So Janet gives a handjob to a dancer at 7PM and Eminem sings about raping a bunch of women, but it's okay. Nobody complains, nobody will be banned from anywhere.

CBS just blurred Adam/Tommy kiss, but showed the Britney/Madonna/Christina one.

And people really think there is no discrimination going on? Nice.

TOTAL discrimination.

Dontcha just love double standards.

And let's not forget all the blowjobs we see in SYTYCD and DWTS. Come on now.

[raynedanser]

Yep. As he said, it's because it's HIM. *gasp*

Now see, why there wasn't so much controversy over Prince for example? It's because the American public now is even more puritan or because Adam is, well, big all over and has this "I could fuck you and your wife and you know you would love it" attitude? Who knows.

That's freaking ridiculous. You'd think they'd at least try to be a bit less obvious about it.

Adam Lambert and his bass player. People freaked out because they kissed on tv, OMG! And he was banned from Good Morning America because of that and some man on man groping.

I KNOW. Way to prove Adam right, CBS :P

seriously? they blurred the Kiss? That's ridiculous.

While I thought his performance Sunday was a bit over the top for network television, I thought it was the sex simulation that did it. After seeing this.. it now makes me think that the kiss was the bigger issue. How ridiculous.

It's the man on man action that's the problem here. He grabbed the hair of a female dancer and pretty much did the same movement and, like Janet handjob, nobody paid any attention. Hell, you can see simulated blowjobs all the time at SYTYCD/DWTS and they are family shows pretty early in the night (AMA will never be a family show).

I'm not American, so I won't say what should be fine or not on network tv over there at 11PM. But let's just say at some point even straight kisses were banned from tv. And considering even in my Catholic country you see these dance movements all the time in network tv in the middle of the day and nobody dies, well, is it such a big deal? I prefer a BJ at 11PM than "I'm the shit, I raped a bunch of women" at 8PM. Just saying.

This seems to be a case of the networks getting push back from whatever groups and not wanting to get complaints over something stupid like this.
