Influenza, schminfluenza. I'm glad stupidity isn't contagious, 'cause then we'd be so fucked.
I didn't watch the AMAs last night but I did see a video of Adam Lambert's performance. I didn't think it was all that risqué -- I mean, okay, he made out with a dude, but GUESS WHAT? GAY MEN MAKE OUT WITH DUDES ALL THE F'N TIME! I'm not sure why this is supposed to be such a shocker. Britney makes out with her male dancers and nobody says a word, but when Adam does it, it's risqué? As for the hip-thrusting, crotch-face, and BDSM props, uh, none of these things are new to evening television.
All the down-home folks bleating about how it was "inappropriate for television" because "OMG THINK OF THE TINY LITTLE CHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLDREN", gee, what the fuck were your little kids doing up at that time on a school night? Take some fucking responsibility for your own children instead of asking the entertainment industry and TV networks to do your fucking babysitting, you self-righteous, homophobic lackwits.
But of course, listening to these folks, it has nothing to do with Adam being gay. It's just gross when people kiss! Ewww, cooties! Germs! It's H1N1 flu season after all! Also it's gross when performances are sexually suggestive! Gosh! Not that Elvis (lives?), Michael Jackson (RIP), Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Madonna, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, or Lady Gaga would know anything about stuff like that.
Also, it's not family friendly. All this sexy stuff is not family friendly! Because I mean, it's not like sex is what you need to do to create a family or anything. That's just silly. Everyone knows children are born from HUGS! :) :) :)
It's 2009, motherfucker. Check your homophobia at the door, and if you can't, please do me a favour and die in a fire. The human gene pool no longer requires your services.
