1. too funny

[deutsey]

2. That is hilarious

I had managed to avoid seeing the twerking incident until this. If I had to see it, this is the way to go.

15. Same here, I hadn't seen it or

wanted to see it at all, but this is beyond hilarious. Especially since, as a huge ST fan going back to early childhood, I think I even recognize the episodes that this is taken from.

What a great, creative idea, to at least make something funny out of that horrendous, disgusting performance. I'm no prude at all, but good gravy, even I have some taste and class limits and boundaries.

3. I sent that

To William Shatner and George Takei on twitter. I hope they respond!

[liberalhistorian]

29. I would love to see their responses to this, especially

Takei's. They both have a pretty good self-deprecating sense of humor, so I think they'd get a kick out of it. I had to come back and watch it again a couple times just for shits and giggles.

4. Oh my gods

11. Oh, God! Tears of laughter here...Thanks SO much for posting!

12. Hi-larious.

Excellent juxtaposition of American "popular culture", past and present.

[liberalhistorian]

17. Good point, and I think it also shows that

some cultural phenomena are far more timeless than others. ST will continue to be a popular legacy and continue to be known to future generations (it's already been nearly fifty years since it first appeared and it's still going strong), while Miley's "performance" will barely be a footnote in cultural history even a few years from now. Or, at least, it should be.

"As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healthy development of alien life and culture."

Whoever thought that up verges on genius.

[felix_numinous]

24. LOL great editing!!!!

[nikto]

25. The worst thing about Cyrus's performance...

Was how profoundly UN-original and STALE it was.

Is that all she and her people can come up with?
"Uncreative" is a mild word to use here.

[awoke_in_2003]

32. And what the hell was up with her tongue? nt

[Jesus Malverde]

33. apparently her trademark. Gene Simmons fan?

[Ezlivin]

26. Where's Viyger when you need it?

The planet is infested and must be sterilized.

[Shrike47]

[Rain Mcloud]

[BlueJazz]

30. I remember seeing her "Show" on TV and thinking "Why am I doing this"??

THAT's Funny though.

[emsimon33]

31. Verrry funny!

[Jesus Malverde]

34. I never saw the performance

All the talk was about the twerking, no one mentioned the foam finger...

[nikto]

35. Myley seems like...

A good candidate to replace Michael Jackson as a troubled celebrity.
