Adam made a phone interview with Fab Magazine, which main subject was the AMA – ABC and now also CBS controversy, as CBS shown Adam’s guy-guy kiss and the ‘fellatio’ move but blurred both once airing the fragments of Adam’s performance.
In the article connected to the interview we read:
According to CBS:
“We gave this some real thought,” a representative of The Early Show told the LA Times when asked why the network chose to blur a clip of Lambert’s man-to-man kiss from the AMA but then showed an uncensored version of the Madonna/Britney/Christina three-way smooch from the 2003 MTV VMAs.
“The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times, including many times on morning television,” said the CBS spokesperson, to the LA Times. “The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated and, for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences.”
“That’s weak,” says Lambert. “Someone didn’t give it some real thought when they did it.”
When Lambert, who used ABC’s censorship and the ensuing debate to point out the double standards applied to expressions of straight sexuality compared to those of gay sexuality, found out about CBS’s homophobic censorship, he says he “just laughed and went ‘Are you kidding me? You guys just proved my point, thank you.’ ”
