Miley Cyrus ... Twerks?

Share
So Yahoo has an article about that upstanding role-model of teens and tweens: Miley Cyrus.

This might surprise you but the story didn't cover her Nobel-prize winning work in quantum physics. Probably because the web page would be blank. Yahoo! OMG may play fast-and-loose with their news facts, but even they have their limits.

No, the thrust of the piece (the story, not Ms. Cyrus) was about Miley and her viral twerking video.

In case you're wondering, twerking is a fad dance that started about 7 years ago. It involves shaking your rump violently enough to put out fires in its vicinity. The name comes from combining "twist" with "jerking".

And now that the fad has reached the younger crowd, we have tweens twerking. What is this twisted tworld coming two?

Certainly isn't helping my speech. Or Miley's reputation as a brilliant scientist with earth-shaking discoveries.

Whatever she's doing, booty shaking isn't earth shaking - especially her's.

I had to stop a minute and go over to You Tube....I hadn't heard of this. Apparently, I am not current on "what are the new fads that make no sense". Another example of my extreme uncoolness.


UGH! What the hell is the tworld coming to? That ranks right up there with the Harlem Shake.
