There's a poll where you can vote on whether CB should be banned from appearing on DWTS. 78% say he should be banned. |

Hyprocrisy is an issue with me. If they hadn't banned Adam, and didn't ban CB, that's their decision. If they banned Adam and also banned CB--again, their decision. But to ban Adam and not CB, when Adam's actions were so much more benign, is simply not right.

When I jotted off a letter to ABC I described Adam's antics as kissing a band member and simulating a sex act. For me, violence is still worse than what Adam did at the AMA's at a time when all children should have been in bed. ABC stinks as a role model for good TV and good executive decisions regarding their network. I am going to watch ABC as little as possible. There is only one show I like on that network, and I don't know if I can give it up. I will try, however. I am that upset over their treatment of Adam. Chris Brown has not committed an act of violence on live television though. Not that what he has done is right but there is a very clear difference between what has been broadcast to millions of viewers and what took place in the privacy of a car (or dressing room). I agree that ABC are hypocritical assholes for cancelling Adam and then welcoming someone like CB with open arms but the situations are completely different IMO. Would it be wrong of GMA/ABC to have Mel Gibson on to promote his next film? He's a known racist and woman beater. How about Sean Connery? Again, abusive to women. How about Paris Hilton? She's been arrested several times for drugs and her DUI. Where and when does the line get drawn as to who we deem appropriate and who gets to decide? I am still reading the thread but wanted to comment on this. I am certain few will agree with me but..... I do not want network executives restricting who can be on TV based upon their moral view. Viewers should vote on things like CB with their remote controls. I also do not see what CB had to do with Adam, and I never have gotten it. Specifically regarding Adam and ABC..... Adam admitted he improvised part of his performance so we know that some parts were not in the rehearsal and not cleared by the ABC exec and lawyers. So I actually understand why Disney/ABC could have a valid issue with Adam but IMO their response should have been because a substantial portion of the performance was not reviewed and approved -- and for no other reason. They foolishly did not have the guts to specifically say the kiss was OK. And they never releases the rehearsal tapes because they really were not concerned about the fact that the performance content was changed, IMO they just wanted to avoid a major battle with the FCC and Christian Right. So IMO Adam and ABC were both wrong. CB should be shunned by viewers (but will not be). But -- over a year later -- Adam is a bigger star because of the AMAs than he would be without them so I think it is time to move on. Like the ninja roll, he tripped, he improvise and came up singing.It was an accident, but a good accident. It made him a bit infamous, a bit less Idol-sanitized. It helped him gain some cred. And with the baggage of musical theater+Idol, in 11/09 he needed all the cred he could get -- particularly within the gay community. |

Do you have your copy of the Aftermath Remix? Buy for limited time only on www.adamofficial.com to support @trevorproject Adam obviously really wants us to buy this before it's sent to itunes (maybe with the difficulty of finding it on adamofficial he's not selling as much to benefit the Trevor Project as he would wish?) If you'd like one but aren't able to buy it, remember it's on offer at the gifting post here: atop.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=inspired&action=display&thread=95Also there are a few people gifting the Glamnation DVD in the "inspired by Adam" section too... |

Gelly, did you ever say where the pictures of Adam on page 11 came from? I may have missed it.
