You don’t have to be a senior citizen to agree that many parts of the MTV VMA show earlier tonight were not only cringe-inducing, but downright civilization-threatening.

I didn't watch any television at all tonight and I am glad.See!MTV is going to end western civilization. #ComeOnNow #DamnKids #GetOffMyLawn

I was going to live-tweet the MTV Music Awards, but I can't understand a word anyone is saying.

The exact moment of the fall? The perfect storm of twerking Miley Cyrus, the creepy teddy bears, and creeper Robin Thicke, of course.

Future reference: the exact moment that western civilization collapsed > Miley's vma performance. #no http://t.co/9KopOGbwvr
