Lesbian TV kiss is latest of many

HERE is the latest lesbian TV kiss – and it is set to leave Friends fans gobsmacked.

Blonde Aussie stunner Melissa George, who plays Rachel and Ross’s new “hot nanny” Molly, embraces her girlfriend Tabitha in front of Joey, who quips: “This is my ultimate fantasy.”

But the scene — which will be shown on Channel 4 on March 21 — is not the first girl-on-girl action in Friends. In 2001 Rachel snogged an old college pal played by Winona Ryder.

In fact sometimes it seems it is difficult to turn the TV on without seeing two women snogging.

TV lawyer Ally McBeal had a 25- second clinch with rival Ling Woo.

Then last year in Sex And The City Carrie Bradshaw locked tongues with Dawn — played by singer Alanis Morissette.

And British TV has had its fair share of lesbian smooches too.

In 1994 Brookside’s Beth Jordache kissed nanny Margaret in the doorway of her home. Six years later Brookie was at it again when Lindsey Corkhill snogged neighbour Shelley.

In 2001, Emmerdale followed suit, when gay vet Zoe Tatekissed ex-hooker Charity Dingle after months of feuding.

Then in last year’s BBC2 Victorian drama Tipping The Velvet, Nan and Kitty snogged and enjoyed steamy romps in bed.

As you stated, the kisses are rather tame if it's presented to the right age group. Two things about these programs presentations bother me. The emphasis isn't on just kissing. It's clear the kisses are not the end of the story. Secondly, at five to six p.m. who are the ones watching these programs? Kids old enough to watch are out of the home running around. It's the young ones that see this stuff and the inuendo that accompanies it.

Now, let's remember that it isn't outlawed to be a member of NAMBLA. This organization networks with the sole intent of furthering the idea of men and boys having sex. They pass around information that helps folks perpetrate and avoid paying the price. In light of this, just how bad is polygamy in comparison?

Not only this, but I was surprised to hear that it's a felony. NAMBLA is not offense. Polygamy is a felony.

Now if it's so bad, wouldn't you think the females would be guilty of something? No, there is no charge against the females involved in it.

Something is definately strange with regard to the enforcement of this infraction of the law.

I agree, it seems that the only reason the Media attacks the practice of polygamy is because of the Religion aspects. To the Media, it seems that you can have sex with any one or any think, but keep God out of the mix.

Also, the media hates polygamy because it would be too easy a solution to the quandries faced by these "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants.

Other than "Mail Call", there isn't much worth watching.

I was going to suggest my beloved "Junkyard Wars" untilI remembered the team of artists from CA who had two guys smooching. Oy gevalt!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Oh god! I know where you got that peter pan picture from. It's from the website of the guy who likes to dress up as peter pan characters. LOL. Beautiful! http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/

I just went to that website.

I am very afraid.

Yep. Just consider that if you call it "polygamy" it's illegal and immoral and if you call it "polyamory" it's a lifestyle choice.

You tell me - what's the difference between supposedly "mainstream" entertainment and pornography these days?

THing that makes me gag is that the producers and directors of these shows look down their noses at the pornography industry types

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, you're right. I think. Smile...

[TheFilter]

Why is it that two women kissing is considered sexy, whereas two men kissing is completely cringe-worthy?

[whipitgood]

What the heck is gobsmacked?

[MadIvan]

"Stunned into silence".

Thanks a bunch, I just spend the last half hour looking at Pixie Boy. I think the man has issues.

[whipitgood]

Thanks for the translation.
I find it interesting how TV uses the 'laugh track' to make things funny which are actually disgusting. I sit there shocked by what I just saw and the laugh track is making it sound like there is an audience laughing like crazy. Are we really supposed to think that stuff is funny and not offensive? Or is this an example of 'moral engineering' by Hollywood?

[Happygal]

By the way, just to clarify, just what kind of kiss is a "snog?"

Tonsil hockey! :-)

No, there is no charge against the females involved in it.

That's because they are not married to more than one person at the same time. The man is. If a woman had married multiple husbands she would be subject to prosecution too-- not that this would ever happen.
