LONDON (Reuters) - Britney Spears has revealed that her mother was not upset by her daughter sharing an open-mouthed kiss with Madonna at the MTV Music Video Awards.

The kiss proved to be a real showstopper in last month's awards ceremony, with 21-year-old Spears' former boyfriend Justin Timberlake watching dumbfounded from the audience.

Spears, talking to this week's edition of the BBC's Top Of The Pops Saturday, said she was embarrassed knowing that her mother had seen her in a clinch with another woman.

"It was a little awkward -- my mom saw me kissing a girl, Oh My God, " she said.

But Spears added: "If it was any other girl, I think she'd really have something to say. But because it was Madonna, she was like 'all right, baby, you're cool'."

The young pop star's clinch with 45-year-old Madonna won global coverage: "It was a surreal moment I'll never forget for the rest of my life," Spears said.

Why were any supposed conservative people watching MTV in the first place? Hell, I threw my television out a long time ago because I found it to be an offense to me. I don't watch MTV. I have never seen a Britney Spears video. This kiss didn't bother me at all. I know there's lots of things- like George Michael- on MTV that I don't care to see so I don't watch it. Simple as that. This is like people complaining about what this or that porn star did in their latest offering- why would a 'supposed conservative' watch it in the first place?

Read the bible and you'll see prostitution isn't always exactly what you think. Yeah as if.

Well, if you look at how this whole thing is being played in the media, it's pretty obviously nothing more than a marketing campaign.

I noticed that AOL and others were continually running "polls" to find out how "outraged" we were. Now we have Slutney trying to keep it in the polls, and it's on the Cover of the Rolling Stone, and so on.

I give it a year before she does her Playboy spread...

It's kinda interesting, actually.

[SouthernFreebird]

Where have you been, it's been posted all over the news now since it happened. I didn't watch MTV but I've seen the kiss... posted right here among tons of other places.

You can't say homosexual behavior is wrong at the same time you take pleasure in watching people participate in it.

...trying to keep it in the polls

Er, keep it in the news...

"Legitimizing lesbian behavior to the young girls that constiute her fan base is rather disgusting."

I watched on TV as Mick Jagger and Keith Richard do a little tongue waggle dance thingy on each other's tongues when I was young. Hmmmm, didn't make me a homo. Although, I do like the feel of silk and I don't mind someone opening a door for me from time to time either. Come to think of it, I do feel safer on a woman's bike! Hmmmmmmm......

And she comes from a christian family, excuse me?!! I guess fame, fortune and greed does blind the heart and mind!

I'm sure it was, dear. Not only was it degrading, but she is old enough to be your mother.

[Ol' Sparky]

Not surprising, though, when liberaltarians praise such a thing.

[RoseofTexas]

Pardon me, I meant to say relgious family. I believe in the begining of her career she mentioned that her parents were church going folk. Don't remember what religion though!

Why was anybody watching it? MTV is known to be populated by homosexuals. Why would a conservative watch it? And if he did, why would he complain since he knew it was a sewer he was going to in the first place?

At any rate, I didn't see it. You see? That's the point. MTV is not a public place. It's a place people choose to go- just like the Cheetah Club in Atlanta. Never been there- 'hear there's T & A on display though. No conservative can come out guns blazing for not getting their money's worth in the whore house- all right? Plain cut. You watch MTV, you get what you ask for. You watch MTV- whether you're liberal or conservative- you can't pretend to be outraged at anything you see there.

Don't choose to participate in the event by watching it, reading the articles and discussing it and then come crying to me that you're offended. You're complaining about the filth you're standing in but you chose the street.

[Labyrinthos]

Who really cares. This has gotten far, far more publicity than either one of them deserve.

[SolutionsOnly]

That puts us on opposite sides in the culture wars then. So be it.!

[Ol' Sparky]

To anyone with an ounce of morality, yes, lesbianism and behaving like tramp and whore should be stigmatized. But, no one has ever accused liberaltarian types here of having any morality or sense of right and wrong.

[VU4G10]

White trash.

[WackyKat]

You're right. Human sexuality is something that should be stigmatized, because it is a dirty, dirty thing. Sorry, I don't see it that way.

Sex is such a filthy, disgusting thing that it should be reserved for married couples only.

Actually, most of us have a very strong sense of right and wrong.The difference is, ours is based upon rationality and evidence, not upon some old books and unanalyzed prejudices

[SouthernFreebird]

At any rate, I didn't see it.

Then you haven't even read this thread...check out post #11. You see I don't have to go slumming at MTV to be subjected to their slutty behavior.
