The fact that you specifically mentioned that is was male on male kissing leads me to believe that it significantly affected you enough to come here and complain about it.

Simulated oral sex in music, while not new, is more relevant and that's the reason given for GMA cancelling Adam's upcoming performance. Adam probably jumped the gun with this act and should have waited until he was at the level Madonna or Britney were when they simulated oral sex on-screen.
Yeah - I can understand some the sexual display being in plays; opera; etc. And I don't think there is huge issue with that especially as it relates to the plot etc. But it seems strange to me that the 'kissing and simulated oral sex' really doesn't take place when the song is recorded in a studio typically....right? So why does it take place during a TV show? Because its not about the music....its about shock. Who knows? It is way to early to know if this will effect Adam's career - although I kind of doubt he'll see much negative issues with it.
