I agree with you on all counts, Kathy!  I wonder what teenage *girls* say 
about the final kiss.  Boys are more likely to think a kiss has to be about 
romance; girls kiss each other, their parents, etc., more readily, hence 
don't think every kiss is a prelude to romance/sex.  I didn't even take 
notice of it (I'm 32, though, so what do I know? better ask a 14-year-old).

Your sister in ranting,
Amy

P.S.  I can't believe I'm getting into the shipper debate!  I don't even 
know what the **** a shipper is!  Is it from "relationship"?
