I think this article is extremely well written and effectively and intelligently points out the motivations for and problems with Miley Cyrus' twerking debacle. The medium puts it in a form that many adults and younger generations will understand, "the Talk" but also gives the problematic aspects of Cyrus' performance due credit. It's entertaining but not offensive and the author clearly knows what he's talking about.

It was comical, but also brought up some good points/opinions.
