Last month, Miley Cyrus stunned the nation with her racy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards (and by “racy,” we mean that she stripped down to a latex bikini, dry-humped Robin Thicke, twerked to her heart’s content, and used a foam finger to, well, finger herself). Hannah Montana would be so disappointed.
Social media sites went wild, and so did viewers, some of whom were so traumatized by Miley’s bump n’ grind routine that they decided to take their angry rants to the FCC, an agency with absolutely no legal authority over indecency on a cable network like MTV.
More than 150 concerned citizens flooded the Commission’s inbox with irate correspondence, only to have them fall on deaf ears. But thanks to the many Freedom of Information Act requests filed with the FCC, the public’s complaints have been unearthed, and boy, are they entertaining…

1. “Had I wanted my family to see a hooker perform a live sex show, I would have taken [them] to Tijuana.”
Alas, the FCC won’t be able to help these poor souls — it won’t even be able to banish Miley Cyrus to a convent. The pop singer can’t stop, and she won’t be stopped by the FCC any time soon, unless she performs on broadcast television. In case you haven’t realized this yet, you really get what you pay for when you have cable, and apparently you’re paying for twerkstravaganzas like these. Enjoy!
