EmailSouth Park has spoofed the spat between Sinead O'Connor and Miley Cyrus in its latest episode. The two singers had a spat after O'Connor wrote an open letter to the younger star warning her against allowing the music industry to "prostitute" her talent. In the South Park episode, Foofa from children's entertainment show Yo Gabba Gabba! (no relation to Hanna Montana, surely?) is being told by her friends to stop her raunchy behaviour. They recruit O'Connor to help, and end up urging her "not to show her 'strange' on TV" (watch a clip here, or the full episode on Comedy Central at 10pm on Wednesday). O'Connor can be heard singing "I'm looking for a boyfriend", a reference to her online search for a "sweet, sex-starved man" in 2011. But Foofa rejects their advice and ends up in another raunchy performance at the MTV Video Awards. As for the real Miley, she's moved on to another way to generate headlines, mocking In Touch magazine by posting its cover saying "Miley finally admits: I need help!" as her Facebook profile picture.
