And That's When Miley Cyrus Released a Video in Support of Occupy Wall Street

Shortly after outing herself as a stoner at her 19th birthday party, Miley Cyrus proved that her interests and causes are diverse…by releasing a video in which she offers her support to Occupy Wall Street. Naturally! The video, which looks like a fan-made mash-up, combines the teen multimillionaire’s 2010 pop song “Liberty Walk” with actual footage from the Occupy protests, in which masses of people protest the greed and the corruption of the 1 percent. Cyrus dedicates the video “to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in.” Do you think this is just an opportunistic play by Cyrus — to either glean attention from this lingering news story or to salvage her reputation following video evidence of her marijuana habit — or a sincere gesture of support? Either way, she may have been better served by filming a music video at one of the rallies and providing work/extra pay for Occupy Wall Street supporters the way Dark Knight Rises originally intended to do.
