Both trashy, neither performance should have aired on a regular network channel. Cable is the place for porn, whether simulated or real. It's still true that there's a time and a place for everything, even if the socially-challenged aren't able to recognize that.

Fox is not a cable channel. It is a national network TV station, just as ABC is. Exactly what are the differences between the Billboard Music Awards and the American Music Awards? They're both televised awards shows that invite popular artists to come perform their music. Artists are free to stage their performances for both shows. Also, the AMAs came with a TV-14 rating. Maybe you should have looked at that beforehand and decided it may be inappropriate for children to be watching. There were several racy performances that night. Use your own discretion. Lastly, Adam's performance was at the very end of the program, close to 11 pm. FCC does not monitor for content past 10 pm. ABC didn't have to worry about getting fined.

Honestly, this is inappropriate, too. Pink is a trashy girl. This performance should have been addressed. I think fox has different standards (ie:family guy, simpsons, etc)...and everyone knows this. Fox was a cable channel, too. They have become a mainstream network news source and primetime viewing outlet for many....but the Billboards compared to the AMA's....really!! The standards of each event are polar opposites. The fact remains that what Adam did, on the show that was rated for family viewing, was inappropriate. If they had issued a warning to the viewing audience, prior to airing it...it would have been acceptable. They just did this on this respectable program, during a family rated special event. IF you cannot see this, that is your own problem....it simply is a fact.

Move on ABC. You're setting a bad example for the progression of American culture. The rest of the world is laughing at you for being so lame.
