Bryan, i am sorry, i just found your reply now, i overread it somehow. i'm sorry.
Although late, i want to respond anyway.
I agree that this kiss normally would not be worth discussing this much but that is the dark side of being a star and media object. everything they do, everything they say and every step they take weighs hell of a lot more compared to us. A star is always subject of examination and evaluation by the public. If someone hits his dog cause he didn't sit on the down comand, it is someone and the dog just didn't listen. if this someone suddenly turns out to be mel gibbson or arnold schwarzenegger hell's unleashed.
i agree that it is those famous personalities have a very big role model function. I do not think that we should try to control and reason those personalities too much. parents should furthermore pay attention to what stars their kids admire and not how those stars can be influenced or should behave instead of the way they do. Sure enough a child searches and chooses the example it can follow itself, but parents can influence that, can't they?
Lower in the posts, a valid point was made. there are suitable sorts of channels and contents on TV for each and every group. Watching MTV with persons that are not suitabel, or better said with people that MTV is not suitable for, is a weak basic to complain from.

I would think that parents can have the greatest influence of all on their children. Too bad so many don't realize this. I would think that there are so many factors that play into what I firmly see as a decay of values. Ultimately, it is the parents. Perhaps that would be a place to start. My wife and I had 5 fetal alchohol effected children for a while. The average cost to raise one FAS child is about $1.5 million, and there are an ever increasing number of cases each year. What do we do about this direction we are going? I sure do not have the answer but I have some idea about the cause.
