Miley Cyrus stripped off (yet again) for the new issues of Rolling Stone, wherein she discussed such deep topics as twerking, mentoring Justin Bieber and… how she apparently knows how to cook meth because she’s seen Breaking Bad a few times. Lovely.
“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 ‘fuck’. And I’m like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you’re not allowed to say ‘fuck’?
“It’s like when they bleeped ‘molly’ [from ‘We Can’t Stop’] at the VMAs. Look what I’m doing up here right now, and you’re going to bleep out ‘molly’? Whatever.”
Yes, because a fictional television show is definitely the same thing as a real life “artist” acting like a culture-appropriating asshole on a public stage. Definitely comparable in every way.
I certainly wish celebrities would begin taking responsibility for their own behaviour instead of trying to scapegoat things that in no way relate to their own shit. Seriously.
Every time I see or hear a new Miley quote it just makes me grateful for growing up before the internet, oh and of course that I was never a famous celebrity lol ;).
But honestly, she is 20 years old and in a very stupid phase of her life. She is trying on different personas, which is what most people do at this age, but she is doing it in a public way with tons of media attention. She will either just enjoy her infamy, not fame as her personality is overshadowing any actual work she is doing, or hire a PR firm to rebuild her image if she continues down the path of sound bytes instead of performing.
I think Miley is just a complete train wreck but I gotta agree with her on the censor thing. It is kind of silly to bleep out one of the most used words in the English language and then show carnage and extreme violence and how to cook meth. I don’t get that either. And this is coming from someone who thought I could never understand (or agree with) a word that came out of this girl’s mouth.
I actually think she has a point for once.
