A new MTV Show 'Skins', the remake of a British hit about fucked up teenagers, is walking the thin line between raunchy and child pornography. MTV Execs have already told producers to tone down the show a bit, apparently in the third episode there is a depiction of a 17-year-old actor running down a street naked or some shit. The funniest part is that the American show is already a toned down version of the British one, which must be just ridiculous. Full story here.
The show features actors as young as 15 so the Execs are right to be worried. They don't want to be fucked by the long dick of the FCC. We will see if that fucking happens and the notoriously conservative FCC sodomizes them with fines.
Conservative parents groups like The Parent's Television Council are flipping the fuck out of course.
Look, this just exposes the prudeness of America compared to Europe. Yes, your teenagers are fucking. Yes, they're doing it while on ecstasy. Why not try like, telling them about condoms or something instead of just saying that they can't watch shit like this. I mean they are already doing all the stuff on the show.
James Newman, who plays Tony on the show, had this to say about it's content. "Things like this certainly happen [in real life]. I don't think they necessarily happen with the frequency that it happens on 'Skins,' but it's TV and we want it to be entertaining and it helps from a standpoint on sex and drugs."
Whether or not the show is good, at least it is bringing teenage debauchery to the table to be discussed. I mean even though of course no actual teenagers have sex or do drugs.
