    Everyone has someone in their family that embarrasses the ferg out of their people, as a whole. (If you can't think of anyone, then it's probably you.)

    The answer may be to raise your kids not to turn into whatever douche-royale is depicted on the screen. Let it be a lesson to you, and stop the madness! It’s a PSA really.

    In the end, they're behaving like most twentysomethings--only with more spray tan, hair products, steroids, and terrible fashion sense. The guido lifestyle was once the domain of lower class Italian-Americans using (what they considered) flash and violence to cover up poverty and/or ignorance. (Sound familiar?) Mall culture, MTV, and the cinematic portrayal of macho gangsters in television and film have spread the code to alot of other races at this point. Calling this a stereotype of just Italian-Americans is like calling Glee a stereotype of just gays.

    I'm Italian, and, while I'm not in the "Oh my god! If people watch the Soprano's they'll think we're all involved in organized crime!" camp- mostly because I feel it's beneficial to have people think I could have them killed. But this show is just ridiculous. Oh my god! We all have bad tempers! We're hypersexual! We love hair products! We have big meals! We love our family! Oh! And we're really, really stupid. Like Tony Danza on Taxi.

    In the words of Derek Faye, "Who, dear? Me, dear? Gay, dear? No, dear!"

    Also, his "singing" is atrocious. His notes were either flat or sharp (quite the accomplishment) and his tone was eerily reminiscent of a buzzsaw at a logging camp.

    We have already seen the "sexy antics" as pioneered by Madonna, aped by Britney, and lampooned by countless comedians. At this point, the pointless dramatics are simply a cover for a lack of talent.

    Before Adam Lambert was torched for his appearance on the AMAs, who, other than teenagers, was waiting for his appearance that night?

    I'm over 18. I no the kid's name because of google search but had knew no details about him, except he was once on AI.

    The last time I checked, AI had a HUGE under 18 fan base.

    But it's nice that everyone is trying to pretend he was a part of their demographic before Sunday night. I support your fake outrage.

    @DahlELama: Yep, but since I don't know why adults watch it, I'll pretend the over 18 audience doesn't exist. Or, even, that most of the over 18 audience are parents to the under 18 audience.

    Altho, AI has produced some good talent.

    This story has really exceeded its best before date. Why the fuck should Adam Lambert be explaining himself to America's parents/ Everyone on that stage was a consenting adult. End of story. Fox News vomits out hate speech 24 hours a day. Go online and you can easily find photos of the First Lady of the United States depicted as a monkey. And folks are worried about a FAKE blowjob? Get your priorities straight parents and then maybe most of your children wouldn't be so unpleasant to deal with.

    @topsy: What does the consent of the people on stage have to do with anything? The debate, such as it is, is whether it was appropriate for the audience to see, not whether anyone on stage was victimized. By that logic, we can air hardcore porn on Nickelodeon, since the participants consented.

    @topsy: Actually, the "consenting" part is where I'm suddenly confused. If these parts were really "impromptu," then when and where does the consent to have your face shoved in his crotch come in? Because that's an onstage surprise I don't think I'd enjoy.

    @Fuzzy Dunlop: With all due respect, what a stupid thing to say. The AMAs aren't Sponge Bob Square Pants. It's an adult show in an adult timeslot where CONSENTING adults have often taken the opportunity to express themselves in a SIMULATED sexual manner. If the kiddies were up then that's on the parents to monitor what they watch on an adult show.

    This whole thing is just so absurd. Girl on girl action is practically a staple of prime time tv these days and its not even a blip on the radar with no panicked cries to save the children. I'd been more concerned with teaching today's kiddies such blatant hypocrisy Lambert came on after 11pm, so he didn't violate the family hour. Is gay sex so threatening to folks? What do you think those boys have been up to all these centuries?

    This show reminds me of the attempted BET show "Hot Ghetto Mess." People screamed bloody murder over the exploitation, but managed to overlook the show didn't create the culture it was mocking, nor did the culture cease to exist just because the show didn't happen.

    He's right. Total double standard. I covered my kids' eyes during his antics, but I distinctly remember the 1980 AMAs when my father yelled, "Get in here, boy! Lionel Richie's face-fucking Donna Summers!"

    My only comment is that he has really cute ears. And that dark hair dye is hilarious.
    I want to see him as a blond.
    I'm indifferent to the music and the performance.

    Edit: I think he's got a great attitude about the thing. Kids will be fine.

    I'm from Long Island, and this "type" does not discriminate. I've seen guys like this who are Italian, Irish, Puerto Rican, Jewish, and everything in between.

    I realize that I may be going against the grain, but he's an arrogant little prick. And it'll probably be a long time (or at least until he learns to see the cameras and realizes that eleven o'clock east coast is ten o'clock in the center of the country), before he gets invited to perform on another primetime network show.

    Note: I wasn't personally offended, but the dude is just releasing his first album and it's a bit early to be telling parents that it's their own damn fault.

    @Magister: Maybe if people reminded parents that they should be more involved in the lives of their children, this wouldn't be an issue. Adam Lambert shouldn't have to pay some sort of dues before he is entitled to an opinion.

    @kappakappaspankme: What does this have to do with being more involved with your children? Letting your children watch an awards show is poor parenting now? It wasn't the Vivid Porn Star awards, it was a mainstream music awards show with performers that a lot of children listen to.

    @Troy Barnhardt: What time was Adam Lambert's performance? I understand it was late in the evening which would lead me to wonder what time little kiddies go to bed. As for the older kiddies seeing it - you know what - they probably see much more interesting stuff on the internet.

    If a child was exposed to a passionate kiss on television and the parties involved were hetero, would this even be an issue?

    @kappakappaspankme: If it were a kiss, probably not. A fake blowjob, probably, regardless of the gay / hetero angle. My wife and I kiss in front of our daughter, but I'm pretty sure we've never had oral sex in front of her. It's not quite the same thing.

    I didn't see the show and couldn't really care less whether he's gay or not, but you have to admit that faking oral sex in the middle of an awards show probably wasn't the best idea.

    Doesn't MTV rely on this formula? My Sweet 16: Obnoxious & rich 16 year olds. Laguna Beach: Obnoxious and rich high school kids from Cali. The City: Obnoxious and rich "socialites and hipsters" from NYC.

    These are just obnoxious (and rich? haven't seen the show yet) people from the Jersey Shore.

    If we're going to get upset it should be because MTV can't come up with a new fucking idea.
