Miley Cyrus was quite a hit at the recent MTV VMA awards show. Her whole existence is dedicated to making as much money as possible by entertaining the tens of millions of morons of our society.
Miley is not yet 21 but worth more than $100 million and easily rakes in over $20 million in income annually. I hope she has good legal and accounting advice to shift most of that income to low-tax categories so she does not contribute to any federal social programs. Miley is a great distraction for millions from the persistent deep recession gripping the U.S. and most countries around the globe.
She is very lucky person to have been chosen over many more talented people to become the next Madonna. The small group of promoters and producers of America’s entertainment industry can handle just so many stars. In Miley they found a person whose greatest talent is self-promotion and willingness to push the envelope to gain notoriety and money. The more people talk, text, share and whatever else idiots do with 21st century technology while talking about her, the more she laughs all the way to the bank.
As a second-rate actress and singer, she’s come far and probably will go much farther before she implodes or we find another enterprising ingénue to worship. Many of her critics in the entertainment world are simply jealous of her luck and money so soon in her career.
To those critics who complain she went too far at the VMA show, please define that in a world where there are no limits on illegal, immoral or tasteless behavior by the “elites” of our society. I suspect she could perform a live sex act completely naked at a concert and she’d make even more money – but that might take a few more years of “pushing the envelope.”
Miley and most 21st century entertainers and performers, exist to present banal corporate music, art, theatre and excessive mixed-media concerts to millions of people who are sadly ignorant of good music and art, and real talent. She is just another example of the total degradation of U.S. society and culture – which has been planned and promoted by our criminal oligarchy (you thought I had forgotten them) for many years.
I do not regret mentioning her name until now but our corporate media considers her and a small handful of human beings to be of significance, therefore she probably deserves some mention now. Anyone who cares about humanity and this planet are completely irrelevant to our corrupt wealthy elites. She’s a high-priced puppet to placate the masses – which is important when the sociopaths running our political and economic systems must distract attention from their endless crimes.
Too many very talented musicians and artists languish in obscurity and poverty so Miley and her small lucky group of talentless people can make millions. If you think income and wealth inequality are bad in our society – in the entertainment world it is stratospheric. On a positive note, Miley reminds me that the extinction of humanity might not be all that bad.
