Could a family feud be brewing? The Parents Television Council is fuming mad after Miley Cyrus' sexually explicit performance aired with a TV-14 rating on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 25, and Cyrus' dad Billy Ray serves on the board.

In a statement released Monday via Rolling Stone, the non-profit organization criticizes the 20-year-old former Disney star for her half-naked performance of "We Can't Stop" and twerking-filled "Blurred Lines" duet with Robin Thicke.

"MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials -- while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable," said PTC Director of Public Policy Dan Isett. "This much is absolutely clear: MTV marketed adults-only material to children while falsely manipulating the content rating to make parents think the content was safe for their children. MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate 'twerking' in a nude-colored bikini. How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds? How is it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini in the opening act? How is it appropriate for 14-year-olds to see a condom commercial and a promo for an R-rated movie during the first commercial break?"

Making the situation even trickier? As Rolling Stone notes, Miley's famous father Billy Ray Cyrus is a member of the council's advisory board. The 52-year-old "Achy Breaky Heart" singer, however, hasn't shared his own opinion of his daughter's VMAs act. One day after Miley's Aug. 25 performance, he tweeted, "Thanking God for so many blessings tonight. Continue to pray for world peace. More love . . . less hate." Billy Ray later clarified that he was not speaking about Miley, explaining, "FYI 'Love Not Hate' Late last night I was watching devastating news out of Syria. Chemical weapons used on innocent children is unacceptable!"

With their new statement against MTV, the PTC is looking to see a change in legislation and how TV viewers pay for content. "We urge Congress to pass the Television Consumer Freedom Act which will give parents and consumers a real solution for future MTV VMA programs -- the ability to choose and pay for cable networks that they want vs. having to pay for networks they don't want," Isett said in the release. "After MTV's display last night, it's time to give control back to consumers."

Miley is a whore.

But people shouldn't let their kids watch MTV anyway.

To be fair Rihanna is WAY worse than Miley. And Lady Gaga had her arse cheeks on display as she only had a g-string on, so ya.

You expect that from Lady Gaga. Miley wanted attention, and she got it.

Exactly, the whole world is talking about her. Publicity is a great thing!

I agree, she wanted attention and she got it.

I don't get how suggestive dancing is more than TV-14.

Lmao, I love how we're all ok with some whore being a whore and getting money off it. Great parents you all will be.

When you're being bashed for it...no...it isnt

^^I hate when someone says that.
Just cause we (or I) could careless about what Miley does in her life, doesn't mean I'm going to do the same thing with my kids. I think I know better than that.

Razor acting like he knows shit.

RX, most celebrity's will do ANYTHING to garner attention from a fan base. Good or bad, it still makes headlines and they get publicity for it. Excuse us for not being more crucial on the matter concerning a 20-year-old, spoon-fed-since-birth celebrity who can do whatever the fuck she wants, while her daddy (in his own words) "loves her unconditionally, and that will never change".

I don't give half a fuck what you guys are going to do or not do. But people like Realt praising her for getting attention for doing whorish shit like that and you guys agreeing with her causes me to lose a giant deal of respect for you guys. Makes me question your mentality.

^I think the exclamation mark in realt's post pretty much indicates she was being sarcastic. The other two, however...

Honestly, if that was anything to go by, then you can imagine future performances and music videos. It was dirty for MTV, especially with kids watching. But they'll probably tone it down next time, I guess. Rihanna, Lady Gaga and now Miley are the biggest offenders, from what I've seen. Too much skin and overly sexual. Not just on MTV but over social networks and unfortunately kids will be exposed to it. Makes me worry a bit for the next gen.

Though I still like their music >_>

They can agree with who they want  
And by stating that sex sells and she makes loads of dosh from it who cares? That's what female pop singers have become these days. Don't sound so shocked

They are all whores.
