NYT correction: Lambert and bass player "licked each other's lips"

The New York Times issued the above correction to Jon Pareles's review of Adam Lambert's concert last week. "(Thanks, Gil Kaufman!)

• [Ugly Canuck]

  Licked lips are not locked lips.

• [noah django]

  Thank goodness. Now I can go back to not caring about Adam Lambert.

  Pantograph, you might consider sending your mind-reading device back to Captain Crunch for servicing.
  But I’m real proud for you, it sounds like a rare occurrence indeed if you feel a need to share it in spite of nobody asking or caring.

• [DeeZed]

  Whew! I am glad they corrected that statement. Imagine what would happen to society if two men kissed, even accidentally. What’s next? Cats and dogs living together?

• [Anonymous]

  Actually, I think the correction is saying that they were licking lips instead of a quick peck on the shoulder, actually escalating what they had reported… so I don’t think it’s gay-bashing.

• [Chuck]

  Well, alright — but which one was playing the part of the “strong man” after the concert?

• [bobhughes]

  Glad I wasn’t there. I wouldn’t even want to see a straight couple doing this in public. But the fact it’s two guys does make it grosser to me, inb4 “bigot”, “phobe”, etc.
  just get a f’kin room already

    Nah, I’m guessing you’re jealous because you’re not getting any of either sex. I know I am.
