Good Morning America – No to Lambert, Yes to Chris Brown. SERIOUSLY?!

So, here’s a serious WTF moment:

Avalon

ABC has booked Rihanna-beater Chris Brown for an interview and a performance on “Good Morning America” — right after the network canceled guy-kisser Adam Lambert.

Brown will do a taped tell-all with Robin Roberts, followed by a performance of songs from his new album. But TV insiders say the appearance, slated to air the week after next, has outraged feminists and gay activists who wonder why a convicted girlfriend abuser is more palatable to the network than an openly gay man who broke no laws with his raunchy performance on the “American Music Awards.”

They aren’t alone.

Seriously?  I mean, SERIOUSLY?

Look, what Lambert did was silly and immature – just as it was back in the day when Madonna did it.  Everybody freaks out for five minutes and then it becomes about as important as who cut a fart.

But the timing of this – canceling Lambert for being juvenile, and then airing Chris Brown who is a vicious thug… this isn’t a case of apples and oranges, this is a case of apples and OJ (of the Simpson variety).

It’s extremely hypocritical and I’m willing to bet, doesn’t stand.
