There is currently a poll on People.com asking: Was Steven Tyler too flirtatious with the American Idol contestants?
Currently, 70% of people have responded "No. He's a rocker! What did you expect?" Well, I can answer that. I expected that a 62 year-old-man would not tell a 16-year-old girl that she was showing just the right amount of leg in her outfit. (Even Tom Haverford knows: half your age, plus seven - that's the cutoff).
I wouldn't say I'm offended by this - I'm not here to judge. Well, yes I am. But I'm just saying, it doesn't make for good TV. Awkward (and even offensive) is good when it's Michael Scott forgetting which Asian waitress is his date; not when we have watch a senior citizen gawk over a minor.
