Got this little story from here
"Event bosses are preparing to show rehearsal footage during the live event on Saturday if Tatu's performance becomes too sexually explicit."
I have a sinking intuition that they will make the switch to rehearsal footage at the merest hint of anything even remotely sensual. If they do, I wil once again shake my head in disbelief at the hyposcricy and over moralism that goes on in our culture.
Quite apart from the fact that I would quite enjoy seeing Tatu not only kiss but throw micrphones away mid-set, abandon the song altogether and engage in full on lesbian action right there on stage, why are we yet again allowing unseen people decide what's good for us to watch? Oh, because children might be watching? Give me a break. It's about time we let children know that the christians got it wrong - the hot collared conservatives were telling us lies - there's nothing wrong with liking someone of the same sex, even if you're 'only' 16. And there's nothing wrong with kissing them either.
As long as we carry on down this "heterosexuality is fine but if it's not a heterosexual relationship, it belongs in adult viewing time" bullshit road, we're not going to make much progress.
