Why Cougars Crave "Idol" Runner-Up Adam Lambert
Newsweek ^ | 6/11/09 | Joan Raymond

Posted on 06/11/2009 9:12:00 AM PDT by pissant

Let's talk images. A snake. A butterfly. A young man with his shirt unbuttoned to his waist, pouting at the camera. Lots of chest stubble. Alone, each image is rather boring. Put them together, and what you have is a hotter-than-Johnny Depp new Rolling Stone cover of American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. The 27-year-old dude who made guyliner fashionable again gave an interview to the magazine confirming—big surprise—that he's gay. What's really surprising: I can't stop thinking about him. And neither can any of my cougar-aged friends. We love Adam, truly, madly, deeply, in a kind of weirdly Mrs. Robinson sexual way. And the reason doesn't just have to do with our past lives as professional groupies. It also has something to do with biology.

Just a few short months ago, most of my female friends and I were clueless about Adam Lambert. We're busy, professional women, some of us with demanding families and children, all of us with demanding jobs. We never spent our Tuesday nights in front of the TV. Yet this year, for slightly more than two months, phone calls went unanswered and any type of social or familial interactions were put on hold on so we could plop ourselves in front of our sets at 8 p.m. to watch American Idol, the No. 1 rated show on TV, which none of us had ever bothered with before. It started innocently enough: A friend, waylaid by a flu bug, was channel-surfing from the comfort of her couch one Tuesday evening and saw a bejeweled young thing singing a scorching rendition of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." She left us phone messages and tweets, saying, and I quote, "ohmygawdyouhavetoseethisemoglambowielovechildonAmericanIdol." We went, "Huh," but we tuned in the following week. And then we were gone.

A 34 year old woman is considered “cougar”?

Regarding the ad, those are OLDER women? All three of ‘em are younger than I am!

Not that I’d turn any of them away, mind you. :)

My wife didn’t think he was a butt-pirate when I told her. I guess all the wrist flapping and eye liner didn’t give her a clue.

Yeah, I thought a cougar was by definition over 40.

So a self described poofter is now the fancy of women’s affections?

The homosexualizing of our culture continues apace.

"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." - Romans 1:27

The listed age is at least ten years out of date. The picture is 20 years out of date.

Cougars, MILF's, young tramps gyrating half naked on stage to get noticed, wow, the women's movement has destroyed all the femininity of females. If they're not acting like men, they're tying to see who can be the sluttiest

If you would like to renew your faith and remember what real ladies look and act like, check out the Celtic Women DVD

Their wholesome beauty and talent will bring a tear to your eyes and memories of what women used to be like

Yeah, I’m ancient. And by ancient I mean 41.

I think this is more about “non-threatening” sex-appeal. What could be more non-threatening than a man who isn’t interested in you sexually at all.

Milquetoast men have been celebrated for centuries as “safe” fantasies. This seems like more of the same.
