I really wanted to see what EVERYONE was talking about… and when I did I couldn’t help but think; “THAT’S IT!?”

Big deal. I didn’t SEE any tongue, maybe I missed it because it lasted a second.

No doubt they acted a little like hoe-bags, but not in a bad way, Yookeroo.

Rosanne is that woman with the show, right?

I saw a clip of it.

Ho-hum. It looked like two women “faking” a kiss–a passionless kiss–all for show. Just to try to get a reaction.

I didn’t really give it much thought. Kind of smacked of cheap desperation to me.

What suprised me about Madonna last night was how sophisticated and talented she seemed next to Brittany S and Christine A. who seem to me to be bubbleheads or skanks. And I don’t even like Madonna.

The kiss was kind of ‘fleeting’.

Well. Please. In 1987, I worked on a little-known gem called [Mondo: New York](http://bizrate.lycos.com/,mpd__cat_id--5105,prod_id--2010999,rf--wgg.html).

During the filming of that project, I stood in the Kit Kat Club, no more than 10 feet from the stage, and watched one Karen Finley do things to her body. These things involved ( amongst other items ) many, many raw eggs.

You want to see sombebody who really WAS cutting edge? Go check out Finley. These wanna-be’s, they’re just wishing they had the chops.

Wow. Three women make out on MTV to garner reaction. Said reaction happens.

Wow.

Well, at least we got to see the pseudo-gay kissing. When Marylin Manson performed one year, he had a bunch of men dressed as cops in riot gear come out.

Now, mind you, up until this point, the frat boys in the pit were headbanging mightily to MM as part of their “look at me rebel, Mom, I’m grooving to this androgynous guy! I’m so cutting edge… I’m so cosmopolitan.”

Then the cops started to turn to each other and dance with each other. Then dance dirtily. Then start kissing.

Camera immediately cuts away from them. Can’t go to the camera on MM, because the kissing cops are in the background. Here’s a good idea, thought the control room, let’s go back to the pit boys…

The pit boys, however, lost all their energy. They were just standing there freaked out by the kissing cops.

Who’s cutting edge now?

Y’all talking about same-sex loving? Reminds me of the old Saturday Night Live episode, when the Rolling Stones were playing (“Shattered” maybe?), and the camera zoomed in, and there they were, Mick and Keef, trading tongue spit.

That’s all we could get in those days. And we liked it!

Damn, kids these days . . . don’t know how good they got it.

OK, I like to see women kissing as much as the next hetero male (or presumably, the next homo female, as well). But…

What’s the appeal, here? The fact that two women are kissing? About a tenth of a second on the Web will nab you thousands of pictures of women kissing, many of them hotter than Madonna or Brittney. The fact that it’s those particular women? Please. If you had asked me yesterday “What two female celebrities are most likely to stage a publicity-stunt kiss”, those are the two I would have picked. This isn’t inconsistent with Britney’s image; this **is** Britney’s image. Is it supposed to be because the kiss was unplanned, or that the tongue was unplanned? Dollars to donuts that they choreographed the whole thing, and rehearsed it tongue and all. So what’s the big deal?

The only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about.

As evidenced by how quickly they were able to cut to Mr. Timberlake, which indicates a prepared camera.

Or, in its alternate construction: "Say what you want about me, as long as you spell my name right. (Traditionally ascribed to Huey Long.)

Eh… that show is taped… Everything is choreographed, every single thing is placed where it should be. They can even cut an act and redo it again if it comes out wrong.

Hope this isn’t too much of a hijack from the hot lesbian discussion, but did anyone else feel a bit :smack: when justin Timberlake said to Timberland (his producer, a big black guy) “We did it, boy!” upon receiving an award?

I was thinking “you probably didn’t mean it maliciously but, no, Justin don’t call him that.”

Huh. I’ve seen more lesbian action in my own bedroom.

And I can’t imagine why anybody would willingly kiss Christina Aguilera.

In all seriousness now, I’ve probably seen hunders of fake lesbians kissing. For reasons outside my control I found this way way hotter then any of those. Maybe it was Britney showing all that leg, or maybe it was me hoping Britney and Christina would make out while they were rolling around on the floor. Or it could have been Christina’s ass and that fake tan she had going. Whatever the reason may, seeing Britney and Madonna embrace like that… oooooo… How I wish Britney would have kissed Christina too…oooooooo…
