Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson


You've had a full day to process the Sandra Bullock/Scarlett Johansson kiss from the MTV Movie Awards, and everyone's still buzzing about this dramatic moment in TV history.

Right?

Maybe not.

TresSugar suggests we've grown desensitized to straight women kissing. You see it on TV, re-watch the clip once on YouTube, shrug your shoulders and move on.

I think the MTV Movie Awards kiss would have been much less buzzworthy if it involved somebody other than Sandra Bullock.

Anything that Bullock did at the podium Sunday night would have made headlines. Her move of choice just happened to involve locking lips with another straight woman.

But if we are desensitized to kisses between straight women, is that really a bad thing?

Are we supposed to freak out every time the next Katy Perry comes along?
