I've seen it compared to Beetlejuice dry-humping the Cynthia doll from rugrats.[DOUBLEPOST=1377538222,1377537851][/DOUBLEPOST]What happened:

That would have been hilarious 15 - 20 years ago. :rolleyes:

Hanes site, in the men's clothing section:

First four results for a Google search, spoilered for bare ass in a jock strap:

<SARCASM> Nope, men's underwear ads aren't sexualized at all. No highly endowed men with bulging briefs to be found. </SARCASM>
 
Doesn't every teen star spend a year shedding their teen image with overtly sexual and edgy performances? It's part of the playbook all their managers seem to follow.
 
Popstars 10 years ago be like:


Popstars today be like:


Downgrade.

Someone needs to tell her when she does that tongue thing she looks FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

Just looked. Yeah, I don't see anything more "shocking" than anything Britney did 5 or 10 years ago - and she was "America's girl-next-door innocent little girl" too, in contrast to Aguilera and whatever. Was bullshit then, it's nonsense now - both are just a marketing machine. Both are somewhat-capable singers, reasonable dancers and have good PR. The original was Madonna.

What I don't understand, is why no-one saw fit to tell Miley that she should've worn pants a size bigger? I can really see why there're so many jokes about her ass in those - it's squeezed together and unappealing. "More nude = better" really doesn't work like that.

Oh well. Next up: Bieber? :p
 
Comparing any of this new crop to Madonna is just and insult to someone who actually did know how to work being shocking to her advantage. Madonna was incredibly smart about how she handled her reinventions and calculated scandals.

Miley Cyrus and Brittany Spears wish they had a fifth of her acumen when it comes to showmanship.

Partially, I agree. Partially, it has to do with Madonna being around in the right place, at the right time. Media and the world have changed - what is acceptable, what isn't, what's shocking and what isn't. I admit that, in many ways, the closest to a "new Madonna" we have now is Lady Gaga, but....eh.

I still prefer the original, but I'm aware that this is, partly, because it was the original, which isn't necessarily a reason to be better.
 
Gaga is a media genius. She knows exactly how to manipulate the genre and the media. Like her or hate her, she'snot going to fade away like many pop stars do. Her performance at the VMAs was nothing short of brilliant (if you followed along with the story it was telling).

I always like to point out the big difference is Madonna (and for that matter Lady Gaga) has talent.

People weren't talking about it because it was shocking, they were talking about it because of how silly it was.
 
Ah. That I can understand quite well. 't Was silly indeed.
So they updated Maslow's heirarchy of needs to make it more accurate.

I know you're joking, but two political parties (and yes, big ones, not the small joke ones) have submitted a proposal to add the "right to internet" to the list of fundamental rights guaranteed in our constitution. They're completely serious and parliament will discuss it further later on.
 
There was some degree of shock value in it. In somewhat of a train wreck, white trash historical moment kinda way. A different kind of shock from when Madonna kissed Britney. It was more of a "holy shit that girl's crazy train has gone off the rails" moment. Similar to when Britney shaved her head, except this was at the VMA's.

Madonna & Lady Gaga get labeled "envelope pushers" through their antics & showmanship. The difference between them & Britney, Miley, & to some extent Christina, is that they didn't "grow up" on camera. We watched them as young teens on wholesome Disney programs, & then when they entered the adult portion of their career, expressing themselves seems all the more shocking.

Some child stars handle it better than others (Raven Symone, Emma Watson, Miranda Cosgrove), while a great portion more do not (LiLo we're looking at you). Then there are the ones that the jury is still out on (Lovato, Selena Gomez).

Also, if you ask me, Taylor Swift is precariously teetering on going batshit crazy sometime in the near future.

That, and how it looks like Miley's stylist's only equipment is a weed whacker. If she'd kept her hair, it'd probably have been 50% less "what".

Heck, I think the UN has already declared Internet access to be a human right.

I like how they had to hang the shield and sonic screwdriver on whedon and moffat for us to tell who was who, but they know that everybody's well aware of who the bearded porkgoblin in the middle is.
