Miley Cyrus Says People Are Missing The Point Of Her Nude "Wrecking Ball" Video

Apparently the point of Miley Cyrus' new video was NOT to showcase the naked singer, humping a chain and licking a sledgehammer. In fact, the meaning behind the video is way deeper. Just like Miley.
In an interview with Z100's Elvis Durant, the 20-year-old said that the 44 million plus "Wrecking Ball" viewers were missing what her video was really about: "I think the video is much more. If people get past the point I make, and you actually look at me, you can tell I look more broken than even the song sounds."
Yeah isn't it weird that people are distracted by your naked body? Umm do we need to bring up the sledgehammer lick seen 'round the Internets?
The song which is clearly about a relationship gone wrong, "is a pop ballad that everyone can relate to, everyone has felt that feeling at some point," said Miley. Well who among us can't relate to sauntering about in next to nothing but Doc Martens and riding a wrecking ball like it's a mechanical bull? Just another Wednesday at the X17 office if you ask us!
The twerktastic star said the video, which was directed by controversial photographer Terry Richardson, was meant to show her vulnerable side. Uhh could this video be a very obvious reference to her shaky relationship with "fiance" Liam Hemsworth. All signs point to yes. (We expect an official break up announcement any day now).
We also love that in the interview Miley seems to chastise people who are distracted by the flagrant nudity in the vid.
- "If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination and see what the video really means, it is so vulnerable. If you look at my eyes, I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record."
Here's a novel idea: If you didn't want us to be distracted by all the side-boob action -- maybe don't show all the side boob!
The Disney-girl-gone-bad also said, "It was a lot harder to do the video than it was to record the song. It was much more of an emotional experience."
We get that Miley does truly look sad in this video and that she wants her music to be taken more seriously, but maybe she should think about that before rubbing up against Robin Thicke's junk, diddling herself with a foam hand on stage and making a ridiculous video? All that said, we can't lie -- we think Miley has never sounded better and we can't stop, won't stop listening to this song!
