Pop star Miley Cyrus — best known for putting her butt on Robin Thicke, her backup dancers, and a comically oversized bust of another butt — is in trouble with Mexico for putting her butt on something else this time.
During a performance in Monterey, Mexico, on Tuesday, Cyrus' sidekicks whipped her backside with the Mexican flag, much to the chagrin of local lawmakers who accused her of "desecrating the flag," according to AFP. (The lawmakers did not comment on Cyrus' desecration of Beatles songs nor of listeners' ears, however.)
