This is where we disagree: The notion that two grown, well respected MARRIED actors would purposely kiss on the mouth to titallize the audience is preposterous. Douglas bent down to kiss his friend after his friend just got through saying glorious things about him, and Devito got on his tippy toes and their mouths clicked. It was totally innocent. How you can compare that with simulated sex and even assault (a man ripping a woman's shirt off)is ridiculous.

Do you honestly think Devito and Douglas kiss when they greet in private? NO. It wasn't intended to titillate. But it was staged. They are after all- *actors.*

It was staged, for whatever reasons, (most likely to poke fun at conservatives for being upset with the Brittany Spears/ Madinna french kissing stunt, and like the STAGED STUNT with Janet Jackson,( btw, it isn't assault when it's staged, my friend) it drags our society down, by poking fun at those of us that don't like our kids to see this crap.

As I said, we all have our thresholds of tolerance, and yours is differant then mine. That's OK, you'll get plenty of opportunity for outrage too. This *staged* shock therapy is only going to get worse.

Be prepared to being told you have a "dirty mind", when you express your disapproval. It's the liberal/socialist defense.
