A lot of us would be ignorant about it, if only million moms would quit pushing it on us and causing the controversy.

I think you mean, a lot of parents would be ignorant about it, if we stopped helping each other out to keep informed of what is being thrown at our kids in almost every magazine, kid's book, T.V. show, movie, song and public school program in the country.

Gradual change is one thing. Brainwashing children with massive amounts of media and public school propaganda is another thing. I may not agree with everything Million Moms does, but hats off to them for keeping us informed.

You may want to take that to a relevant topic, because last i checked, a peck on the lips isn't anythign a child can't handle.

You're right... they are so out of touch with reality, they probaby don't know about her yet! Shhhhh.

P.S. Isn't it funny that she's the daughter of a preacher, and started out as a Christian pop singer? LOL

Will seeing this ad result in people dying or something?
Cuz, the morality meter only goes off when death is on the line?

Greed is good kind a perspective?

How about a Chimp and woman kissing? Now that would be something.

She said she sold her soul to the devil, in order to become famous. I think everybody will be doing it in the future....

It's all good.

Was it really crucial to be informed of two girls pecking on an Urban Outfitters catalog? I bet 99% of those kids would never have seen the catalog, but now that it's a news story they're all gonna know! Hint: When you make something out to be taboo or "dirty," it only becomes MORE intriguing to kids. I'm not a parent, and even I know that.
