So how come Miley Cyrus gets shamed
For her performance On the VMA's with Beetlejuice aka Robin Thicke, and Robin Thicke slides on by like oil, even though he looks like the King of creepers?
Hey, there goes your feminist cred You claimed for "Blurred Lines" Robin. You're not even trying anymore
= new reply since forum marked as read
This thread is a small experiment of mine. 
who in almost unison describe the entire performance by one of either two words (or both combined): "vulgar" and/or "raunchy"....
It seems this is what passes for "talent" now a days (and by that I sarcastically mean both Cyrus and Thicke).
Yes, I know, I know... Madonna and several male performers have had similar gimmicky performances and thus this trend isn't exactly new... Some, though, have the "talent" cred to get past it, though and I tend to doubt either of these two "have it."
If they want to look like a bag of hammers, go ahead, I needed a good laugh. Funny as all hell. 
the black people as props was kinda odd/weird ...
The whole thing was just stupid.
So stupid I had to laugh.

You dress like a clown, behave like a slut, substitute them for talent, and subsist on the resulting controversy.
If someone dares to call you on it, you accuse them of being a blue-haired uptight pearl-clutching slut-shamer while you're defended by those who just want to retain their right to continue to ogle you.

(Thicke): "I was high on vicodin and alcohol when I showed up at the studio. So my recollection is when we made the song, I thought I wanted — I — I wanted to be more involved than I actually was by the time, nine months later, it became a huge hit and I wanted credit. So I started kind of convincing myself that I was a little more part of it than I was and I — because I didn’t want him — I wanted some credit for this big hit. But the reality is, is that Pharrell had the beat and he wrote almost every single part of the song.”
(Williams) ...said he was “in the driver’s seat” for this song, but explained that sharing credit is the norm for the music industry....When asked whose words were used in the lyrics, Williams answered: “Mine.” Williams also said that it’s “Robin Thicke’s voice” that makes the song great: “Because it’s the white man singing soulfully and we, unfortunately, in this country don’t get enough — we don’t get to hear that as often, so we get excited by it when the mainstream gives that a shot.”
Thicke also admitted he lied to media outlets about the genesis of the song...“Pharrell and I were in the studio and I told him that one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye’s Got to Give It Up. I was like, ‘Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove.’ Then he started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it."
Not to put too fine a point to it, but the way these two couldn't throw each other under the bus fast enough, I wouldn't spit on either of them if they were on fire.
P.S. How do either of them explain being in the Blurred Lines video? WARNING: this link is not safe for work, feminists, younger viewers or music lovers
