“Good Morning America” has finally come to their senses had a change of heart and realized booting boy-kisser Adam Lambert off their show while booking an appearance by girlfriend-beater Chris Brown wasn’t a smart move. After admitting they received tons of complaints for this switcheroo (including from Frisky readers!), this weekend ABC un-invited Brown from performing on “GMA.” Instead ABC will air an interview with Robin Roberts about Brown’s abusive relationship with Rihanna, which was allegedly taped this weekend. We’ll all be treated to this second helping of pseudo-apologetic Brown-hooey during the primetime program “20/20” on December 11. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, is still persona non grata.

This whole thing is so f’d up. How stupid do the GMA people feel right now? What on earth were they thinking?!?! They should ditch all of these stories and do a segment on how dumb they feel right now. Let’s hope they’ve learned something from all of this.
At least they’ve come to their senses and realized that canceling a talented, albeit GAY performer for a convicted woman-abuser is not really a good idea. Hmmmm… took them long enough to figure that out. Adam Lambert is popular, talented and good for ratings. Oh, and he’s not a convicted criminal.

This is the most publicity GMA has received in years.
I didn’t even realize it was still on the air.

When does it end? I don’t condone what Chris did at all. But pretty soon GMA or any other network program will be able to show any artist, for whatever reason they choose. I just think we live in an extremely judgmental society and it will never end.

Do you think it should be mandatory for tv shows to have everyone on? This GMA stuff is a great example of social mores governing behavior. Chris Brown does something awful, GMA gives him positive reinforcement less than a year later, people freak out and email the hell out of GMA (I know I did), they respond to these people by taking away some of the positive reinforcement by not letting him do what he gets paid to do (sing and dance) and making him talk about the incident.

LOL. There are no epiphanies or life lessons to be learned here by corporate media… just bailing ad $$$. Consumers and advertisers are the real jury of Brown’s peers. He is far from a targeted victim.
