The Kiss That Shocked The VMA's

*SMOOCH*



By now, everyone has heard of the kiss this section of my page is about. The shocking kiss between three already contraversial ladies, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna. It's been in the headlines, it's been replayed over and over again, and it resides soundly in the dreams of pubecent young men all over the world. It's also become a pretty large portion of chat subject and message posts all over the internet. The pictures are flying, and the three ladies (I'd use the term "young" but Madonna's old enough to be my mother) got exactly what they wanted...free publicity. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first, it was a publicity stunt. Many of you who have your own thoughts and own minds already knew this, but there are the stupid ones out there that believe there is legitimate love and/or lust between these three women. Respect maybe, but not love...and deffinatly not lust.




Let us look back a little bit, and maybe I can shine some light on this to those weaker-minded souls that don't comprehend what I'm saying. Madonna has been around since the beginning of time for many of you. And your entire lives she's been doing things very similar to this to simply gain the eye of the public and to make people talk. Take the 1984 VMA awards, just 19 years earlier. Madonna, dressed in a wedding dress, writhed and wriggled all over the stage singing her VERY contraversial and popular song, "Like A Virgin". She made love to the stage that night, and let me tell you all, that was no virgin on the stage that night. She had her way with it, and she was written about, talked about, and is even to this day that very act of vulgarity is talked about (I Love The 80's on VH1 mention it in their tribute to 1984). It was that very act that Britney and Christina were re-enacting before that kiss on stage at the 2003 VMA's. Hell, both Britney and Christina have been doing things for some time trying to get people talking. They way they dress during a performance, their new videos and songs, and the people they date and break up with, then tell you over and over the torrid tales of their break ups and how horrible the whole thing has been on them.




Now don't take my use of the term "Vulgarity" or anything else I'm saying the wrong way, I'm not against it at all. As the matter of fact, I enjoyed every second of Madonna writhing on stage in 1984, even if I was only 5 years old, and I certainly enjoyed the kiss here in 2003, even if I am an old man at 24. I think it's great that Britney and Christina are breaking away from their shells as "BubbleGum Pop Princesses" and moving slowly into the nastier sexually deviant dreams of pretty much every straight male on the planet, and some of the women too. And even at her age, Madonna is hot. Period. No woman has ever, or probably will ever, dominate those very same dreams like she has over such a long time.




So I say, whatever you have to do to get attention, go for it. I mean, it's not unheard of in the Pacific Northwest...a certian unamed person went on a nationally viewed sleezy talk show, pretended they were a nerd in school, but now they were a world champion, and confronted a hired "bully" for no more reason than to get her name out. It's cool, I'd have done it too given the opprotunity. I guess the moral of the story is, don't believe everything you see, because people will do just about anything to get you, the PAYING public, talking about them. And watch for me, because I'm not above it and I'll probably do it too someday.


Play On,
