Okay, in for a penny - in for a pound!

Seeing as how what I regarded to be a relatively innocent comment has caused such a major ruck below please allow me to place things in some form of perspective by inviting your views on the following hypothetical scenario. Norwich City have just scored a goal in the Premier League and the two like-minded players who created it opt to celebrate by engaging in a lengthy, full-on kiss and overly close embrace which the law would seemingly allows. Would you all be comfortable with this with the world watching on TV? Would the referee tolerate such behaviour on the field of play and how long do you think it would be before FIFA took action to prevent it from happening again, law or no law?
