Explaining the Video: Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed"
(Good lord, someone just shoot the child already.)
If you haven't seen it, which I doubt any of you have... it's here:

I'm going to be blunt: this really won't be much of an "Explaining the Video" because, well, it's pretty straightforward. But honestly, I didn't feel right NOT bitching about this video because, well...
...oh, look, there's a woman with a birdcage on her face.

Oh, we are just getting STARTED.
So, anyway, there's this scholar/announcer/guy in a tuxedo announcing they've got this very rare specimen in captivity. And what could that be?
Avius Cyrus.
IE: Miley Cyrus AS A BIRD.
At first, she's turned away from the camera and we wonder, dear sweet Raptor Jesus, what could she look like? What kind of hideous combination of human and animal could this be? WOULD IT BE BANNED IN ARIZONA?

AND THE BIG REVEAL:

Oh. Oh, she's...she's got a lot of eye make-up on. That's...not really BIRDLIKE, but I'll hear you out.

Oh yes. A UNITARD. There are SO MANY BIRDS WEARING UNITARDS.
Well, at least there's no badly CGI'd wings, right? Right?
[lightbox=http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/1/0/5/9/7/1/1/orig-11059711.jpg|||]/lw.jpg[/lightbox]
First of all: BAD CGI. VERY, VERY BAD CGI.
SECONDLY: Those wings in NO WAY could support Miley during flight. Biologically they are ridiculous.
THRIDLY: OMFG, YOU GUYS, MILEY CYRUS HAS WINGS WHAT THE HELL.
Also, she's supposedly this really rare creature, right? Well, suddenly a lot of OTHER bird-people pop up. Like, a lot of them.
[lightbox=http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/1/1/0/5/9/7/2/1/orig-11059721.jpg|||]/lw.jpg[/lightbox]
And I don't know if it occurred to the people who trapped her, but she is in the LEAST EFFECTIVE CAGE IN THE WORLD.
She slips RIGHT through the bars...
So, because she's now free, she and her bird people begin dancing around the place and wrecking shit up, yo. HARDCORE.

And then Miley Cyrus is a peacock.

I...uhm...I don't know if anyone informed anyone else during this shoot? But peacocks, the MALE of the species, are the ones with the brightly colored feathers. Peahens, the females, are actually very dull looking...
Back to the video: Miley and her horde of bird folks take over a statue and perch and dance and we get it, Miley. You're a bad girl.
Bad girl? Birdgirl? Whatever, you've got like three guys feeling you up at once. We get the idea.
But you're FREE! You can run away! You never have to go back to the cage!

YOU WENT BACK TO THE CAGE SO YOU COULD POLE DANCE?! SERIOUSLY?!
Oh well, so long as the CGI wings don't come back.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Also, I'm ashamed we're the same bloody age.
