you decide: newsworthy or not??


I am sure everyone has heard about it by now. Adam Lambert, of American Idol fame and his infamous performance on the American Music Awards. What was all the fuss about, well during his performance, not only did he simulate oral sex with one of his dancers, but he also kissed another male dancer as well. And boy, was there outrage. Now is this really as racy as everyone has been saying? We must keep in mind that everyone has always popularized two women kissing, we see it on TV all the time, and now that this happens there seems to be a grave double standard. Adam Lambert was scheduled to be on Good Morning America (aired on ABC just like the AMA's was) and they cancelled him after the incident, so The Early Show on CBS invited him on, and he proclaimed that he was not going to apologize for what he did, and he is not a "babysitter". Personally, I find the whole thing funny. People are saying everything from "he's shoving his sexuality down our throats" to "it was an inappropriate display for children". Thoughts? Was this really newsworthy, or blown out of proportion?
