People are getting agitated about Miley Cyrus' comments comparing the reception of Breaking Bad to her VMA performance. She didn't have to pick specifically on Breaking Bad, but I do agree with her general point, and others have made the same point before. I liked her VMA performance. It's not so different from what I do in hip-hop class:
"America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong. Like, I was watching Breaking Bad the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It's a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word 'f*ck.' And I'm like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you're not allowed to say 'f*ck'? It's like when they bleeped 'molly' at the VMAs. Look what I'm doing up here right now, and you're going to bleep out 'molly'? Whatever."
The piece de resistance, of course, was the reaction of the Will Smith family to the performance. In Hollywood, success comes no sweeter than this!:
