[Vampirum]

Happy birthday to everyone with one coming up. Also, I no longer know who Miley Cyrus is (I have completely wiped her from my memory). That little performance made me want to scrub my eyes.

Mine's in September.

[Bloodbath Generation]

1. Welcome back Anoll!

2. Todlichebujoku, shut up and take my money. Your entry was pure art. I think we should bestow upon your song the title of "Best Worldvision Act Ever".

3. Did anyone else see how Miley Cyrus became a total whore twerking in the MTV VMA?????? It crushed me because her original Disney character (Hannah Montana) was actually part of my childhood. She's totally a slut now. I swear Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan look totally decent in comparison. Weird thing is.... It reminded me of Bloodbath Generation. That's creepy.

I think when she sang The Climb it all went downhill and now she Cant Stop

[Nekoni]

I don't know what's going on, but I don't like iiiiiit~~~

[Kalosia]

Do you realize how some WV performances would be equally bad or even worse? Also you guys should see how Daft Punk reacted to the thing.

[The Genoese Cromanatum]

I suppose consider me signed up, I'll decide on a song at a later date.

[Crolacia]

Happy birthday Kal!

[Luziyca]

Happy birthday Kal!

Happy birthday, Kal!

Anyways, tomorrow will be my 16th.

[Northern Sunrise Islands]

Also you guys should see how Daft Punk reacted to the thing.

As an outsider (both Forum-wise and RL-wise), I think I have an image and a phrase to determine my opinion.


- I can't hue that.

[New Warwick]

Really, this whole slut-shaming of Miley is ridiculous. You all act as though celebrities have never done anything like that before. What the problem really is, is the appropriation of twerking and the using of black women's bodies as sexualized props. I'll admit that that isn't something I thought of at first, but really that's what the actual problem with that performance is. For those of you who would like to read more, Jezebel has a really great article on it.

Why didnt Daft Punk perform? I was waiting all night to see them

Confirmed.

[Todlichebujoku]

No... PreCure....

[The Royal Kingdom of Quebec]

No... PreCure....

Why not?

[Luziyca]

I predict that after voting ends on August 29th, it'll last for a week, before closing on September 5th?

[Euskirribakondara]

1. Wow, great article up there. Loved this bit...

Okay.... but can we talk about the problematic and racist nature of her performance? Her literal use of people as props? Her association of her newfound sexuality with the traditional codifiers of black female culture, thereby perpetuating the Jezebel stereotype that black women are lewd, lascivious and uncontrollably sexualized? Can we talk about the straight up minstrelsy of that performance? Can we talk about how not a single black person won an award last night even though the people who did win awards have been mining black music and culture for years?

No? Ok... I'll just sit at the back of the bus then. #solidarityisforwhitewomen

2. Calatan? Cool, I thought it was Catalan.

3. Well, if we're closing the Miley Cyrus topic (and I'll close it with the Brazilian surra --- de --- bunda)...

Let's move on to pure Peruvian musical quality (Here! or Here!).

P.S.: As half-Peruvian (well, quarter actually, 25%), I must admit that Peru has the worst YouTube image ever. And we can't do anything about it!

[Euskirribakondara]

Happy birthday Kalosia (It's still August 27th, according to Euskal time)!!!!!! I'll sing in Portuguese....

"Parabéns pra você, nesta data querida... Muitas felicidades, muitos anos de vida!"

And I'll end with words in Basque and Armenian...

"Zorionak! Shnorhavor!!!!"

A big party has been celebrated in the streets of Harrikes in your honour. Kalosian flags are flying everywhere, and Mala Ärlangga held a concert in our largest venue, the Harrikes Olympic Stadium.

Worszary is not doing anything since we think celebrating the birthday of a foreign President is quite strange.


Kalosia, I already TGd you but happy birthday anyway!

[Communist Quinntopia]

[Kalosia]

1. Thank you everyone! Or in Kalosian, "Gretsi tuta!" Not much is happening other than a few public birthday wishes, because after all, it's just a birthday. We're assuming Mala's concert just coincides with the event.

(to the tune of the dutch birthday song, translation is also same but unisex)
Panjang umurnya
Panjang umurnya
Panjang umurnya serta mulia
Serta mulia
Serta mulia

2. I know I'm not the only one who thinks there's a difference between hating for whatever Miley did, and slut-shaming. Is there not a thread on this already?

3. Now, happy birthday Luziyca! May your nation not CTE for a very, very long time.
