Miley Cyrus Dances With Bears, Foam Fingers, and Robin Thicke

Can someone please explain to me what I’m missing? Why did Miley Cyrus appear nearly naked on stage with huge teddy bears at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards? Yes, I’ve seen her “We Can’t Stop” music video but this performance is uncomfortable to watch. See for yourself what happened at the VMAs when Cyrus performed a “We Can’t Stop / Blurred Lines / Give It 2 U” medley with Robin Thicke, Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz.
