This has become an utterly rotten, corrupt and decayed culture.
I keep looking up for the big asteroid. Can't be long now.
Her trashy dancing with a cast of thousands is OK for her concerts where people know what they are paying for. Fine, blow your cash on that. But for prime time TV seen all over the world? What are people in other nations supposed to think? That America is a trash superpower that exports this trash under the guise of entertainment?

My brother travels ALL over the world in the aviation inspection industry and says just THAT.
Preople think we're more black than white because of sports and obama.
People think we're still the ugly American and we SHOULD be taken down
It IS what they see that forms their opinions.
You’ve got it right, America is a trash superpower that exports this trash under the guise of entertainment. And it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
Our popular culture is trash, no question about it. Most TV shows are unwatchable to anyone with an IQ above room temperature, most "music" is just an excuse to adolescent sexual gyration with a drumbeat in the background, and books and magazines seem to be written for audiences with a 4th grade literacy level.
Who is to blame? Not the studios or companies that peddle it, but the consumers who demand it. And the reason we "export" this to other countries is because their public demands and is willing to pay money for it. If they public demanded high quality, the studios would gladly make a buck on that instead.
If you see trash on the TV or hear it on the radio, don't blame the broadcasters. Blame the consumers for not demanding better. They give us Beyonce and Madonna's crotches at the NFL halftime show instead of a piano concerto by Schumann or Brahms not because of some grand conspiracy to dumb people down, but because Beyonce and Madonna sell well to millions while a piano concerto sells to a handful.
Don't like it? Vote with your wallet by consuming and supporting the entertainment and culture that you like. Make sure that there's always a niche market for it against a backdrop of the trash that you can't stand.
