Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs

Now, I would like to briefly (or not so briefly) mention Adam Lambert's performance during the AMA's on Sunday night... I was appalled, and I'll tell you why:

He fingered the audience, grabbed a female dancer's crotch, shoved a male dancer's head into his crotch, made-out with his (straight) male keyboard player (which was unplanned), and basically held an S&M party on stage. The part that appalls me is the fact that it was during primetime, so lots of kids were watching.
He claims that everyone is over-reacting and that female "artists" (such as Madonna) have been doing this stuff for ages. That may be true, but Madonna did it when she had been in the industry for 20 years and can survive a little controversy. Not to mention, nobody has ever done anything to the nearly X-rated extent to which Adam took it, so he can't even come close to making that claim.
He is even claiming that people are over-reacting because he is gay, which is ridiculous! He needs to get the idea into his head that if he had shoved a female backup dancer's head into his crotch, we would have reacted just as appalled. It was what he did, not who he did it to (and I know that sounds dirty, but so was his performance).
I think I can safely say that if his career isn't mostly over by this point, it's at least severly damaged. He's going to need a miracle to redeem himself for this and to gain back the thousands (or even sadly millions) of fans that he has lost because of this. Actually, I wouldn't be broken up about never seeing him again.
Bye bye Adam!

Here's the video for a song that's awesomely electronic and very catchy:
"Fireflies" by Owl City

Some of the lyrics of this song actually confuse me, yet make me giggle at the same time. There's one part that goes like this:

"Cause I'd get a thousand hugs, from ten thousand lightning bugs."

Now, does that mean that he gets a thousand hugs from a thousand small groups of ten lightning bugs? Or, does it mean that he gets a thousand group hugs from all ten thousand of them? Or, does it mean that he gets one hug from each of one thousand of the ten thousand bugs, and the other nine thousand don't get hugs?

OK, here is a video of Jim Carrey way-back-when he was on a little sketch comedy show called "In Living Color". It's where he got his start, and he was certainly the goofball we have all come to know and love. Here is one of his signature characters from the show: Fire Marshall Bill!
