The Price of Miley Cyrus Bangerz Tour Pranks Onstage: Fine in Mexico, Feud with Nicki Minaj, More Media Mileage

On Thursday, the Nuevo Leon state legislature decided unanimously to slap Miley Cyrus with P16,000 or $1,200 for lack of respect to the Mexico flag. And the fake butt she wore obviously taunting Nicki Minaj is like bracing up for more conflict in the weeks, or months to come with the equally feisty performer.

Give Miley Cyrus the benefit of the doubt. Maybe the 21-year-old only wanted to have fun whenever she performs her 'signature' moves onstage, including the two recent antics. But Mexico officials could not take it sitting down that she used the sacred flag, a symbol of their country, as props, in a desecrating manner of letting one dancer slap it onto her prosthetic butt while doing a sexual move.

"It is offensive that this young girl disrespected our flag and that we promote this type of entertainment, on which we lose something that is so engrained in ourselves, our sense of patriotism, respect, what unites us and characterizes us," said the National Union of Parents' president, Consuelo Mendoza García, in a Fox News Latino article. He said the act is uncalled for and an insult at a time when Mexico just celebrated anniversary of its independence.

The $1,200 was so petty a penalty for an act that drew raves in international media and made her more popular.

The butt issue between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj that started in August with the latter's release of Anaconda maybe an incidental matter. Miley used Nicki's picture with the latter's super curvaceous body and pasted her Hannah Montana look on, then made it her Twitter avatar. Just for fun. The gesture could even pass as a compliment for Nicki. But words had been hurled between the two from then that now, Miley decided to just add the fake butt to her pranks.

Spectators of Miley Cyrus's concerts expect the 21-year old singer to always play her usual antics onstage once she starts the performance. Skimpy garbs, raunchy moves, the signature twerking and sexual innuendo for every gesture will accompany every song and dance act. It's either they are ready for it, or not see it.
