CBC Radio discusses As The World Turns kissing controversy

Michael Jensen was interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio station to discuss this issue. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned on the site somewhere. He was very good at describing the situation. Michael talks for about the first 7 minutes.

Be warned, though, somebody from the American Family Association is also interviewed afterwards, and if that kind of thing turns your stomach, you might want to stop listening after Michael's interview. The good news is that the reporter clearly thought his stance was stupid, even though she was very polite.

The third interview is with Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University. He has some interesting things to say. He talks about how soaps used to always be ahead of the curve, decades ago, so it's surprising now that they are falling behind.
