Miley Cyrus, Pedobear, and the Hollywood Spectacle

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Yeah, took a quick look, and I don't see anyone saying she's doing this as a charity event.

And?

It's like I said from the beginning, she's going after eye-balls.  Whatever symbols she can throw out there to get them she will.  Have you read the RS article?  It, and her whole approach, can easily be summed up in a simple phrase, "Hey everybody, look at me!".


Which makes sense because she's an entertainer, that's what they are paid to do.

Yeah, and I don't think anyone's denied that she's paid to do so.  What we are saying is that she's taking the piss.  You seem to think these are mutually exclusive things, because apparently Miley Cyrus is something less than a human being, and can't possibly do such a thing.

He's projecting. I mean, you smack him all over PD, he just keeps popping back up, but there's nothing between his ears and he's oblivious to the fact that he looks REALLY MORONIC.

I have come to the conclusion that RWHN is a bop bag. Except the bop bag would probably fill out a suit better.

Of course she's making money while braying laughter in everyone's faces.



Give "Bob" one good reason why she shouldn't.

It's not art if you're not starving.

I don' think they are mutually exclusive, I think people are falling prey to Lo5 regarding the "taking the piss" thing.  It falls apart when you read the RS interview where she clearly NEEDS and CRAVES the attention as much as any other Hollywood type.  I mean, for chrissakes, she's comparing herself to Michael Jackson saying she wants people to hold her albums in the same legendary status as his.  She isn't rebelling or speaking out against anything.  She WANTS that shit.


I'm really shocked that everyone is missing what is so painfully obvious.  It's really bizarre to me that so many of you are so desperate to claim her as your Discordian Troll Queen, that you can't see how she completely encapsulates everything that is so garishly fucked up with mainstream pop culture.


But this is one spag's opinion.

Right. Only the penniless artist can be subversive.

Strawman.  Pink Floyd made (and still makes) huge bank on art.  Of course, DSoTM was an actual purposeful commentary, and not an unaware accidental one.

Again, not mutually exclusive.  She can enjoy the spotlight while fucking with the audience.

Which is kind of the whole point.

Pink Floyd was about as subversive as my grandmother.

ETA:  My grandmother at least didn't whine, which is about all Roger Waters has ever been good for.

And a resounding denouncement from the holding-your-smokes-backwards smooth jazz crowd, which is - as it ought to be - bowel-liquifyingly terrifying.

I don't even know what Your Discordia looks like.

Perfectly straight lines, with some improv playing over the loudspeakers.

Just WAIT until my buddy living in Hairy Steve's basement publishes my scathing essay about your SELLOUT in his 'zine!

Then you'll be sorry.
