The Onion Predicted Miley Cyrus' VMA Performance Five Years Ago
Miley Cyrus' inappropriate performance at MTV's 2013 VMAs left a memorably disgusting mark in everyone's brains. It's horrifying. There are so many questions surrounding her psychosexual nightmare choreography - does her choreographer hate her? Did SHE come up with all of that on her own? Did she really want to rub up against Robin Thicke and touch his crotch with her foam fingers, before repeatedly touching her own with them foam fingers?!
While legit news sources failed to expect this, fake news source The Onion saw this coming way back in 2008. "Most experts now agree that, at current usage levels, Miley Cyrus will be drained dry of entertainment value by 2013," states the report. "Within two years, she'll be little more than a withered, desiccated husk, incapable of causing anyone any amusement at all."
And then the 2013 MTV VMAs happened.
