Miley Cyrus' VMA blasted performance by Parents Television Council

Miley Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards drew plenty of attention from viewers -- and at least one group isn't happy about what it saw.

Miley Cyrus' VMA blasted performance

The Parents Television Council blasted MTV for the telecast, condemning Cyrus' raunchy performance with Robin Thicke and the show as a whole.
"MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials -- while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable," the watchdog group's director of public policy, Dan Isett, said in a statement.
"This much is absolutely clear: MTV marketed adults-only material to children while falsely manipulating the content rating to make parents think the content was safe for their children," Isett continued. "MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate 'twerking' in a nude-colored bikini. How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds? How is it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini in the opening act?"

PTC advisory house member Paul Porter combined that "heads should roll" during MTV since of a Cyrus/Thicke performance.
It's also engaging to note that Cyrus' father, singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus, is a member of a PTC advisory board.
One chairman certainly not angry over a controversy is Cyrus herself. The day after a VMAs, she took to Twitter to quote a Rolling Stone examination that praised her performance, and remarkable that it got some-more tweets per notation than another one of this year's large events.
Smilers! My VMA opening had 306.000 tweets per minute. That's some-more than a blackout or Super bowl! #fact.
