Adam Lambert: The Grammar and Spelling Challenged Complain to the FCC

You might find this amusing–a website called Why Not Glambert has obtained letters sent to the FCC from people complaining about Adam Lambert’s American Music Award’s performance.

And, as you might figure, some of the letters are pretty hilarious–filled with hilarious grammar and spelling errors. I love America! And the Freedom of Information Act!

I’ve always maintained that the whole deal was much ado about nothing.   I was more offended by the less than stellar performance from Adam than the sexual stuff, so I have to say it’s somewhat amusing to read these letter from peeps who clearly have their panties in a bunch.

Check out all the letters right here. A couple of them are homophobic, but most of them are from folks who are completely freaked out by the sexual innuendo, that included crotch grabbing, kissing, S&M, etc.

A couple of examples after the jump…

DO SOMETHING NOW CAUSE IT IS OUT OF CONTROL
Please note that we watched ABC American Music Awards and I could not beleive what I had to watch with my 11, 13, and 16 year old. We had to send my son to bed who actually opted to goto bed because he was disturbed, my 16 year old who was disgusted, and my 13 year old who really does not like Adam Lambert. This was not tasteful watching another man go down on him, macking out with a person who was either a man or a woman, touching the croutch, um 50 cent contenstly being bleeped out, omg R U KIDDING this was not good. I cannot beleive that they are not going to be fined for this behavior. I am not a fan of Howard Stern but this was crossing the line and I will not watch this event again. i cannot believe that this was on national televeicion that this was on ABC and not MTV. You should be imbarrassed that you control this tv. Enough is enough. Where did the television standards go. Guess what there is none. Please make this stop and go back to better family standards. Cause this had NONE.

This writer will NEVER watch ABC again. You are the police of TV DO SOMETHING NOW CAUSE IT IS OUT OF CONTROL, and guess what Bitch is not a word it is a curse. We had 10 people here and they all felt the same thing as we did. We are not a Religious family but we instill family practices. and ABC does not. We are looking for a response.

Truely Disguisted
Adam Lambert performance. It was a porno with clothes on. I was watching with my child and I cannot believe that he was allowed to do that on tv. He had men and women sticking theeir faces in his crotch and at one point rubbed a girls crotch. It was very inappropriate for prime time network television and I am truely disguisted!!

COMPLAINANT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THAT THE FCC ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS COMPLAINT, AND THAT THE FCC KEEP ME INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS AND RESULTS OF YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

A lewd bisexual performance
The final act of the program was a lewd bisexual performance by Adam Lambert. During his performance he placed a males head in his genital area, rubbed his hand across a female’s genital area, and wildly kissed a male. THIS WAS CLEARLY OBSENE AND INAPPROPRIATE FOR BROADCAST TELEVISION. Please tell me that the level of acceptable content on television has not been lowered to include the perverse actions of immoral individuals.

    So, I’m just here for a short stint and to say I’m scanning comments is an over-/under-statement… This is purely a fly-by. BUT, I saw (an extremely passionate) post that hit me, and I felt the need to comment briefly, so here goes. (And for what it’s worth, I’ve no “beef” with the poster, someone from whom I’ve respected and enjoyed posts over time.)

    To say that “I was more offended by the less than stellar performance from Adam…. So poor singing offends you, but nothing else about his “act” bothered you at all?”

    It is possible, without judgment of people’s morals or mores, that someone felt exactly that. I know, because I did. It was eye-popping, in the sense that I knew that it would bring scorn from many, but the vocals were much more troubling for me knowing how talented the guy really is in the vocals department.

    So yeah, there are those of us out here that saw it just as MJ did. I’m not casting aspersions in the direction of those offended, so I don’t find it appropriate to cast them toward those who were not. Live and let live — try to define freedom any other way, I challenge you.

    In the workplace, if someone uses foul language or something that is interpreted as “sexual innuendo” in front of another co-worker or even someone who just hears it, that offender would be fired.

    The workplace is the workplace. The rules are set there not for moral reasons, but for reasons of creating an environment suitable for work and productivity. The TV is NOT the workplace; the entertainment industry is based around stimulating the emotions, especially sexual, sensual, or thrilling emotions, whereas the workplace is the opposite; emotions are meant to be kept reined in for the sake of not interfering with the work.

    Secondly, are you implying that any displaying of “sexual innuendo” should be treated in ALL public venues the way it is treated in the workplace–that is, resulting in a ban of the “offending” person from returning to that venue?

    I’m actually a relatively new fan of Adam Lambert. I’ve seen him on and off on American Idol but it wasn’t a show I followed. So I didn’t care for him.

    It was actually the AMAs that got my attention. When he performed, I laughed so hard. It was stupid, vulgar, and dirty. It was a trainwreck. But I loved it. It was raw and gutsy. I was very very entertained.

    I wasn’t offended. I’ve seen much worse on daytime television where kids are more likely to see. I was more offended by Eminem’s lyrics about Rape, which was disgusting. There was a little girl, age 11, from my neighbourhood who was found dead and raped so that brought back horrible feelings.

    Music Awards are raunchy anyways so I expected a lot of the acts to be sexual and in your face. I prefer sexual > violence anyways.

    I followed him during the fallout to see what he would do. He didn’t apologize and he stated ‘I’m not a babysitter.’ He took full responsibility and in no way blamed ABC. He kept his head held high and he was so blunt and honest. I started to admire him for not breaking down like anyone under that much pressure would and staying positive and looking forward.

    I watched his performances and checked out the Youtube clips of him. He’s a really really good singer. And well now I’m an invested fan.

    I’m sure I’m not the only one who came into his fandom because of his AMA performance.

    Good for you jem88. There are many worse things going on in the world than a risque and raunchy music performance by Adam Lambert. As MJ said, it really was “much ado about nothing”.

    I really laugh hard at this one:

    It shows that when people are enraged, they don’t think write straight.

    Hello! I am open-minded enough to appreciate all views on this subject. Adam has many loyal fans and I am sure he appreciates them to the fullest.

    I am only expressing views from family and friends. I also moderate a Parenting forum, so it is possible their views might be more harsh. Many loved Kris Allen, too. So, that may be part of it.

    At this point in time, I won’t be purchasing Adam or Kris’ album. However, I do wish them both the best of luck. No one can deny they are talenetd young men.
