anyone really shocked besides maybe Will smith and his family in front row? and we wonder about the kids today? Parents hope you had TV turned OFF Hope your paying attention

I was just reading about this. I had to look up a new word; "twerk". Oh boy she isn't a sweet little thing for sure, is she?

Not my cup of tea. I have seen many generations of beautiful and sensual singers and leading ladies but this is beyond what I enjoy seeing.

Sure is different from her Hannah Montana persona.

Shocked? No. Disgusted? Yes.

You all know your parents all said the same thing about Elvis and his pelvis. What's the matter with kids today? There really would be no point if it didn't offend certain people. Manet (1863) managed to shock the finer people in society. This isn't new.

The way she danced isn't new. When I taught high school, the dances and proms were much worse. I finally said no I didn't want to chaperone. She was mild in comparison to what I saw.

Guess I have a new word to look up on my computer at home tonight. Last week I learned a new definition of the name "Molly". And no, this is not what my cat, Molly, is named after. If you hear the word "Molly" in a song your grandchildren or younger relatives are listening to, you'd better look up the definition on line.

Guess the Hannah Montana image wasn't bringing in the $ any longer. My 11 year old niece used to love to watch Hannah Montana.

This is when I wish all high-school grads could go through military boot camp without enlisting up front. I think at the end of boot camp, many would join the military because of the transformation and accomplishments they never thought possible/bearable for themselves.

calculated "pig" looking to boost ratings/followings.

And yes it is a sign of the times.....permissive anything and don't offend anybody!!

The lady here seems to be using it as a workout routine. Wow. You should see her thighs shaking. I would NOT recommend she do this in public, but it's too late!

I bow to you Blueash, kids were your business and I guess that each generation of beautiful young women on stage, screen and television were kind of pushing the envelope. I remember thinking. WHAT is this Madonna doing..and I guess my parents generation thought strapless gowns were over the top.

Maybe because my generation wouldn't look too hot doing what she is doing and maybe because we feel a little envy? I don't know. I just have a gut reaction that it wasn't.....entertaining?

Oh well. Now I am so aware of posters gonna call me old. sigh.

I am wondering why anyone in The Villages would be looking at the MTV Awards. No, I do not know what a twerk is (nor do I care enough to look it up anywhere) nor do I know what Molly means (once more, I do not care). If someone held a gun to my head and said I had to name a song that Miley Cyrus sang, they would have to kill me. I do remember the one song her father sang.

The OP said "Parents, hope you had TV turned OFF." To which forum was the OP posting that warning?

I agree with every letter and word in your post.

I didn't see any MTV awards. I just follow the news things on my computer like a sheep.

Sigh. Now I am not only old but stupid.

I will be so glad when it gets cool enough for me to play golf again.

Idle typing hands are the devils workshop.

I don't watch the MTV awards any longer. It seems to be a contest of who can be the most outrageous and be the talk around the water cooler. Remember when Kayne West got up when Taylor Swift was getting her award and said that someone else deserved it more? It has all gotten way out of hand and I don't care to partake. I guess Myley's antics worked. Everyone is talking about her......just what she wanted. The producer should never have let that kind of act on TV.

It's okay, Gracie. I don't watch that stuff either. We are becoming our parents as we age, my husband and I... as in, we are so out of the loop on this stuff, and it's only when something like "twerk" comes up on the forum that we even get the least bit caught up. If it weren't for this forum I would know little of what's happening with the younger generation now.

My precious, lovely daughter-in-law... we were driving through NYC on some road by the river, where there were grass beaches. She said, "Look at that banana hammock!" I'm looking around for a hammock. My son said, "Umm, Mom... she's talking about his bathing suit."
