Ear-licking scandal this story has been all over the local tv news the last couple of days. but i don’t get it. so he allegedly kissed some guy on the ears. what’s the big deal? this article makes it sound like the story has been confined to the tabloids, but i’ve seen it on just about every tv news show, and although they could be called tabloids, i don’t think that is what the author is getting at. i daresay, countless people have recieved unwanted kisses, but i don’t see their stories being paraded across the news like this one has. is an unwanted kiss deserving of this much publicity? it all seems rather silly to me.
