CFN – Kinda staged looking pic, huh? The rage of media was one Miley Cyrus and her gyrating musical performance at an award ceremony. (sorry, no free love on CFN)
Some Twerk definitions:

( see twerk or twerking ) the action of standing (usually in a squatting position) with your hands either on your thighs or not; then moving your back and butt up and down, making it jiggle , LMFAO . usually girls do it at clubs , sometimes they’re ratchet and do it at school for boys , to seek attention from the men 🙂

I’m not here to judge. Heck if you’re reading this you’re probably one of the hopeless billions that would care more about one skinny assed girl dressed like a 12 year old she devil trying to make like Madonna in the 80’s (she who destroyed Western Civilization)
The media frenzy is the most interesting thing of the whole performance as one; Miley isn’t that hot; doesn’t have that big a booty; can’t dance worth squat; and is only a very mildly good vocalist.
Even the Onion got into it with MA Meredith Artley putting it amazingly succinctly:
There was nothing, and I mean nothing, about that story that related to the important news of the day, the chronicling of significant human events, or the idea that journalism itself can be a force for positive change in the world. For Christ’s sake, there was an accompanying story with the headline “Miley’s Shocking Moves.” In fact, putting that story front and center was actually doing, if anything, a disservice to the public. And come to think of it, probably a disservice to the hundreds of thousands of people dying in Syria, those suffering from the current unrest in Egypt, or, hell, even people who just wanted to read about the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech.
So stupid people here you go; our own Miley offering. So while wealth is being constricted from most of the planet into the 1%; and you lose your home and jobs while food and gas go up insanely price wise, and wars and terrorism erupts around our tiny blue marble you get to watch a skinny girl performing an under age pseudo sex scene on your phone while probably drinking a diet beverage and bubbling countless cancers in your body, or drinking fluoridated water.
sigh…..
What a hopeless world.
The problem isn’t Miley or her industry. The problem is a world that chooses to place a celebrity and importance on these instances over the real life and death issues on the planet. Scary…

There are so many TV channels and stations competing for viewers that they want something shocking, something to push the envelope as much as we do….maybe.
So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
‘Til my TV lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbin’ the almighty peace

“What a hopeless world” – this world is infected, corrupted with what the Bible calls “sin”. It is not evolution but de-evolution! As fallen creatures, with depraved, defiled, corrupt hearts and minds (the place where sin reigns), the world is the product of our vain, corrupt imaginations. Notice this is the Biblical diagnosis of all mankind, with exception of the Lord Jesus Christ- he was born sinless.
So when it comes to hopelessness, which is all the human heart can produce and experience apart from a saving relation with God, our Creator, via the saving work of His Son on the Cross. Hopelessness produces more hopelessness as we look inside, as we look to other fallen creatures for answers, for solution, for the meaning to life, and direction. It is true – the blind are leading the blind! Both, says the Lord Jesus, shall fall into the ditch – even the pit of hell!
Moral degeneration is pictured in once(?) sweet and innocent Miley Cyrus, and that is how “the wonderful world of Disney” sold her to the public for a dollar(S) – but all good things must come to an end. Why should we be so shocked? Without the restraining hand of God on upon, we would be just like Miley, or worse! The Bible says-“there is none that doeth good, no not one”. But, honestly, is that what we want and demand from our love idols?
One last word on “hopelessness” – it is never hopeless when it comes to God forgiving and transforming a life, from vile corruption to the likeness of His Son. Left to ourselves, such would be the case, corruption and more corruption, and more corruption. Hell is like God’s garage dump, where all these corruptors and corruptions will end , and that is for all eternity. But the simple fact is God has not left us to ourselves –
John 3:18-21 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God”.
ADMIN you are in my opinion absolutely right, the problem isn’t Miley or her industry. The problem lies with the competitive cut throat media giants fighting tooth and nail for advertising dollars to stay alive for yet another round tomorrow.
The standard of journalism has fallen to the point that news is really not so much reported on but manufactured and very often over processed. Example, before the definitive facts concerning a news story are known the media has spent considerable time speculating on the story often with the assistance of so called experts. Stories are milked until ratings suggest them to move on to the next best seller.
Quality has been replaced with quantity and professionalism has fallen to sensationalism.
Scary….. and sad.
David it’s also people. After 7,000 + stories on CFN, each with a page count I see what people click on and what they don’t. When people complain that we only print “bad news” I tell them that’s not true. They only click on bad news.
No doubt true ADMIM. What better way to explain the appetite for mindless reality shows. People driven and the demand is being met because it sells advertising. The success of this format only establishes that our society is digressing and the bar continues to be lowered. So is it then fair to say that the media is only meeting the demand or do they shoulder some of the blame for our fall from sanity and content of merit?
It’s a combination of the two David. As if a waiter brought you two dessert choices and one became popular.
Television is all about how many eyeballs are glued to the screen. Commercial TV exists only to sell junk that nobody needs, including political garbage like Harper’s “Action Plan”.
As the great John Prine wrote in one of his early songs.. Blow up your TV!
I hear ya Pastor Tom. I’m just glad my life is complete now that I know another Urban Dictionary word cause of some young twat(twit).

If your going to bring The Boss into this…
How about his song about Cornwall Ontario
It’s called Death to My Hometown dedicated to the mayor.i think
They destroyed our families’ factories and they took our homes
They left our bodies on the plains
The vultures picked our bones
So listen up, my Sonny boy
Be ready for when they come
For they’ll be returning sure as the rising sun
Now get yourself a song to sing and sing it ’til you’re done
Yeah, sing it hard and sing it well
Send the robber baron’s straight to hell
The greedy thieves that came around
And ate the flesh of everything they’ve found
Whose crimes have gone unpunished now
Walk the streets as free men now
EYe for One Knows the END IS NEAR with pastor tom and furtz on the same page…and no fists are flyin…truly we are doomed
@ StellaTheFella. You’re pushing it, my friend! I’m NEVER in the same book as the preacher, never mind on the same page. You just made my skin crawl in a serious way.
Sit back for a second and think.
Didn’t the thought of this as being manufactured by the money machine ever cross your mind?
Of course it was!
It’s getting World Wide attention.
It was all carefully planned and millions are being made from it.
The gurus that control the money making machine know which buttons to press, and it worked, this time.
This was simply directed to a “target audience” that have money to spend and trust me, they like what they saw.
I don’t hear that target audience complaining?
CHA CHING!!
You’re pushing it, my friend!
Come on Furtz
Read what i wrote…

It’s not pretty
furtzie is the summer heat getting to you
Didn’t you once get banned for attacking The Pastor as he does god work here on earth???
Oh its not the summer heat..its Mileys dancing tongue
This while America plans to attack another Mid East country
The beleaguered music industry has no money to pony-up for advertising, so what used to be music coverage has become “the spectacle”. Notice that the Hollywood film complex continues to receive large tracts of real estate everyday in the entertainment sections of major newspapers – they still invest heavily in the advertising model. Music criticism in the newspaper world is pretty much a thing of the past. Instead we get big photos and simple descriptions of the artist’s out-sized public behavior. This may be entertaining to some people, but it has nothing to do with music
