Halloween is over but apparently people continue to go back to Miley Cyrus and try to impersonate her. The pop starlet has made quite an impression around the world since she distanced herself from her Disney image and "re-launched" her musical career with a very raunchy performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards featuring Robin Thicke. The little Hannah Montana that we knew with her long blonde locks was gone. Instead, we got an overly sexualized teenager still trying to find her true sound strutting her stuff on the stage and dancing suggestively for the millions who watched the show.
However, we got to see a more vulnerable side of her with her second single "Wrecking Ball." A stripped-down (literally) Miley just poured her heart in that song and video, and although the Terry Richardson production was very clean and simple, focusing on Miley's emotions, the fact that they included a real wrecking ball and a naked Miley riding it while she sang, made the people only focus on that. The video went viral and many tried to imitate it, and since Halloween was just around the corner at the time, the flurry of Miley-inspired costumes, including "Wrecking Ball" ones were a must.
A lot of people also took to Vine or YouTube their own version of Cyrus' controversial video, parodying it, and this time around, there's a Facebook video going viral that shows a cut from the music video but with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto's head instead of Miley's. The president is shown riding the wrecking ball and even wiggling his tongue in a very Miley fashion. In less than a day, the video has gotten hundreds of likes and comments, ranging from "Our president has so much talent," to "I don't think it's fair that they ruin this amazing song like that." The video is titled "Ridiculizan a Peña Nieto con un video," which means "Peña Nieto ridiculed with a video."
Given the title of the post, some people even commented "He (Peña Nieto) ridicules himself with no help" and many just laughed at this parody. The video has now made it to YouTube and is piling up views and comments that mostly mock him. Check out the video below and let us know your thoughts. Do you think Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto deserves to be ridiculed like that? Or do you think this is a very disrespectful post?
