Zero Shame Lame Fame Games: Miley Cyrus

Okay, kids, it's audience participation time!

Step one: watch this video clip. I know, please do it anyway.



Step two: Please help me out, as I'm finding I need a little assistance from you in determining what's funniest about this.

Is it...:

A) ...Miley Cyrus finally coming clean on the fact that she's just a corporate skin-puppet whose whole manufactured "career" exists solely to move merchandise for Disney?

B) ...Reasonably-respectable journalist Matt Lauer's barely-concealed contempt at having to interview this vapid waft of bacon-and-Aqua-Net-scented air?

C) ...The fact that she admits the "song" she's about to "perform" is one she basically hates, and she's only treading water until she can actually do what she wants?

D) ...That she actually has the stones to compare herself favorably to Joan Jett and Janis Joplin with a straight face?

E) ...Lauer tricking her into admitting that she is basically a product, even though he knows full well that both she and the audience are far too stupid to give a shit?

F) ...Said stupid audience actually cheering when Cyrus calls them out for being idiots who waited hours in the rain to watch a plastic "artist" perform "music" so artificial that even she even she herself can't be bothered to care about it?

G) ...The insane underlying corporate machinations that must have taken place in order for Disney (who owns ABC) to basically air a commercial for itself during what's ostensibly an NBC news program (The Today Show), and getting NBC to agree to it?

Or, my personal vote:

H) ...The clearly-just-doing-it-for-the-paycheck bass player over her shoulder actively trying to hate her to death as she's forcing air out of her lungs and using it to make sounds with her mouth?

Post your vote in the comments. In doing so, don't hesitate to point out any additional subtle bits of subtext I may have failed to glean out of this absurd and tragic spectacle. Much like the Matrix Trilogy, it just gets worse the more you watch it.
