Pictured: Puberty gone wrong.

From a couple of days, weeks and months from now, many will remember this date as the day Miley Cyrus twerked on Robin Thicke on her performance on the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. It wasn't much about Justin Timberlake's reunion performance with his former boy band N'Sync, wasn't about Taylor Swift's alleged murmuring of swear words but the shocking performance brought about by the former Disney sweetheart herself. But let us not talk about that. Let us not let this one thing be the focus of that memorable day for a lot of people. And with that, I give to you 3 of the events that happened in August 25, 2013 that would somehow make you forget about Miley (for a while).


3. California Fire Continues to Grow
Well if you thought there are other alarming news that occurred on August 25, 2013 other than Miley Cyrus being somebody that a lot of people had not expected of her, it turned out there actually is. In California, several firefighters are still battling what seems to be a wildfire that is estimated to be as large as the city of Chicago.

1. Go Topless Day 2013
Need I say more? Actually, this Go Topless Day event is held every year and is usually the nearest Sunday to the Women's Equality Day which commemorates women's right to vote and to support gender equality. Hundreds and thousands of participants from North America, Canada and all over the world gather in several cities to show their advocacy towards gender equality especially women's right to go topless. These people strongly believe that wherever a man is deemed okay to go topless, so shall a woman. This is why a lot of women and men who support such belief gather and exercise this right and has been a tradition since the day it started.

So there you are folks. Those are just some of the less disturbing news that occurred on August 25, 2013 that would hopefully keep your mind away for the twerking incident. Got some other interesting news that occurred on August 25, 2013 as well? Don't be shy! Feel free to share and comment!
