Parental
Television
Control
(PTC)
has
expressed
its
concern
to
American
Broadcasting
Company
(ABC)
over
the
Britney
Spears-Rihana
kiss,
as
they
believe
the
kiss
was
'too
vulgar'
to
be
shown
on
television,
that
too
on
primetime.
The
two
talented
singers
had
shared
a
smooch,
while
performing
the
song
"S&M",
which
kick
started
the
Billboard
Music
Awards.
ABC
television
network
had
aired
the
whole
award
ceremony
live,
on
May
22
from
MGM
Grand
Garden
Arena
in
Las
Vegas.
Tim
Winter,
the
president
of
PTC
has
expressed
his
outrage
in
a
statement
which
said,
“What
happened
in
Vegas
should
have
stayed
in
Vegas,
as
the
saying
goes," he
said,
adding,
“It
certainly
has
no
place
at
8:00
pm.
on
the
publicly-owned
broadcast
airwaves."
Tim
went
on
to
say
that
the
television
shouldn't
have
broadcast
the
'kiss
act'
on
primetime.
“I
cannot
imagine
what
would
possibly
lead
the
ABC
television
network
to
air
a
profanity-laced,
S&M
sex
show
on
primetime
broadcast
television.
The
overtly
sexualized
performance
by
Rihana
and
Britney
Spears
was
no
accident
or
mishap,
but
a
deliberate
effort
to
target
teens
with
images
and
lyrics
that
glamorize
whips,
chains
and
other
sexual
fantasies," he
said.
However,
this
is
not
the
first
'kiss
controversy'
that
has
surrounded
singer
Britney
Spears.
In
2003,
the
singer
had
shared
a
kiss
with
Superstar
Madonna
at
the
VMA
awards,
which
resulted
in
big
controversy.
She
seems
to
have
not
learned
from
her
past
experience.
