Miley Cyrus appears intent on covering her controversy bases, adding support of Occupy Wall Street, a.k.a. #OWS, to her ever-expanding agenda.
She’s had the sexually suggestive controversy (her pole dancing performance at the Teen Choice Awards in 2009), her drug controversy (smoking from a bong), her other drug controversy (comments at her 19th birthday party last week about being a stoner) and now, apparently, she’s courting political controversy.
The pop singer has released a video for the remix of ‘Liberty Walk’ off her album ‘Can’t Be Tamed’ composed entirely of footage from the various Occupy protests worldwide. Included are police beatings, things burning and lots of angry marching. It’s strong stuff from the girl once known as Hannah Montana.
The video was posted Saturday to her official YouTube channel and bears the dedication, ‘This is dedicated to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in...’
The video has predictably made Cyrus persona non grata in a number of households and stirred the ire of conservative media. Comments on her YouTube page include one from a dad who wrote, ‘Miley Cyrus is now banned from my house along with 30 other entertainment political wannabes. My kids are not allowed to have anything related to you or what you stand for.......and you know what? they actually said it to me that they lost interest in you and your cruddy music and movies and tv show.... Bah-bye Miley,.... you get no more of my hard earned money you one percenter liar.’
Conservative radio host Dana Loesch tweeted, ‘A movement is dead when Miley Cyrus writes disco music for it.’
Between this and the Bob Marley birthday cake, it’s going to be an interesting week for Miley.
