Cyrus's VMA performance 'degraded' the 'honourable' foam finger

Miley Cyrus "degraded" the "honourable icon" that is the foam finger with her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) says the prop's inventor.
Steve Chmelar invented the original "No. 1 hand", which was originally used in support of a high school basketball team, and was shocked to see the 20-year-old singer wagging her tongue, gyrating up against Robin Thicke and using a foam finger in a sexually suggestive way at the VMAs last Sunday night.
