At one point during her performance, she steps onto an ice cream cart and is rolled around the stage. There is a pole on the cart (the girl needed <em>something<\/em> to hang on to) and at one point as she&#8217;s singing, she bounces to the floor. She wasn&#8217;t gyrating around it like a stripper the whole time.<br \/>\nI was <em>much<\/em> more horrified to see Tyson on stage, participating in a Jonas Brothers &#8220;dare&#8221; in which the former boxer cut off some of Joe Jonas&#8217; hair. A convicted sex offender at a teen event?! What were the organizers <em>thinking<\/em>?!<br \/>\nThat disgusted me way more than Cyrus&#8217; dancing.<br \/>\nAnd, the amount of young people at the event who have been involved in one sex scandal or another (nude photos, homemade porn, etc) probably outnumbered the wholesome teens at the show.<br \/>\nCompared to some of them Cyrus is pretty much Mother Teresa.<br \/>\n<A href=\"http:\/\/www.locatetv.com\/person\/miley-cyrus\/5838\" target=\"_top\"><IMG alt=\"Miley Cyrus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.locatetv.com\/person\/miley-cyrus\/5838\/584x85_belief.gif\" border=\"0\"><\/A><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone is upset that Miley Cyrus was &#8220;pole dancing&#8221; at the Teen Choice Awards.
