Miley Cyrus Has Upset the Giant Finger Creator

Proof Yet That America is Not Yet Ready for the Coming Fall Crises

The US faces the prospects of a terrible fall season, what to do if anything in Syria and what to do about the crazies in the Republican party who would destroy the US economy in their attempt to save it.   But the real news is this.

Miley Cyrus faces wrath of giant-finger creator

Attention, Miley Cyrus: The inventor of the giant "We're No. 1" finger is so not happy with you right now.

Fox News reports that Steve Chmelar, who created the original version of the now-ubiquitous fan accessory in 1971 to support his Iowa high school basketball team, is not pleased with the way Cyrus used his invention as a phallic symbol during her controversial dance with Robin Thicke at Sunday's VMAs.

"She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it," Chmelar, 59, told Fox News.

However, the VP of commercial sales at a construction supply company is staying positive. "Fortunately, the foam finger has been around long enough that it will survive this incident. As for Miley Cyrus, let's hope she can outlive this event and also survive."

Yeah, if America can deal with the finger crisis then figuring out what to do about Syria should be easy going.
