AGT viewers furiously slam show for airing 'inappropriate' act despite 'children watching in the aud
AMERICA'S Got Talent fans have expressed their anger at the inclusion of a wild act.
On Instagram, the official America's Got Talent page shared a clip of a circus act with a twist, and viewers weren't happy.
The social media post was captioned: "@bombacircus left little to the imagination."
According to the group's website: "Bomba! is a modern comic circus show, the creation of three Israeli circus artists, Amit, Noam & Yaron."
In the clip, the trio pulled off a routine with props of just an orange ball and wooden sports paddles.
The group juggled the ball with the paddles, showing off incredible coordination as they sent their props flying between them.

However, the men appeared to be completely naked for their routine.
The paddles were used to protect their modesty throughout the performance, with the judging panel - consisting of Simon Cowell, 63, Sophia Vergara, 51, Heidi Klum, 50, and Howie Mandel, 67 - looking a mix of entertained and worried as the act went on.
'SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED'
While the judges ultimately voted to let the memorable act through to the next round, viewers at home weren't as impressed.
One person wrote: "This should not be allowed on TV, everything is so disgusting these days no one has any self respect!"

"This is what is wrong with our society. TV has become so disgusting! This is not talent and you have children in the audience! Dumb that it went through," said another.
A third said: "This is just inappropriate."
"Not family safe," agreed a fourth.
Another person added: "This shouldn’t be allowed. To me, weird and disgusting."
A sixth slammed: "Can't believe this s**t was voted through. The show has gone downhill since the beginning."
"Aren’t there children in the audience?! And isn’t this a family show? I mean, I thought the fart guy was but! But, alas, it can get worse. So glad this isn’t a staple in my home," a final commenter wrote.
FANS VS JUDGES
Despite fan concern about the judge's decisions, show creator Simon previously spoke out about the big change on this season of the show.
The judge admitted: "We slightly broke the rules this year," when explaining the new aspect to Parade.
Historically, each judge only gets one Golden Buzzer, but because of a mistake made by Bruno Tonioli on the British version of the show, judges will now have more than one.
Acts who are selected by a Golden Buzzer get to go directly to the live competition portion of the show to be voted on by American viewers.
Bruno, who was a first-time judge and who was unclear on the rules, hit his buzzer a second time prompting Simon to do the same.

Simon confessed: “It happened in the U.K. because it happened,” before adding, “This weekend in the U.K., it was the eighth Golden Buzzer we gave this year. When I watched it back, if we hadn’t given this person a Golden Buzzer, I would have felt terrible.
"So, we have given out more this year and I don’t think there’s a single person watching who’ll go, ‘They shouldn’t have had that,’ because when they’re that good and you’re in the moment, it’s a great feeling.”
