ABC: Cool with Woman Beating, Down on Men Kissing
We can't wait to hear ABC explain this one:
The network booted Adam Lambert off Good Morning America this week after he kissed a guy on stage at the American Music Awards.
However, the show is scheduled to air an interview and possible performance by Chris Brown next week, someone convicted of felony assault for beating on Rihanna.
“The network is giving a mixed message,” a source at ABC source told The New York Post. "It doesn’t trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault.”
That will especially be true if the show features a performance by Brown. It's one thing to interview him and perhaps shed light on the serious issue of domestic abuse.
But if Brown actually performs songs from his new album, ABC will be giving a convicted woman beater a platform with which to make money and promote his music.
Said another insider at the network:
“Chris Brown’s interview was booked way before Adam Lambert took to the stage. It is to give him a chance to respond to Rihanna’s interview. The possibility of him performing a song will be worked out next week.”
It's unclear why Brown should have a chance to respond to anything. Didn't he forfeit that right when he left his girlfriend a bloody, beaten mess?

Well, I am not surprised. Most Americans are turning or should I say have turned into blood thirsty demons. After all we want to see more blood, guts, killing, torture than wanting to see love, sex, or sexual moves anymore. We want more death, beatings, killings, hatred. After all we would rather spend trillions in Afghanistan and Iraq and maybe soon in Iran to kill people, but don't want to spend billions on saving peoples lives by a national health care system or through more peaceful routes. Oh, yes praise the woman beater who threatened to kill her, but we can't have two men kissing on TV. Affection is out. The feeling the crotch is a bit much, but better than seeing someone beat up on someone. Or is it? Most seem to get more excited and joy seeing some beat up or killed. Of course, whos to say if Chris Brown girlfriend was on the same show with him and she got him mad he would probably beat her up again right on TV. I bet most Americans would be cheering especially th

Oh I see ABC. Your reasoning is because “Chris Brown’s interview was booked way before Adam Lambert took to the stage" that it should go on as scheduled. Is it unheard of to cancel guests after they've been booked? What about Adam who was also booked to perform but then whose performance was CANCELLED?

Sheba, go look at congress! There are plenty of criminals! Ted Kennedy killed a woman and got elected over and over! Go look at sports there are plenty of law breakers! Please, Chris is paying for his crime. Now, Adam is paying for taking things to far! The difference is Adam will not have a record, people will forget depending on if Adam can leave parents alone! While Chris will have this forever. This is like comparing apples to oranges, you can't! Stupid to even try! Adams was wrong! Instead of apologizing he blamed parents! Why, because their children wanted to stay up late and watch a "special show"! Plenty of parents forever have allowed their children to! Some as an award for good grades, behavior and etc. ADAM WAS WRONG!!!!! Bringing Chris into the mix doesn't change a thing. That is call deflecting or trying to from the original action of the night which was Adam not Chris.

Adam took things too far with that crotch thing! Please Adam just go away. Chris has and is paying his dues! Senators and ball players have done worse without as much heat that Chris has and is getting. YES, Chris was wrong! Can't change it however he is paying for the crime, serving his time, and taking his classes and speaking out against domestic violence. Looks like Tiger Wood's wife needs to be charged! Also, Rihanna for earlier incidents in their Chris and Rihanna's relationship. Adam is a thrill seeker who doesn't respect anything or anyone but himself. When he made it what did he do? Dumped his lover! Adam is all about Adam.

Does anyone remember Madonna's videos EROTICA and HUMAN NATURE? Although I dislike explicit sex music videos by whomever, I still feel that all these critics of Adam Lambert are hypocrites.

Both are SCUM DOUCEBAGS and SUCK! ABC should be ASHAMED!! BOYCOTTING ABC!! NOT watching anymore!

My problem and disappointment with Adam Lambert has nothing to do with him kissing a man. I couldn't care less who he kisses. I was offended by him sticking a dancers face in his crotch and reaching above himself and putting his hand in the woman's crotch and keeping it there. His ego has exploded, and it saddens me to see him relying on cheap shock tactics to have people talking about him. He's already a has-been.
