It seemed like MTV's Video Music Awards was the perfect place for Miley Cyrus' antics because roughly 100% of the people tuning in to watch the VMAs are teens or degenerates, neither of whom find her behavior anything less than endearing. Nevertheless, the FCC complaints did indeed pour in, and they are a delight.
According to Rolling Stone (link below), there were around twenty complaints, not all of which pertained to Ms. Cyrus, but the vast majority of which did...
"MTV VMA's are rediculious [sic]," someone from Wichita, Kansas wrote. "MTV used to be decient [sic] now there is cuss words, Nipple slip by Miley Cyrus, I will not be watch[ing] MTV programming no more."
While it's easy to poke fun at this person's tenuous grasp of the English language, I'm more dismayed by the fact that they thought MTV was ever "decent." What the shit was this person watching on MTV that was decent? I don't think the channel has ever aired anything even remotely decent. The vast majority of these complaints come off as scolding grandparents, though...
"Miley Cyrus is a VERY TROUBLED CHILD and I can not believe what she was able to get away with on this show," a Gulfport, Mississippi resident wrote. "Seems like she is in the news everywhere doing disgusting, perverted and lewd things. I just can't understand why this CHILD gets away with all of this."
"What kind of pornographic display of indecency whas [sic] that?" a Carson City, Nevada viewer wrote. "Miley wore barely any clothing and even flashed her breasts without any sensory [sic] at all. I find this absolutely disgusting that this was allowed on national TV."
The best one of all, however, comes from a woman who watched the program with her easily offended 19-year old son...
"Miley Cyrus' outfits were over the top but the view of her naked breast was just obscene," a viewer in Irvine, California wrote. "I understand that she wants publicity, but I do not want to see her breasts. My 19-year-old son complained as well."
Lady, if your son complained at all it was simply to placate you. There's no need to drag him into this complaint.
